Glorious leader, you missed a prime opportunity to advise newGreetings new arrivals!
When a cheap ship like the Nox goes on sale this Friday, as a first time concept sale, it comes with LTI, which is Life Time Insurance.
We have been told many times by CIG that LTI is not really important, and that may be so, but if at any point in the future a ship you really like comes out for sale again or you want an existing ship like the Saber, you can do a CCU.
CCU is a cross chassis upgrade, this will allow you to upgrade your Nox to what ever other ship by paying the difference, and the LTI will move with it.
Right now I can buy a Hornet, but it has 6 month insurance.
If I have a Nox, do a CCU to a Hornet, it will have LTI.
We call these small ships, LTI tokens. ;)
If you are new to Star Citizen, buy the Nox this week for the LTI.

I'm trying! I can't F5 fast enough!!
I was telling my boss's husband today about the Nox and he suggested I watch The Wild One. Is that a pretty good how-to video? He also said I should watch Easy Rider, but I've looked at the magazine and didn't feel like buying it.

You're not hitting it hard enough. Try using a bat or a hammer.
My F5 abandoned me. It jumped off the keyboard! The 2 lb hammer was a bad choice :(
Ok, you got me, when I saw the girls, I bought the magazine.
This looks important... Where and how exactly do you "melt" a ship?
Great! So by using this you can make sure to have LTI on your starter ships once the game is launched... I assume the insurance will be damn needed in the beginning, before you've built cash and experience.
Be carefull here... for many, the "starter ship" is part of a package that includes the game / games themselves. NEVER melt your game package.. you will lose access to the game!
You can CCU your starter ship to anything you like.. but never melt it.
8lb works better.
Hahhaha, well played sir.
Be careful.
@thezenix2 exactly this. ^^
Do NOT melt your game package. Melt anything else, use the credits to buy LTI ships, and upgrade those ones. But always always keep your game package.
I felt that Billy had the better looking ride.easy rider is a classic,
Have you gotta helmut?
Have I gotta helmut? Ha ha ha!"

Good advice there, both in Montoya's post and the follow-ups.
Since the original post is targeted at new players, might it be worth adding the standard disclaimer that no additional ship purchases for real money are required as all ships will be available for in-game currency on release, and that ship purchases are primarily a way of supporting development of the game?
That's something that we take for granted (and ignore :kissing:) but might worth clarifying in a post aimed at newcomers.
