Anniversary Sale (12/11/2014)

Galatoni · November 18, 2014, 05:00:55 PM

Until the final ship list comes out, I thought this would be a nice place to discuss ship prices/wishlists and the like for the upcoming sale.

I'm about to be putting my last money into this game (read: last I have

) and i'm rather hoping to gather as much information as possible.

I'm considering melting the Redeemer and adding a bit to it for the Retaliator (depending on price, and CR saying that LTI isn't that much of a 'big deal'), and i'm also having the Carrack vs Aquila debate with myself. Is anyone else having similar thoughts?

Can items purchased via melting, be gifted?

Galatoni · November 18, 2014, 07:29:54 PM

No. Once they're site credit they're account bound. Shame really.

Well, the Carrack won't be in the sale, so that's one less problem for you to ponder on right now. :blink:

Aye. I guess there is that. I was rather hoping it'd be on the sale. But alas. I've gotta wait done more for that.

I am rather interested in the discussion about ships returning and 2 new concepts!

Gorion · November 20, 2014, 12:40:25 PM

Yeah, no LTI, just 2 years.

Galatoni · November 20, 2014, 12:45:34 PM

Thats really useful actually. From what CR has said about LTI not being a big deal. I'm not as concerned about it. Its not as if its not going to be possible to fund the insurance in game! LTI is a great want-to-have, and fantastic if you've got it. I guess I just don't see why people get so emotional about it. Possibly just me though.

They have also pointed out that the LTI only covers the base ship, if you put lots of expensive upgrades on it they are not included in the LTI.

Yep, that's been known for a while, but you will be able to buy top-up insurance for your mods afaiaa.

Here's my pov.
(Assuming insurance is ship bound)

Multiple hangars
Multiple Ships
Additional ship Cargo + modification (Mentioned before) insurance p/ship
Cost per landing
Cost on duration on landing? < any idea if they're going to do that?

Costs add up fast; unless insurance days are actual flight days/used once a ship leaves its hangar.

Galatoni · November 20, 2014, 02:29:43 PM

I've a feeling they'll either do parking costs per landing or have no fee. It would be silly otherwise. That's just speculation though.

Gorion · November 20, 2014, 02:32:05 PM

Afaik, per landing is already planned, which are waivered if you have a hangar (paid for) on the planet.

TeaLeaf · November 20, 2014, 02:46:27 PM

They have already said (I think) that it will be more expensive at places where you do not own a hangar. How they will apportion it is still up in the air, but fuel, maintenance costs, hangar rental etc will all start to be outlined during Q3 I expect as they head towards a PU Alpha for Q4 2015.

Galatoni · November 20, 2014, 02:54:42 PM

Well I'm wrong no surprise. Hope you don't need to be an accountant to work everything out. I'll end up dodging bailiffs
