Nice scoring an F8C! my "last minute" pick up was the Eclipse....the ship I didn't know I needed...hearing torpedoes hit ships is soooo satisfying.
Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?
- Thread starter Patrick Spaceman
- Start date
I'll use my Corsair as a daily, as for a Carrack, i'm, waiting to see what the MISC Odyssey will be like..interesting as it mines it's own quantainium and has a hydrogen scoop.
I was so impressed by Vulture displayed at Drake DefenseCon, that I checked its upgrade options. The only ship I could theoretically decommission was Gladius, the ship I'm using for hard flying only, but I wasn't sure about upgrading it to salvager. I checked ship loaner matrix, and to my surprise I found that Vulture loaners are Prospector (interesting choice) and... Buccaneer!
I'm a proud owner of the Vulture LTI now, with the very cool space miner and the "huge-engines-with-the-small-ship-attached-to-them" fighter on loan. I do not invest in any concept ship unless it has a useful loaner or loaners, or unless it can be purchased as cheap CCU or CCUs to one of the flyable ships I already own.
In this case I didn't even have to spend any real money on the new ship, as I upgraded Gladius to Vulture and used store credits to pay the difference. If I need a fast light fighter once the salvager is released, I would buy Gladius again, either on RSI store or in game.

I have one also. Just stopped back there to have one last quick look...the pilot's chair looks fantastic.I was so impressed by Vulture displayed at Drake DefenseCon, that I checked its upgrade options.

So far...
2x Mule
Vulcan
Terrapin
SRV
MSR (melted my Fortuna 2950 Pack, and CCU chained this standalone one.)
600i (CCU Chained to a C2, then picked up a C2 > 600i CCU from a friend)
Scorpius
A few WB CCUs for next sale
Paints
Still have $160 in store credit to spend. Debating between a Gemini (35% off), a C2 (38% off) or a Caterpillar (36% off).

I just picked up a bunch of Mules as LTI tokens.
Didn’t pick up anything else this Invictus. I’m eyeing the offerings during IAE later this year.

A new bottle of Ghost Owl whiskey. It's been out of stock for a while!
Will see how the Corsair (I'm waiting for mine) turns out, could be a complete dog (I wanted a Redeemer...so I hired one and flew it.....hated it....parked it up till the hire time ran dry)
One ship I picked up late via a Mule CCU was....the Avenger Titan....
What an awesome ship! it's perfect for bunker and box missions. It's now my preferred daily driver over my Cutlass. Once IAE rolls around again I will upgrade it to the "Renegade"..I tried doing some box missions with an Aurora LN instead of the Cutlass...throw the waste boxes behind the seat....then tractor beam them out the door once done....yeah..nah. (Also there's nice subscriber skins for the Avenger that I already have, and look pretty good)

I almost got a Dragonfly ages ago, but opted for a Nox Kue...so sexy Japanese space bike..
Yeah that's another one I'm looking at solely because I heard it fits in the front of the 400i .

A Dragonfly is the only ground vehicle I have. It isn't as fast as a Nox, but more versatile, IMHO.
Ahhhhh....Only money
Got that X winged Gem with two external storage units and a Mule to leave in whatever carrier I plant my virtual butt in

Nice, I do think they have a smaller footprint than a Dragonfly.
Absolutely more versatile, second seat and a small amount of cargo....just not as sexy.
Watching the wings unfold, will never get old.Ahhhhh....Only money
