Yeah I grabbed an old HH->Polaris out of buyback on a whim just in case the Polaris makes an unexpected price jump this year; I'm worried it's due. . .
I have a harder time figuring out my exact cost of each ship than you guys as most of my ships are all built out of the old 5-ship Explorer package, but it total it's averaging a 50% savings, netting me the Carrack w/C8X, BMM, Redeemer, Scorpius, and a Cutty Black all for $1000. Have unapplied CCUs to make the BMM into a Polaris and the Black might go to either a 600iE or the new Galaxy!

50% is already an achievement ! Its very unusual to do this, using just the CCUs from one sale, so you are obliged to stock upon CCUs over time. Those old exploration packages are great when you can get them !

My suspicion is that the planned update on the Polaris for ISC this week was going to be used as the justification for a planned price increase tomorrow. Hey, the ship is now 20 percent larger and has a S9 spinal gun so we’ve jacked the price 40 percent type of thing.

Don't sweat the "what ifs" or "if I only"...enjoy your fleet man, those are huge savings anyone would love to have gotten.
People gladly paid full price for those!

Hehe, yeah. I'm eagerly waiting for the ships (and their gameplay) to come out so I can go around inspecting stuff with Endeavor, Hauling with Hull D, bartering with the BMM or just munching garbage with the Reclaimer. All of those things sound like pretty relaxing fun stuff. Well, while waiting for that to happen, I just put a Specialty VariPuck S5 with AD4B on my Hornet and absolutely shredded some bounty targets. Fun stuff all around! 🍻

My Prospector chain became a Taurus chain when my Taurus became a Corsair chain so now I have to start a Prospector chain all over (luckily the Prospector was Warbond today) :drunk:

Our Corsairs will blot out the sun! That ship seems to have been quite popular in TEST lately :glorious:

Yeah, I concur with @vahadar here, 50% is already amazing. Getting much over that usually requires ever increasing amounts of luck, like how Taurus went from $140 to $190 and I just happened to see the announcement in time.

Well this thread didnt go the way I thought it was going to go. The title is misleading!

Hehe, yeah. I admit that I might've hatched a mischievous little plot to mislead the reader a bit there... :like:

Wow you actually found a way to escape inflation if you were inclined to use this patience on a grander scale with the greymarket you could possible beat Warren Buffet for profit :D
I doubt I'd be patient enough myself.
How many years has this been going on?

I recall they said during citcon or IAE last year that the Polaris was going to be full capital component, bigger, and that the loadout will be reworked. I have though missed that part on the S9 spinal mount. It is mentionned somewhere?

umm, no. I was just pulling stuff out of thin air in an absurd manner.

I have no idea what the Polaris will have, what size, components, or weapons.

I know it was said to be larger, but who know what will happen overall. Think it will still be a torpedo boat, but that's about it.
