Cult Citizen

[icycalm]

Melted my 2949 BIS Reclaimer for credits with which to buy all the old BIS paint packs that are available for a limited time [ > ].

[shubn]

I upgraded a Pulse to a Perseus, a Cutter Rambler to a Clipper, an ATLS to an Asgard, and an ATLS GEO to a Gladiator.

[Adjudicator]

Wow Adjudicator, terrific purchases. I won't even ask why 3x Salvations between 2 characters. I am sure you have your reasons.

My reason for the multiple Salvations: Game packages with a coupled Lifetime Insurance ship are very uncommon AND each account can only possess one of that stock keeping unit (SKU), so I decided to stash a few, as I regret not buying more IAE 2952 (2022) LTI Cutter game packages and standalone OC LTI Cutters.

My main account has one Salvation LTI game package AND a standalone LTI Salvation with Concierge paint bundle, and CULTCLONE-2 has the Salvation LTI game package.

Do your Shiv and Stinger include the Meridian paint btw? shubn's and ysignal's/recoil's do. I just want to know how many of those paints we have, as they're useful for pirate ops.

As for the Shiv and Stinger in my main account, yes, they are the CitizenCon ones with the Meridian paint and the Concierge paints (Deathstalker for Stinger, Earthquake for Shiv) included.

The Shiv, Stinger and L-21 Wolf were originally not meant to be actively used by my account. They were bought as a means to reaccumulate store credit for next year's Luminalia subscription deal and create the Original Concept (OC) LTI pledges in my buy backs.

As these ships are not my preference (especially the Shiv and Stinger, neither of which fits inside my Idris hangar), and may be melted to raise store credit, I thought not to to declare them until I had a conversation with shubn and he strongly recommended I declare them so that the CULT org can benefit from them when I am online.

Also, after some more account referrals and checking my fleet, I have more ships to declare:

Main character:

Referral reward: Dragonfly Star Kitten

Pledged ships (open for sale): 2x Paladin + Shadowfall paint

CULTCLONE-2:

Referral reward: Dragonfly Star Kitten

[shubn]

I bought a Golem OX.

[icycalm]

Upgraded my Cutlass Black to a Clipper for $25. It'll almost certainly end up among the four 2956 Best in Show ships, so I would have to upgrade to it anyway by year's end. So why not upgrade now and get to enjoy it also during its Pledge Store exclusivity period?

Looking forward to solo ops with it, it's freakin' gorgeous and super-well designed.

[shubn]

I melted my Starlancer MAX and bought a Hermes with the store credit. I like the MAX, but I can always apply my CCU chain for it if I want it back. Plus, both Starlancers can be bought in-game now.

I've also acquired the following from Wikelo:

Aegis Sabre Peregrine Wikelo Speedy Special
Aopoa Nox Wikelo Special
Drake Golem Wikelo Work Special
Kruger L-21 Wolf Wikelo Sneak Special
Mirai Pulse Wikelo Special

[Some guy]

I bought a Mirai Pulse with aUEC.

[shubn]

I bought a Mantis with aUEC.

[shubn]

I bought a MOLE, 125a and Aurora LN with aUEC, and got a HoverQuad referral bonus.

[recoil]

I bought an 890 Jump with aUEC.

[shubn]

I bought an Aurora Mk I SE and an Aurora Mk II plus Modules (and all the paints for both).

[icycalm]

Upgraded my Fury MX to an Aurora Mk I SE because it's limited edition and who knows if/when it'll be available again, plus my pirate paint now works for it so it's a perfect pirate starter ship seeing as it can do what all the old Auroras can do put together? Not sure how that works, but that's how it sounds that it works, and it was only a fiver in credit, so I went ahead and did it.


Pic is a standard Aurora, I think, taken before upgrade

[recoil]

I did a similar upgrade from a Fury to the Aurora Mk I SE.

[Adjudicator]

Obtained the following for my accounts:

Main account and CULTCLONE-2: Aurora Mk II, Aurora Mk I SE, UTV

CULTCLONE-6: Aurora Mk II, Aurora Mk I SE

[icycalm]

Upgraded one of my Pulses to the UTV. Note that this will now be standard for Cult Contractors, along with the STV, but I haven't yet published full lists of vehicles for the Contractors. It's a lot of work, and I plan to do it. Just giving a quick heads-up for now.

[ysignal]

Upgraded my Aurora Mk I LN to an Aurora Mk II and my Freelancer DUR to a Hull B. Also picked up a UTV and an Aurora Mk II Cargo Module.

[shubn]

I upgraded my Hermes to a Hull B, bought another Aurora Mk I SE as LTI token, and a couple of UTVs.

I also got the following from Wikelo: an ATLS IKTI, eight ATLS GEO IKTIs, and an L-21 Wolf Wikelo War Special.

[icycalm]

So all those IKTIs are showing up in your ASOP? Or you just keep them in local storage?

If they are in your ASOP they can be easily loaned out to people and we basically have a full mech squad if we want it. It's not even that important for other people to earn IKTIs in that case as long as you're in the game.


P.S. I got a panic attack when I read you upgraded your Hermes because I confused it with the Apollo.

[shubn]

Yes, the IKTIs are showing up in my ASOP. You only really need one since currently you can just claim it and get as many as you want out, but I made enough to get my rep up with Wikelo to make the military Wolf that comes with the Antium Midnight Sun armor (the gold one).

The Hermes (now Hull B) is my "use store credit to play with the new toy" ship. If I want the Hermes or Hull B for realz, I'll just make a CCU chain. The Apollo is safe.

[shubn]

I bought the following with aUEC: Avenger Warlock, Ballista, Spartan, Centurion, MPUV Tractor, Hull A, Hull C, Ursa, Cyclone AA, Cyclone RN, Cyclone TR, Cyclone MT, Nova.

[icycalm]

Upgraded MDC to Pitbull because MDC is in shops now and costs nothing, and the Pitbull is incredible. It can fit into practically anything and turn even a Cutlass into a carrier!

[icycalm]

Upgraded Guardian MX to M80. I'll buy the MX in the game, it's only 7.4M.

[icycalm]

Upgraded my Cutter Scout to the Starlite. I look forward to running some refueling contracts and getting some experience with the system now that I've seen how well it works when I request refueling from NPCs. And eventually I'll move up to the Starfarer Gemini.
