Cult Citizen

[icycalm]

Not sure if the pack would be good for an org. All the ships would be tied to one account, so refueling, rearming, repairing etc. would be tricky. On the other hand, if the org had mostly players who didn't want to pay cash for anything, then a wealthy org leader could just buy the pack for himself and hand the ships out as an inferior substitute.

I bought a Fury and a Fury MX. Initially I had thought to buy a pack, but then I realized a pack gives you only one bonus jacket whilst saving you only $5. So I think an extra jacket is certainly worth $5, and if I was buying 12 of these ships, I would have gone for the 12 jackets. Can probably make quite a bit of the investment back by selling off 11 of them in the grey market a few months down the line.

I am thinking of buying another couple of these ships, but it's a tricky month for me as I am spending quite a lot on roleplaying stuff (Fantasy Grounds DLC, Paizo PDFs, and even Hero Forge minis), so I am trying to keep costs sensible. Besides, we should see some cool concept ship unveiled later in the month that I may take an interest in, plus keep in mind that every day there's a new Warbond CCU to grab. So I'll save my wallet for now and re-evaluate over the coming days. I will probably end up with a couple more of these by the end of the show though.

[ExiledOne]

I bought a Mule.

[ysignal]

I bought a Hammerhead, Sabre, Super Hornet, Terrapin, Defender, Razor EX, Fury, Fury MX (all cash). I also have a new loaner Super Hornet from the Terrapin.

[icycalm]

Fantastic! Was that a package? It’s quite an idiosyncratic collection of ships, I wonder what attracted you to the Defender.

The Hammerhead is in my spec so I’ll be borrowing it from you for missions. Good thing you bought it for yourself since I can just have you flying it. It will be my command center in space missions. It’s the biggest warship in the game currently given that the 890J and Carrack aren’t warships. I wonder how a fully-crewed Hammerhead would fare against a swarm of Furys. I suppose it would depend on the size of the swarm.

[ysignal]

I got the Escort Pack: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... scort-Pack

I CCU'd the Gladius into a Razor EX. I didn't want the Defender, but I'll just CCU it into something else later. I might do the same with the Terrapin as well. The Furys I bought in a 2-pack.

[ysignal]

I forgot that I bought the Dragonfly in cash today as well.

[ChevRage]

Bought a Fury and Fury MX with cash.

I still have the Super Hornet, but I've lost all the ground vehicles.

[ChevRage]

Bought a Cutlass Black with cash. I plan on upgrading it to something else later, but I need something to carry a Fury.

And since I didn't do it earlier, since I must've missed the post with the original instructions somehow, here's my updated fleet:

CULTxChevRage: Aurora MR, Cutter, Avenger Titan, Fury, Fury MX, C8R Pisces, Cutlass Black, F7C-M Super Hornet

[ysignal]

I upgraded my Defender to an Ares Inferno.

[Adjudicator]

I have bought 2 each of the Fury and Fury MX.

I have also checked my ground vehicles and confirm that I still retain the Anvil Ballista and the Tumbril Cyclone MT purchased with aUEC.

[icycalm]

We now have 14 Furys so from the next mission we’ll endeavor to bring along 2 Carracks so we can carry 12 of them. Eventually I can see us bringing all 3 of our Carracks with 18 Furys. And when I get my Carrack too, that’s 4 Carracks with 24 Furys, plus 16 Cyclone MTs, or a mix of Cyclones and Mules.

Ultimately we want to be bringing along as much of our fleet as possible on every big mission so that we can have a ton of hardware to choose from and throw at the enemy. So it’s a logistical problem to figure out how to transport the fleet most efficiently.


P.S. If our little clan has bought 14 Furys and counting, imagine how many CIG must be selling right now. I saw someone on Reddit call the game Store Citizen lol.

[icycalm]

ysignal bought his Super Hornet with cash, so we have all the officer fighters. Chev lost his Nova through the 3.19 fleet bug though, so we need to buy that back. Moreover, 3.19 killed all the Gladius loaners (which honestly I am happy with as they were unearned), so we need to get those back for Exiled and Rory. And finally, everyone needs to have a ship with a bed in case they want to join the base, so Rory needs an Aurora MR like Exiled already has. This is probably the best order to get them:

1. Some guy: Aurora MR
2. ChevRage: Nova
3. ExiledOne, Some guy: Gladius

AFTER all that's bought, we need all the mining vehicles for clone 2, in this order:

INDUSTRIAL -> CULTCLONE-2
ROC 172,000 aUEC
ROC-DS 176,500 aUEC
Nomad 952,800 aUEC
Prospector 2,061,000 aUEC

So that's the plan for the next few days/weeks.

[ysignal]

Upgraded my Terrapin to a Retaliator Bomber.

[icycalm]

Nice! I see us showing up at the next XenoThreat with me and recoil in the Hammerhead flanked by you and Chev in the Retaliators, and everyone else buzzing around us in their Gladiuses. The Hammerhead can also take a couple of Furys, so if needed recoil and I can join the fray in the later stages.

[recoil]

I bought the Warbond Fury Quad Pack with the paints: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pled ... LW-Warbond

[ysignal]

I bought a Redeemer and a 400i (cash). To get the 400i I bought a Constellation Andromeda from the pledge store and upgraded it using a grey market CCU.

[shubn]

Bought a Constellation Phoenix (cashmoney). It comes with a Lynx and a P-72 Archimedes.

[icycalm]

Bought a Storm and two more Furys (again a regular and an MX one), all three of them with their Concierge paints and all three with ca$$$hmoney. The extra two Furys will make excellent LTI tokens later in the year.

There is also a cool Ursa + Lynx LTI pack that I considered, but both these rovers also come packaged with large ships that I plan to buy, so I don't see the point of getting the rovers as standalones. Even as LTI tokens they aren't as good as the Furys because they cost $5 more.

Meanwhile I considered trying to get a Constellation Phoenix like shubn, but a Carrack makes much more sense for me right now so I'll save my money for that for later in the year. I am glad shubn grabbed one for the org and I look forward to being flown around in it and chauffeured in its Lynx. Both vehicles look terrific, and even better paired together. They are a luxury touring combo that can accommodate 3-4 crew with "a luxury master bedroom, 2 guest rooms and a hot tub". It has a bar that was replicated in reality in CIG's new Manchester offices for the Star Citizen YouTube and Twitch shows, and even a piano that can apparently play some Beethoven I think it is. The Phoenix is time-limited AND stock-limited even DURING Invictus, that's why shubn was celebrating on Discord for having bagged one. The next and final chance to get one is today at 8 AM UTC, so about a couple hours from now, if anyone is interested. It's $350 and comes with the Lynx and snub (10-year insurance instead of LTI tho). But org-wise we're good with just shubn's, we don't particularly need more of these. If you have to have it though, you have to have it, and I'll likely grab one this time next year.



Note that I now have a Nova loaner due to the Storm. I was meaning to buy one with aUEC, so that saved me a bit of work.

[Adjudicator]

Using stockpiled ship upgrades from IAE 2952 and Invictus 2953, I have added an Eclipse to my account.

I have also purchased a Storm and a Lynx.

As the Storm is still in concept, a Nova loaner is provided to my main account.

[icycalm]

Excellent, we can use an Eclipse in almost all events, even in Ghost Hollow. And when shubn gets his, we’ll have two.

[recoil]

I bought a Storm, two Furys and a Fury MX straight up cashmoney. I'm going to use the Furys as LTI tokens.

[ChevRage]

I bought a Storm with cash.

[shubn]

Bought another Fury and Fury MX with cash.
