Just tell me where you want it pointed & I'll fly us into it unless our weapons crew can eliminate the things in the way. Cheers & congrats on snagging a Jav. My efforts to add an Idris to my fleet all failed this year ... again. But I'm not giving up on that goal, I will keep trying for as long as CIG offers them for sale.
Second star to the right.. and straight on till morning!

Did you manage to get one in your cart on wave 1?

Correct, wave 1 I managed to get it into the cart, then it kept giving me error code pop-ups when I went to pay until the pop up said that it was out of stock.
That's exactly what was going to happen. You would have to be godly with your speed to get it on wave 1. What you needed to do is keep it in your cart until wave 2. Fill out all payment requirements before, store credits makes it so much easier, and just simply click pay, scroll to accept and click complete. You can do it in 1 second. repeat several times until it goes into the payment cycle and you've got it.

With mine I start 1 minute before so I can get into a rhythm. I won all my f5's with this method.

Actually, this was exactly what I did for wave 2 & then wave 3. Wave 2 gave me a glitch saying that my coupon was invalid even though it hadn't actually been used yet. Wave 3 glitch said that I didn't have enough store credit, even though I had a few hundred store creds more than enough to cover the difference, then showed that it had been sold out already before I could try again. Honestly, it feels as though CIG has it programmed against those that were using store creds to purchase an Idris.

I used store creds to get my Idris but cash for the Javelin. You must have just tried it at the wrong time as many others fried the store trying to get it done. when I did it, I tried 1 minute before the wave drop and just repeated until I got it moments after 00.00 UTC so I was first inline luckily.

Looks like the gremlins conspired against you with the creds and coupon. sorry mate. Looks like next year is yet another wait to try again.

True indeed, perhaps I'll be playing the anime Goblin Slayer in the background the next time this opportunity happens, in hopes of scaring those little buggers away from stopping me again. LoL

I've got a question for any that might know for themselves.

When a person is able to purchase an Idris, are they given the option to pick up the P to K add-on at that point or do they receive that later? Asking in case I finally succeed in obtaining an Idris, to know if I'll have to snag the add-on / upgrade then or can pick it up later.
Aah, shame you didn't get it this time around, @Talonsbane.

Since I don't think anyone answered this question here, the Idris upgrade kits are available at any time in the pledge store once you own an Idris. You can't pick them up when you're buying the Idris, so don't worry, you won't miss out on them. You can focus on the race to get the Idris itself.

Thanks for the support my friend as well as the info about the kit for afterwards. I've been all sorts of curious about the kit, while doing my best to focus on getting the prize. Now I've got several months to work on my patience until its next potential availability.

Has anyone else noticed that while there's still an Apex and Zenith hall at IAE, instead of each manufacturer having their ships on display for 48 hours, each display is only open for 24 hours. The halls still alternate, so only one or other hall is open at once. I wonder why.

I am too lazy to find the official post for a quote, but in essence:
Typical CIG incompetence, they fucked something up that used to work, and they expect to not be competent enough at their jobs to fix it before IAE ends.

unfortunately, this is correct. They tested it...then probably made some "small changes" in the version they released, but they didn't document those changes and they don't have the staff/energy/OT budget to fix it.

I am looking at the sales numbers, and unless the Paladin pulls in a TON of money, this IAE won't be the moneymaker they hoped....
