All days:

RSI is offering a complete pack, so if you want that Phoenix with LTI, this is your chance.
The Polaris is no longer limited, so you can now upgrade an LTI ship to a Polaris to get LTI on it.

Rumors:
The Hercules Starlifter C2, M2, and A2 will be on display May 25-26 -confirmed. A2 will not be tourable, but other two will be.
The Tumbril Nova will be on display May 25-26 - Confirmed
RSI has a new ship, the Scorpius. This is a concept and is already on sale - Confirmed. Concierge today, all starting May 21
There may be a lockdown event similar to the Xenothreat event where the 9-Tails lock down a station - this may have a reputation involved - still unknown, but unlikely
We may be able to see a Bengal Carrier do a flyby or two-Confirmed
New Armor, including possibly the new bounty hunting armor the "Aztalan" - still unknown but unlikely.

RSI has a new ship, the Scorpio or Scorpius. This may be a concept, or (unlikely) straight to flyable
There may be a lockdown event similar to the Xenothreat event where the 9-Tails lock down a station - this may have a reputation involved
We may be able to see a Bengal Carrier do a flyby or two
New Armor, including possibly the new bounty hunting armor the "Aztalan"
Interesting the display days don't overlap this event.

Polaris is no more a limited Hull !
They are doing like they did for Orion last year.

"You'll notice Polaris is not listed here. Yes, it is no longer a stock limited ship. " (from Ulf-CIG)

That will probably end the craze about it on grey market, thats good.

It was always supposed to be fairly available as a militia ship. They locked it down for a year.

When did they take CCU to Polaris off limited? I just got an A2 to Polaris CCU in case I don't like the A2.
A limited ship isn't supposed to have CCU available. Last years Invictus was the only one, that I am aware of, where there was no CCU, though the CCU at last years IAE was limited. Those were the only two sales where the Polaris was limited.

Yes!!! They have the Polaris Warbond CCU for sale today. Just grabbed one from the Perseus for $25.

Now for the biggest decision of my ship buying life:
1. Keep the M2
2. Upgrade the M2 to a Perseus
3. Upgrade all the way to the Polaris
