Well... it's off topic -as much as talking about ships in TEST Forums can be- but which Ships do you have and/or want to melt for it?I've made a little deal with myself - I have two ships i'd be okay melting for this. If the 600i is cheaper than those two melted and the cost of the 1050 together (about £100gbp), I'll be okay going for it as long as it fits my needs for a large ship. If it is more I m not touching it no matter how nice. And it has to have signs of showing before pay-day.
I've had too long to think about this ship pledge, really... I've been waiting so long for the 600, I heard it was a legend - like a Unicorn or a T-Total TESTie. That photo on the back of the Defender brochure? Hoax'd, turns out it was a crashed Weather Balloon.
In any case, I wouldn't suggest hyping yourself too much about a Ship that's not here yet...especially since it might be priced higher than similar Ships we have.
