Your Ships. The Why and The Future Purchases.

[Decoys84]

Avenger - End of LTI impulse buy (prob most at risk for CCU)
350R - Keeps my options open for racing in the game if that is the play style I end up in
Caterpillar - Early days considering a alt pirate character
Cutlass - To go with the Cat
Connie Andromeda - Early day backing big shiny ship. Never upgraded because I felt the combat and freight capability's were pretty good on base model and hope to be able to specialise it the way I see fit in the future.
Aurora LN - Hope to have this as my starting ship to kind of work my way up.
Grey Cat - Impulse buy that can't be melted

For the Future I hope to get a gladiator bomber as I think it would be the most useful if I am tagging along on big organised stuff and not having to organise an entire crew to crew one of the larger bombers. Also love the starfarer since day one and still can dream of owning one. The freelancer DUR is also a consideration for exploring with my brother.

Regret was not purchasing an Idris-M remember looking at them in the pledge store way back and even though I had the cash I couldn't justify the cash on a game that only had a few million in the bank at the time. Now even if I had the chance I don't have the money anymore.

I can't remember if I posted in this thread yet, and I don't want to spill my beer checking, so here's the timeline:


Jan.5/14 - Cutlass pack w/aplha and goodies
Jan.10/14 - Freelancer+ pack w/alpha and goodies
Nov.24/14 - Shut up and take my money & other doodads
- Starfare Anniversary ship only
- Upgrade - Cutlass Blue
Nov.26/14 - Uprade - Freelancer DUR
- Electro skin changer

I wonder, does the electro skin apply to all your ships or do you need to buy one for each? I would assume the latter.

Future considerations (with USD or UEC):

Redeemer gunship for destruction and air-dropping troops...err...BEER SALES REPS!
Mustang omega or Karthu'al for racing if I ever get the hang of piloting again.
Banu Merchantman or Hull C for massive freight transport, ship moving service and/or smuggling.
Carrack for larger scale exploration than the Freelancer DUR can handle.
Herald for information running (legality vague).
Orion mining platform.
Reclaimer for salvaging the ships I/we umm...accidentally relieve their incompetent pilots' the burden of with too much vigor.
Whatever else I can justify/afford.

 

[Black Sunder]

I got a Carrack. Very happy with it but not happy with all the scrolling it took me to complete its first mission.

 

[Shar Treuse]

But so worth it to get the Cartographer title, right? right? :p

Not really.

Freelancer MIS because.. Freelancer. Perfect ship for me.. has offense, cargo, and a turret for the kids to play in.

I also have two AMD Mustangs I am hoping to trade up to different Mustangs when they come out and one Aurora LX to either keep as-is or be the starting point for something else with 24 mo insurance.

Pretty much done spending money until they release the cross chassis upgrades although I will make an exception for the MISC starter ship if it includes LTI.

 

[WarrenPeace]

I'll probably grab a Reliant when they come out, because MISC fanboy here. I really wanted both the Starfarer, and the Hull-C when it comes out. Also, holy crap, we're probably going to bust 65 mil before the day is done.

 

[GotSkwerlz]

I only have an Aurora LN. Got it because it seemed like the most practical ship to start out with for someone on a budget.

I would like to get an Avenger but unfortunately its not in my budget. Waiting for it to come out in SC to see it it's worth the buy.

If you have not already consider melting and getting the LX and the upgrade to LN. Then you will have 24 mo. insurance.

Anvil Super Hornet - This is what started it all from last year's anniversary. Figured that's all I would ever need.

Xi-an Khartu-Al - Fast and maneuverable and looks like it will require a different flavor of piloting.

Aegis Reclaimer - Had to buy as soon as I saw it. Hoping there will be good money to be made salvaging from Day 1.

Drake Herald - So I'm an IT security guy... the info running, info stealing, and electronic warfare mechanics sound like a fun niche.

Freelancer MIS - Just picked this up during the 2014 anniversary for the LTI after melting an Andromeda. It's still on the bubble, but wanted something smaller than a Connie but bigger than a fighter.

Anvil Carrack - Who doesn't like to explore?

Aegis Redeemer - Interested to see what mods can be made to make it something other than a gunship/transport.

Aegis Javelin - Needed a place to store the Redeemer. Got it on the third wave after having it in cart from the first wave. Even then, the transaction didn't go all the way through and was stuck on "pending". Fortunately, the system let me pay manually later, and the ship showed up in my hangar.


I honestly didn't think I'd get a Javelin and was planning to get a 350R, Retaliator and Cutlass Blue during the sale, in addition to the Carrack. Yes, I realize I have a serious problem. I also melted a Starfarer LTI and Connie package. I didn't know about the concierge service before, but might try to get that Starfarer back.

 

[Liquor_and_ores]

I might be pulling the trigger on a Gladiator, retaliator, SH and maybe a Starfarer

My cat will only get a few toys this year for Christmas ha ha

Third part boat confirmed!

 

[WarrenPeace]

Woot! TEST contains 1.5% of all privately-ownded Javelins!

Hornet, Retaliator bomber, Merchantman, 890 Jump, Idris-M and Javelin...and that's it.

Fine stuff to fly while drinking.

Congrats on the f5 skills! I'll keep you fueled/escort/crew for you anytime.

 

[that_frog_kurtis]

but might try to get that Starfarer back.

Its clearly the coolest ship in the game, so you really should. Beerfarer4lyf

 

[Flashwit]

Nice, javelin menage à trois

 

[Erroll]

Resist the temptation to get a cheap Chinese knock-off. They can use hazardous materials in the construction.

 

[GeoToaster]

Constellation Andromeda
Origin 325a
Aurora LN
Avenger
M50

My first package was a Freelancer before the variants, but it wasn't long before I upgraded to the rear admiral package because the physical rewards where too tempting. TBH I miss my freelancer, I love the idea of a flying RV but w/e.

before the M50 the 300i was the most attractive ship in the game to me, its like a flying BMW and IMO is a sexy beast.

The Aurora for me was a fall back ship and when the LN was offered I was quick to snatch it up, it's one that will likely end up blowing up more than any other vessel in my fleet because this'll be one I'll enjoy slamming into people.

The Avenger seemed to me like a well rounded craft and I like the overall design of the ship, my reason is that simple for that one :)

The M50 is probably my favorite ship in the game so far. Its fast, agile, fairly strong for its size, and is like a Ferrari in space, and what's not to love about a fast ride?
