Buying ships? - READ THIS FIRST ! ! !

Buy in Euros!

A note for those of us in the UK...

Since adding VAT to prices, the cost of ships in Star Citizen has become more expensive for those of us in the EU, however CIG have set their own conversion rates between EUR=>USD and GBP=>USD, and there is a significant difference in the cost when buying in Euros - to the point where at least half of the VAT is eroded by the conversion if you buy in Euros.

Example:

Avenger Stalker (Bounty Hunter variant)
Pre-VAT Price: $60 (roughly £39.53)

CIG Store Price in USD: $72 ($60 + $12 VAT) (roughly £47.44)
CIG Store Price in GBP: £46.80
CIG Store Price in EUR: E57.60 (roughly £41.60) <=== Best price - almost equivalent to the Pre-VAT price!

And the bigger the ship, the more you save when buying in Euros.

Have fun!
