I feel you. Kickstarting 100 bucks for a Digital Pirate Pack felt like such a big hit and investment....now I have more ships than I can shake a stick at. It's honestly a little intimidating.

On the bright side I have replacements of the ships I will be losing the most (Cutlass Blue and Buccaneer) which is nice, since I'm pretty rubbish at this game so far.

You'll be that recluse, hidng in your endeavor, afraid to come out. Then some exceptional mission will come up, and we'll have to drag you along with us, quite against your will. We'll need your expertise to save the 'verse.
We'll drag you in a star spanning romp across the galaxy, and in the end you'll be the hero...because of all your kickers upgrades!

But it'll be a hell of a ride. And you'll spend the whole trip saying, over and over, "Why the hell are your ships so squishy, Owl" and "why did I ever leave my lab".
FTFY

Haha. I'm a horrible pilot too. I'd best get better, as I intend to do a lot of fighting.
Never thought of having multiples of the same ship. I did think of overlap between my ships, but not redundancy. Brilliant.

God, you ruined it. That's just so unrealistic! ;)

Maybe your mission is to trick out a captured Vanduul kingship for a suicide mission into the heart of their space. That'd be something else.
My imagination is awesome.
Yours is OK too. Ha

You just need more practice ;)

Obviously I am the heretic here...


*IF* the Carrack or any other 350 dollar ship comes on the market anytime soon, I'm certainly going to purchase the $10 CCU.
There should be the Anniversary sale soon, yes?

Once I flew in 2.4 the 5min wait to get back in a Sabre was driving me nuts and I committed right then and there to having two at least.

Anniversary in October. But there should be one for gamescon or one of those other events.

Yes, I'm starting to see the value in this.
Hmmmmm....

You're actually storing up luck for later when it counts, and note you can't be flying the Cutlass and Buck. Its when you get to flying those that counts.

That all said, marcsand2 is the guy to see to turn you into an ace.

I'm very honored, but o_O
I don't fight other players in AC, only Vanduul. I only attack pirates in PU. I don't make youtube movies, I don't advertise.
I only give tips to anyone who is willing to read them and I practise allot.
How do I get the big honour :eek: that I'm mentioned as Ace maker :oops::oops::oops:

If I tell you how many times my ship load out changed I could fill a full page of the tread. Being this said , I think the one I have now it possible the one I will stick until the game release. I say this because two of my 5 ships (7 if I count the 2 Dragonflies) are multirrole ships, the Vanguard that can be a fighter, do ewar and launch torpedoes just changing the modules. The other one is the caterpillar that may not be the best doing things, but man it can to a lot of tricks.

That's what I'm looking for. 5 ships, a couple of multi-roles, and a whole lot of fun.
I can teach you to fly! Mostly in a straight line...or corkscrew if you hit something.
Corkscrew....wine!!! That's perfect.
Specify: it..... wait....beer....doesn't matter..... consider it done.
It = flight training. ;)
Glad you're on board. Haha
