Is there any reason to think we wouldn't be able to upgrade the C8 that comes with the carrack to its bigger brother?
We should be able to check out the expedition version this week, so it will be a good comparison to put out. And I also agree, we should be able to upgrade if we want to the other Pisces if we own a Carrack, even if it was for a small fee.
Welp, guess what!

I was just about to post that as well when I saw that you'd already done so @stockish . LoL Good job.

Funny how the Pisces stuck to my inventory like that. Also... I got an email from RSI about 30 seconds later congratulating me for being so spendy.
It says, "Congratulations! Space Marshall Rank Achieved"... That's disturbing...
So, it seems that your Pisces also happened to arrive with a shiney golden armor set my friend. My Ursa Fortuna did the same for me. lols

Well, from looking at the webpage, the only difference between the C8 and the C8X is the addition of two additional size 1 weapons.
The C8X also comes with a different paint job, but that seems to be all of the differences so far.

Personally, since you can only get a Pisces C8 by owning a Carrack, I'm tempted to leave that as is & pick up an additional C8X for good measure. I think that I might have a "slight" digital ship enjoying addiction, but that's alright because CIG is more than happy to fuel those cravings every few months. My "Space Marshal" title seems to confirm this theory, as does my craving to have a "Wing Commander" title when possible. lol

can I buy one stand-alone, with LTI?
Maybe I'm reading too much into the question, but as an FYI, you can buy the Pisces either as:
a) a game package (USD 55), comes with LTI, or
b) stand-alone ship, (cash for warbond LTI), USD 40, or
c) store credit, LTI, USD 45 (IAE 10 year insurance), or even
d) lol, the SQ42 & SC Game Package with LTI for $75.

(scroll down to the bottom)

I agree... its pretty nice for getting around and also has a little cargo room. Its nice all around starter ship... and a great ship for dropping off boxes. I would like to get something like it but I am still in the air between the 300i and it. I have been using the harbinger and terrapin to do those types of missions.

A quick question if I may, I've been looking around for this answer but haven't found the EXACT answer. Like, there is assumed answers but before I pull the trigger I want to make sure.

I know i cant buy a Warbond ship with Store Credits (or at least thats what i've read.) So, If I were to buy a the Starter Pisces for the $55, then Melt my Arrow, can I then use the Store Credit from the Arrow to upgrade the Pisces to the Arrow, and use the rest of my credits as I please? On that note, couldnt I also melt my Titan and use the combined Store credit to buy another Pisces (with only 10 year Insurance) and upgrade that to something else? I think I tried to do something like this back when the Cutlass Black rework came out and I made a mess out of it, so I want to make sure I get it right this time.

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere and I missed it. Thanks!
you may want to cut and paste this into its own new thread...we have some experts on the whole melting and re-buying & upgrading thing, but I ain't one of them! lol! But there are people here who can help you out with your question.

From what I've seen the C8X is the exact same C8, just with the components pre-installed: you can mount 2 additional weapon on the C8, to have the 4 of the C8X, I would expect that you can have a jumpdrive installed as well...

The C8 only has 2 hardpoints, the other 2 are currently incorrectly showing up in the PU.
