Hey guys! As some of you know, if you purchase a ship upgrade during the sale it does not change the insurance included. (For instance, if I purchase a Hornet Tracker upgrade today as part of the sale, I can make my ship into a Tracker... but I will still have six month insurance instead of two year insurance.) First of all, that is NOT intentional. It has to do with how the upgrade process works, which we will correct for future sales. And we will be making things right for everyone who purchased an upgrade this time around, too.

Here's the plan: on or about December 10th, we will run a script which changes the insurance for any upgraded package from the sale. This will change the insurance from six months to two years, and everything will be right again! What you need to know is that because of how the process works, you must have APPLIED the upgrade before we run the script, or we won't have a way to change it (that's why we're giving it a week past the sale before processing.)

So in summary: if you purchased an upgrade during the sale hoping to change your package or ship to two year insurance, please make sure to apply the upgrade before December 10th. If you upgraded a ship that had LTI, your insurance will not change.

I'm still wondering if this is only meant for upgrades that are upgrades for only the anniversary items (i.e. upgrades for the MIS, M50, etc...) or ALL upgrades in general. The way he worded it makes it sound like ALL upgrades purchased, but that doesn't make sense to me.

I just melted my Cutlass Blue Package and repurchased with 2 year insurance. You lose the ability to gift when yo use melted credits, but I decided this was not of any consequence to myself.

 

I did the same. If you intend on keeping it, melt and upgrade ha.

Good to know thanks lonewolf!

 

I`m considering now the $50 spent on the blue upgrade would actually be better spent else where - invested in another ship.... Man... to many things I want to buy! =D

Based on the Original post by Ben and linked here by @VoA, it was brought up in another thread and I thought I would mention it here.  If you purchased the $20 Starter Package Aurora MR and then upgrade it with a $5 LX upgrade via the Anniversary Sale post; it will get the automatic 2 Year insurance if it is applied prior to December 10th.  So, in summary, if you spent $25 dollars you can get a full game package and Aurora LX with 2 year insurance.  This is a great deal.
