[sorted now] Has anyone got a spare LTI (buyback?) package of something smallish?

[edit: I'm now sorted for an LTI package - thanks for the offers chaps :thumbsup2:]

As per the title, if anyone has a spare, smallish (around the Avenger and down?), LTI game package that they are thinking about jettisoning please let me know

Or, if you were thinking about upgrading the aforementioned package to a freelancer or more, and could manage with the ship-only option, then I have an LTI freelancer (upgraded from Herald) that could be used in some sort of part-exchange.

...the smaller your package the better :norty:

I have no idea if this is any use to you but my original pledge package (I have just the one) was a Origin Jumpworks 300i which was upgraded to a 325a, then to Cutlass Black and finally to a Freelancer Dur. However it is NOT and LTI package, so may be of no use to you.

Otherwise I wonder if you could melt it back down to a 300i swap me for your Freelancer package and we'd both end up with what we want. I've no idea if melting my pledge package would have an effect on my Alpha status access to SQ 42 etc. But if I end up where I am now with a Freelancer and you get your starter package 300i I'd be happy to help? I really don't know much about the whole pledge, melt, buyback process so none of this might be a workable option.

Maybe clever people could advise?

Sure, I have a few I could buy back for you. My buy-back shop is remarkably well stocked. Did you have anything specific in mind?

Thanks for the replies chaps :thumbsup2:

Smilo - my LTI Freelancer is ship-only so you'd need to have a separate game package? Plus my goal is to replace my existing non-LTI package with an LTI one :flirty:

Justin - The package I'm aiming at would probably be an LTI Avenger package, but really something small that is upgradeable might be better as I will likely want to melt my old non-LTI package for credit if it's trickier to sell than the standalone LTI freelancer. If you could PM me broadly what you have in the low-end of your well stocked buyback section that'd be excellent

It sounds like you might face the same sort of dilemma as me. If you want to swap your non-LTI package for an LTI one then you will need to buy an LTI package (not ship-only) from someone and then upgrade (if necessary) that to the ship you want to start the game with. As your existing package is non-LTI it could be tricky to sell ...unless the upcoming S42/SC split creates demand of course! The other option once you have an LTI package of some sort is to melt your old non-LTI package for credits and to use those credits to upgrade your new LTI package. All a bit of a faff

I don't know how useful LTI will be, but it was too shiny to resist for me :flirty:

I have no LTI packages, but that's not a real problem, I'm not especially looking for LTI. I thought you might be able to melt my package down to the starter ship you wanted and you have lots of credit left over and I would still have a Freelancer. Good you got sorted though.
