IAE damage report 2955

[NaffNaffBobFace]

C'mon then captains, damage report on your fleet from this IAE. Tell me what happened. I'll start.

So I had a Perseus and an Endeavor base ship with supercollider and landing bay. Looking more and more at the Percy it's a beaut and importantly has a pool table but those big cannons, knowing I WILL need a crew and knowing I'll very rarely have time to take the ship out and use it fully tooled up...and that's a whole lotta credit wrapped up in it... and the Endeavor arguably even worse being a capital ship...

So they both got melted....

...Into an Endeavor Master Set.

And a Spirit A1. And a PTV. As these are both soloable craft I think I'm up on the transaction. Somehow.

'tis 'ere CCU hoarder has been hoarding CCUs.

Just melted some nonsense and got Terrapin -> Railen, Terrapin Medic -> Railen CCUs. Already got two Hull Bs, now I just got to melt Ares Inferno -> Mercury (Bought that today to put it in my buybacks) and I'll get Herald -> Hull A and something something -> RAFT. Gotta cover those ships they straight up told will go up in price, these bumps can sometimes be surprisingly large. Like how Taurus went from 140 to 190 (and then to 200). For seemingly no reason. Not every time though, I think there's been a case of a mere $5 bump as well.

But I certainly can't leave them uncovered. It's store credits anyhow.

Melted a couple of things and picked up a couple of 10 yrs. No new money as per usual.

The fleet seems to be relatively unscathed so far

Percy is my box delivery ship, no need for crew.

Percy is my box delivery ship, no need for crew.

And the pool table too, i know... i do enjoy the 600i and its the same size... Gah, the deed is done I'll just have to use the Endeavour as my box runner.

Ditto...I didn't bother melting anything last year, but this year, the Wolf just looked too good...I just melted some old ships I haven't flown for years, and woo-hoo! Brand new JPEG spaceship smell!

The hangar got a significant rework but it was all credit and CCU's. The only new cash was giving out a couple of MDC's as LTI tokens to some newer players.

Well, seems there's severe damage to the Hull D now, it's been downgraded to being literally just Hull C with an extra spindle. Like wth CIG?
So, I'll likely change my Hull D CCU chain to being Ironclad Assault CCU chain then, or something. Sad, I was kinda looking forward to bulk hauling.

Well I picked-up:

Drake Clipper
Drake Golem Ox
Kruger L-22 Alpha Wolf plus ballistic gun set (Upgraded L-21 with CCU)
RSI Salvation (TEST-ride till I can buy it in game)
MDC (TEST-ride till I can buy it in game)
Zeus ES -> Starlancer Max CCU (for after I get the BIS paint for the ES)
Starlancer Tac -> Galaxy CCU along with the refinery module and cargo module (will hold onto it until the Galaxy gets closer)
several paints
picked up all the 'Epoque' armor sets

I lost:
Sent my $250 BMM back to buybacks purgatory, again. (It'll come back, it always does) lol.


I've been enjoying my Perseus with thundercloud paint. Waited patiently for that ship, and it didn't disappoint. Sexiest box runner in game!

The Clipper is fun too. I've actually done a few interstellar small cargo missions in it to Pyro, and was surprised at it's quantum range!

I'll have to update my fleet pic as soon as Starlink gets the new models in.



Edited because me no type good. Some bad yes.

Exactly! I actually melted my retaliator. Was my fav ship but realised i don't ever fly it and it isnt much use for anything solo really :(

I've only added the 2 event starter packs to my main account, and I'm in the process of converting my surplus credits into BIS ships, to get as many of the free paints as my final (release/1.0) fleet is likely to need. Post IAE, I'll probably be melting most of the BIS ships and picking up the new releases to evaluate.

The recent changes to the Dominus and Praetorian packs have forced a rethink of how my final fleet is likely to be configured: I had been planning to eventally use one of those old packs to build my fleet from (I wanted certain extras that were in them - The piano in particular), but will now have to start the planning again from scratch.

I wil also be grabbing a number of CCU's before the event ends, to cover the planned price increases post-IAE (Hull A and B, RAFT, and Railen) and known/predicted 2026 releases - My CCU collection is getting out of hand, though, and I may end up having to cull it at some point in the future.

Damage report:
no ships were harmed in the making of this improvement
I picked up an AW2725Q, to improve my overall immersion. Also cos I work with 4k+ footage all the time now and only had 1080p monitors.

Was very tempted to pick up an OX cos I really like the Golem, and Drake ships in general, but I can wait 3 months for it to be available for AUEC.
The rest I didn't even consider. Don't much care for the Salvation or have any use for the MDC, all the others are really far out of budget, and my gameplay goal has always been collecting ships IN the game, not with my wallet, so buying more ships would defeat the purpose anyways.
