Bought this armor from the official store for €12.25:

Gear - CCC Aves Armor and Helmet Set
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... Helmet-Set

Image

The design borrows cues from an alien race, the Tevarin.

To tie into the release of Esperia’s Tevarin recreations, CC’s Conversions has taken a well-known silhouette and given it a Tevarin-inspired twist. Though the Aves helmet references the Tevarin’s use of structural latticework in their vehicles, it’ll look the part in any ship or teamed with any armor set.


I plan to use this set for my crimestat missions and piracy. The alien/evil look will go well with unlawful activities, and the red accents should match the pirate ship skins' red accents [ > ].

There's only one problem with it. When you buy it, it's placed in your inventory, but when you lose it, it's gone—not from your account, but from your inventory. And there is no way to get it in-game again. CIG plans to add a way, but they haven't implemented it yet. Until then, you have two ways of getting it back: 1) Character reset, which wipes a bunch of stuff you don't want to wipe, or 2) So-called "melting" the item in your site profile for store credit and then repurchasing it. I will go the second route and report back with the results. As long as the process is quick and easy, I'll just keep doing it. As I said, I don't plan to use this armor on a daily basis, only in specific situations, so I don't mind the extra hassle to achieve the look I want.

I would like if everyone who goes out pirating with me has this armor. I could gift it to you, I don't mind. It's not a limited item anyway, it should always be in the store, so you have time to get it if you end up wanting to go pirating with me.

Meanwhile the regular clan outfits will be more traditionally militaristic-looking. I like this contrast, and the added variety it will bring to my activities in the game.

Actually, now that I've thought about it some more, it might be best to keep this armor for myself as the pirate leader, and we can find in the game suitable armor for the pirate troops. I'll look around and report back.

Rare items

Unread postby icycalm » 20 Aug 2023 13:30

I just bought a Banu cube for $50 from a guy off Reddit. What's a Banu cube? Officially it's called the Banu Lockbox Replica.

Image

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_tr ... e_for_banu

kurumi0w0 wrote:[WTS] Limited time sale-the lowest price for BANU CUBE code-$50 each!

As the title said, I have a lot (at least 10) codes want to sell and each one only asks $50.

But PLEASE NOTE: Those codes are NOT permanent. Once purchased, you will need to redeem the codes before 00:30 A.M. August 21, 2023 (UTC+8), so you have about 3 days to redeem them, and if the time is out, these codes will expire. I think this is something CIG came up with to prevent reselling and is the reason why these codes are priced relatively low.

kurumi0w0 wrote:Basically, it's a trinket. You can find it in your personal inventory and hold it in your hand to view it. But you can only get it by Barcitizen so it’s not very easy to collect.


Apparently it's in the form of a scratch card. You scratch for the code, and then enter it here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/redeem-code

To get one, you PM this guy on Reddit with your PayPal address, and he sends you an invoice that you pay. Then he gives you the code via PM. Note that the first code he sent me was invalid, but then I complained and he sent me a valid one. He says he's sold a lot of codes and he lost track. I got spooked there for a sec but he seems legit. His name is Jinyang Liu, if that matters... Don't come to me if he rips you off, I took a chance because the price was low.

You have less than a day to get this, if you want it...

In other rare item news, I heard that the latest Bar Citizen item is the Banu Tholo: https://starcitizen.tools/Tholo

Star Citizen Wiki wrote:Tholo is a small three-sided token representative of Cassa, the Banu patron of luck. It is commonly used as a decision-making device: ask a question, then roll the tholo to get a 'yes,' 'no' or (what roughly translates to) 'run' as an answer. It is also popular among human tourists as a small keepsake of their travels.

Tholo can be redeemed with codes from scratch cards from Bar Citizen events.


Image

This seems more useful to us. We could use it to make decisions on what type of mission to do on busy weekends.

The guy seems to have one of these codes for $150. I want one, but I have higher priorities right now. Plus I am a little spooked from the initial invalid code he sent me, and his name. That said, he seems to have good feedback on Reddit...

CitizenCon 2953 Digital Goodies Pack

CitizenCon 2953 Digital Goodies Pack: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm ... -Available

Image

CIG wrote:CitizenCon 2953 fast approaches! We know that not everyone is able to make it out to Los Angeles, California for the big show, but that doesn't mean you can't still get in the spirit. This year, we're introducing our largest Digital Goodies Pack to date, loaded with exclusive content to let the people of Stanton know you're ready for an expedition to Pyro.

This year's pack features all the same digital items that come with a ticket to CitizenCon 2953 including an exclusive paint for your Drake Dragonfly, matching undersuit and helmet, a ruinous shotgun, specially themed multitool with carrying case, gruesome relic compliments of the Headhunters gang, a challenge coin and plushie commemorating the legendary [REDACTED] ship, this year’s CitizenCon trophy, and of course a Pyro-centric Spectrum badge.

CitizenCon 2953 Digital Goodies Pack:

  • Frontier Undersuit
  • Frontier Helmet
  • CitizenCon 2953 Trophy
  • Outlaw Shotgun
  • Headhunter Gang Relic Collectible
  • Pyrotechnic Amalgamated Multitool & Case
  • [REDACTED] Ship Plushie
  • [REDACTED] Ship Challenge Coin
  • CitizenCon 2953 Dragonfly Paint
  • Pyrotechnic Amalgamated Spectrum Badge

We'll be building a handful of these items LIVE on the showfloor of CitizenCon with your input. For this reason, some items will be delivered later this year.


I bought this. It's $35 but included with the $199 ticket price. If I was recoil, I'd go (he lives nearby).

The items themselves don't look great, judging from the suit and helmet we can see. I'd say they're decent. They look good for NPCs, but not for PCs. But I still need to have them for collection purposes. I need to have as much SC stuff as I can afford, and I look forward to setting up a whole storage area with all my clothes in my apartment, or better yet a base we'll build somewhere. Right next to the garage, and the hangar, and so on.

What's great about this post though aren't the items but the fact that all of them are Pyro-themed AND the implication that Pyro's coming real soon ("let the people of Stanton know you're ready for an expedition to Pyro"). But I'll talk about this in another post in the main SC thread in a moment.

There's some drama here as well. Previous CitCon packs were much cheaper (like a third of the price almost), but they also had a third of the items. The last two packs were even free, but that's because the last two CitCons were virtual. You can read the community's whining about the price hike here, if you wish:

The price and content of the CitizenCon 2953 Digital Goodies Pack is a precedent and test for CIG and the Star Citizen community
https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/co ... encon_2953

Heaps of negativity, but that's par for the course for SC. I have more to say on the subject, but I'll do so at length in a "Videogame Art: Star Citizen" chapter.

Halloween 2023
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm ... oween-2023

CIG wrote:Until November 1, players have the chance to get the jolt of their lives when opening loot containers across Stanton. Find the coveted Vanduul, Hill Horror, and Fieldsbury Dark Bear helmets and add them to your creepy collection... if you survive the shock that is. What's more, players who manage to secure all nine horrific helmets (including both versions of Neville Lott and all six Dark Bear variants) will also earn a super scary Spectrum badge.


Image

So 9 helmets in all. And you keep them forever. Note that you can buy the 6 Dark Bear ones, but the other 3 can only be earned via this challenge.

I want all 9 and I'll try to get them. I've been on the road recently so haven't had an opportunity to play, but I'll be in a girl's home for most of next week, so as long as my Shadow works on her internet, I'll be playing and pinging people to go looting with me. We have until the end of the month to get everything, for those who are interested.

We'll be using these with the pirate specs btw. They won't be mandatory though. Get them if you like them, that's all.

My first instinct was to check bunkers, but it turns out you can find them at any outpost. I got I think 4 of them (plus 2 duplicates) after a few hours of visiting various mining and research outposts. Other locations like farms, shelters and derelict settlements probably also have them. I transfer them from the crates to the location's local storage, to keep them safe, so I don't fly around with a bunch of rare helmets. I can always get them later, using the NikNax mobiGlas app to check where I left them. Simply taking them out of a loot crate should be enough for them to be considered "looted", and permanently added to your hangar at a later time.

ExocetC3I wrote:Related, but the changes to ballistic player shotguns are pretty nice. If you're within about 5-10 metres of a target you'll likely knock down an enemy if you don't get a kill. Short range (less than 3m) is pretty much a guaranteed one shot kill against NPCs even with heavy armour.


Durgh wrote:I believe shotguns are going to shine in ship corridor fights to sweep off intruders. The R97 blasts ten cartridges out in a very short amount of time. That is a hell of an effective manstopper, without the risk of damaging your ship interior like with a grenade launcher.

Gemini Sniper Green Grey

Unread postby icycalm » 19 Mar 2024 17:16

Bought the Feeling Lucky? Avenger Titan Starter Pack for the Gemini Sniper Green Grey for my Medic as explained in the Cult Medic Update.

Image

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... ck-Warbond

I didn't have an Avenger Titan, so that will come in handy too, though I am not particularly happy it's not LTI. Makes no difference in the game right now though, and I'll buy an LTI one at some point too. So yeah, $56 gun skin, sue me. Could have been worse. Could have spent it on a Steam game I'd never play. At least I will use this.

Invictus Flight Jacket Steel

Unread postby icycalm » 26 May 2024 18:34

Image

Just a heads-up that this is offered with Ursa Medivac Warbond purchases, and it's not the same they've offered previously. The old one is regular (brown) leather, this is a new black one.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm ... sa-Medivac

Not sure if the offer will continue after Invictus. I got mine at any rate.

I think the reason for the offer is that tons of people will be melting something to buy the Medivac with credits, so they color-swapped the old jacket to entice more people to buy it with new cash. Why don't they do this with all vehicles? Because the Medivac is a cheapo vehicle that EVERYONE will want. The guy dropping hundreds/thousands of bucks on vehicles knows what he wants and what he's doing and can't be swayed by such a small thing, but the tens of thousands who only buy small stuff if anything might. It's a great strategy and shows you how much thought the marketing team is putting into this. They could have dropped this jacket into any of the new vehicles they're selling, but they dropped it surgically into the one where it'll make the most impact.

CitizenCon 2954 Digital Goodies Pack

Unread postby icycalm » 24 Sep 2024 00:18

CitizenCon 2954 Digital Goodies Pack Now Available!
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm ... -Available

Image

CitizenCon 2954 Digital Goodies Pack:

  • CitizenCon 2954 Trophy (Developed live at CitizenCon)
  • CitizenCon 2954 Challenge Coin
  • [REDACTED] Item 1 (Developed live at CitizenCon)
  • [REDACTED] Item 2 (Developed live at CitizenCon)
  • CitizenCon 2954 Themed Storage Chest
  • OMNI-AFS-Sapphire Armored Flight Suit
  • OMNI-AFS-Sapphire Helmet
  • P8-AR "CitizenCon 2954" Rifle (Single Fire)
  • P8-AR "Blackguard" Rifle (Single Fire)
  • CitizenCon 2954 Themed Double Bed
  • UEE Black Box
  • CitizenCon 2954 Themed Spectrum Badge

The main item is the armored flight suit, which I think is an olive palette-swap of the blue one in Squadron 42. Note that there's no flight suit in the game right now, and the Cult Spec currently uses undersuits as flight suits. So I'd love to be able to give this suit to people, but when CitizenCon finishes, this pack won't be available anymore, and the stuff in these packs are some of the few things that CIG has stated will never be available in the game in any way, shape or form. So I can't give this stuff to the lower ranks, and not even really to the high ranks, because how would a new player in the future get them?

So here's what we'll do. The flight suit is greenish/olive, so it'll go to ysignal if he wants it, since he's the green Commander. The blue P8 meanwhile will go to shubn since he's the blue Commander.

THAT SAID, everyone else who wants to can also use these items IF/WHEN THEY PLAY AS YSIGNAL'S OR SHUBN'S BODYGUARDS. I haven't yet explained how bodyguards will work, but basically they're an opportunity to use cool stuff that's exclusive to the Commanders, and help build a cool roleplaying scene while doing it. So anyone who buys this stuff will be able to use it, as long as you do some roleplaying with ysignal and shubn. I definitely will be doing this, and the more the merrier. Imagine half a dozen guys in these flight suits taking off in identical ships from our microTech hangar.

As for the black P8 rifle, any rank can use it as its second weapon, even Inquisitors, so grab it if you want it.

The double bed can also be used by everyone, and we can use it for Cult Bonding activities, if you know what I mean.

All the rest of the stuff can also be used by everyone. The chest/boxes sound very cool for keeping your stuff neat and categorized.

I think the pack is a great deal and I grabbed it, but don't worry about it if you don't feel like spending the money. My main wish is that ysignal and shubn buy it so they can further differentiate their loadouts, and for everyone else it's optional.

You CAN'T get this pack from the grey market as it's not giftable, and once CitizenCon is over the only way to get it is to buy someone else's account!

I also grabbed this a while ago, luckily. I missed the Pyro-themed one from last year, so I'm happy I was able to get this one.

I wonder why this one is giftable but the one from 2953 isn't.
