I believe you can take your fuel and sell to NPCs on planets/stations and head right back out.
Haha. Always Sunny: a solution for every problem.
I'm kinda thinking the same way Sam. I went to a lot of trouble to acquire my Star-G (again, kudos to @Grimbli for the find), but I didn't want to end up with multiple large ships. Now I have a Star-G, as well as a Redeemer>Carrack CCU and and an Andromeda>Caterpillar CCU. I'm only going to be using one ship at a time, so what does the rest of my fleet do while I'm flying one particular ship?
I'll be flying ships based on my mood or needs. Today might be a Reclaimer day or a Carrack day. Maybe I'll need some fuel and use my Starfarer or want to overclock and jump on an Endeavor. Maybe I'll just crew someone else's ship.
I agree with this... I will be the loanee as I can't afford all of those ships. It is a *great* reason to be a member of test with more than 9000! members.
Sigh. You're both right of course. Silly me. Guess I'll keep that Beerfarer. It was a fair amount of work that went into getting her.
You are just the man for me then. Zapp, look no further than your friendly neighborhood, over-ship-stocked Canadian. I shall be the loaner to your loanee. I shall provide the milk, you shall make the butter (there's a sex joke in there somewhere).
Wait, I'm still kind of confused. I definitely upgraded from the anniversary Starfarer-base to the Star-G LTI when it was announced. I imagine a lot of people picked up Starfarer-base -> Star G upgrades then or got some (insert ship here) -> Star G upgrades during the 2015 anniversary sale. Did I miss that the Star-G was back on sale (and available for upgrades) during the announcement about it being in the Hangar for 2.3? I thought they were only selling the starfarer base (at an increased price). If the sold both the base at the increased price and the Star-G at the old price for that sale, that would have been very beneficial for people on the fence!
Nope, you didn't miss a sale, I put "acquired" in quotes cause we used the Grey Market. As soon as I found out about the increase in price I scoured the Market for Andromeda to Gemini CCU and got a bunch for people. Was only able to get about 5 before everyone raised price to over $100 for them.
That sucks. There are so many ships we'd all like to have its a problem.
I hear you, my good friend IRL (and also Test/Steam/SC) Cyinni has always been the most interested in exploration. If he was asked for a list of features he'd want in a best-in-class, multi-crew exploration ship, the Carrack would tick every box and then some. It was his dream ship. If he could only keep one ship in his fleet, it would be that one. Knowing what he wanted, I would have suggested (and probably did) he melt anything else he owned (except for his package-containing ship) to purchase it when the concept came out.
I would wait to melt the Star G til you're certain you want to get rid of it as its a CCU and you can't get that back. Maybe get a $0 ccu from another ship to the Carrack so you can change it later if you want.
Oh I'll crew with you. That's a guarantee. I'll probably end up buying my own anyways. I freaking love that ship. So much. Haha.
Also an issue of mine: deciding which fighter to keep. Lol. I have a Sabre. Haven't had a chance to fall in love with it though. Been in the field doing real army stuff, and will be for a while.
Oh Fuck, there will be no melting anything for a while. Until the Carrack is coming of age, the Star-G shall remain in my hanger.
Remember, the Carrack is probably months or half a year away from just Hangar ready. It's fairly easy to save up $350 in that amount of time, or more if it increases. You know you'll get all 3, don't worry about it.
So I had a SuperHornet -> Sabre CCU waiting. And a Merlin waiting for an upgrade. When I saw the SH would be back last weekend, I pulled the trigger and did Merlin -> SH -> Sabre. I'm not sure how well it performs in Swarm, but I'll tell you to fly it around the baby PU and maybe get into a little dogfighting. That's how I fell in love with the Sabre during the recent all-ships test and decided to finally pull that trigger! I think that might also do the trick for you! When you get back--- safe travels until that day!
You're an asshole. Haha. ;) You're also probably right. Dammit. And I don't have to save up $350. Just $250. I already have the CCU from Redeemer. *sigh*
Thanks for the well wishes. I'll stay safe, I promise. Live for battle runs are happening for the next week. 1000lb bombs from the F-18's, the 777's dropping arty, Leopard C2's raining 105mm HE shells, LAV III's with the triple 'pop pop pop' of the 25mm, infantry lighting up the soft targets, and lil' ol' me breaching antitank obstacles with my Badger AEV. All coordinated in a symphony of beautiful destruction.
God, I pray that I don't end up trying to decide between both of them. Or worse . . .buying both. Haha. SC life is complicated enough.
