The Aquila is $310 but does include the $50 Ursa Rover.
The statement was $250 was reasonable for the MSR because the Andromeda was $275, that is incorrect.

My mistake, I see the Andromeda is 225. I wonder why I thought it was 275? Weird.
250 still isn't bad though for the MSR.

Wasn't the pledge for the Andromeda $275? I'm going off memory...not sure you should believe somebody with incipient dementia, ha ha

Weird, I could've sworn the Aquila was $275 at one point. Sunder said $275 and I seriously thought one form of the Connie was that price. Was there a price raise?
At first I was quite upset at all the Warbond stuff, but since they now seem to be offering the ship at original price Warbond and the raised price for credits, I think I'm ok with it now.

I remember the Aquilla as more than the Andromeda, but I believe the price of the Aquilla went up when the model went to flyable.

The Andromeda, with the game package is $275.
You spend $50 for the game with that package, unlike the typical $15.
Question is now, what is the rover limit size in the MSR's rear bay? Whats everyone's guess? I say its limited to a cyclone or smaller.
I have to agree... I was gonna say the Ursa Rover, only to realise the Cyclone is taller, somehow! Whether it will fit the Rover in terms of length and width will remain to be seen.
I not remember where and when but I resemble some Q&A on this topic that state the MSR have now space for an Ursa in it.
Does this exclude the Cyclone to be carryed either? I don't think so: actually every ship that can fit an Ursa can also fit the Cyclone, I assume CIG stick with this line, also because to fit the first and not the second the height clearance whould be minimal
As long as it fits a ROC which is the tallest vehicle atm, we're good.

Ursa. When they say "Rover" that is what they mean.

yeah, just happened to be looking at the RSI website, took a picture of what is in the package --> you get a Greycat Buggy! and a workbench...wait, wtf is a workbench?
I believe the workbench is hanger flare... so just like the Greycat Buggy, its useless.
The workbench was an area you were supposed to be able to upgrade things like weapons, components, etc. You would also be able to use it to repair items.
unfortunately, that gameplay hasn’t happened, and doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon, if ever.

I think the general notion of cap ships requires workbenches. The stated premise for the benches was that all components can be repaired by players if they have access to a bench. So inclusion of a bench is a big deal. I think thus far the only ships in game intended to have benches are the Carrack and 890 Jump. If you don't have a bench you have to repair in your hangar, so long duration craft really offer something very useful. You can overclock your Polaris guns, thrusters, shields, etc. and be fixing them daily while out on a month long excursion; but this requires players' time and effort in game. They're making Engineering a real station to focus on.
Workbenches are an integral part of the wear/repair and overclocking dynamics. They can't get rid of one without the others.
BTW, I also recall hearing recently that the reason they took the third engine off the MSR was so they could open the bay enough to get an Ursa in. So yeah, it should fit an Ursa.

gotta disagree, in my experience, the Greycat Buggy has been one of the most useful and reliable vehicles, ha ha

Don't forget the Fish Tank and fish. I guess the cot goes in the hangar bay for the Merlin Pilot.
