IronGun007 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Anniversary sale! The time where your wallet and wife cry in agony as you give away the money you saved up for food and presents away to the all mighty Chris Overlord. I know you all are guilty of having bought or CCUd something. Tell me. I melted my Redeemer to purchase an LTI Crucible - 100$ I CCUd my LTI Sabre to a LTI Carrack - Around 80$ and last but not least I CCUd my Vanguard Warden to a Merchantman - 0$ The only 2 things left in my hangar that haven't changed are my Super Hornet and my Conni Pheonix. petrvs, Switch and Capt.Jack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draegar Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 For me it was "The Big Melt" in order to protect the endangered species of wallets. (I heard wallets are on the red list now so we should do our best to keep at least a few of them alive) All in all I melted my Carrack, my Endeavor Master Set, my Hull-E, my BMM with 2yrs insurance, my Retaliator, my Weekend Warrior, my Starfarer, my Mustang Delta and my X'An Scout to buy the Armada pack and the CCU´s for the BMM, Orion, Carrack and Hull-C and all other $0 CCU´s. My wallet took a hit of about $100 which it fortunately survived. Only the 890 jump, physical Rear Admiral Phoenix and M50 remained untouched.

Rellim Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Melt for me too. Melted the GamesCom Glaive. I was tired of having to create the 20th reddit topic trying to sell my glaive. Nobody wants it. So with that store credit I ccu'd a previously purchased HullA into a Sabre, so it has LTI And with the remaining credit I purchased a Retaliator with two modules. Got about 40 dollars in store credit left now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once they start working on the viability of ramming ships with blades the Glaive will be desired but until then, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I ended up picking up: The Armada Pack To the Stars Explorer Pack Speed Demon Package Anvil Crucible LTI Five (5) P-72 Archimedes Two (2) Star Citizen Starter Packages P-72 Archimedes -> Constellation Andromeda CCU (I will use my long saved Connie Phoenix Upgrade on it) I did a little house cleaning to pick them all up, guess I'll have to edit my Signature as well now =/ I'll list what I had to do a little later when the boss isn't watching...

VoA Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I actually gained MANY extra ships without paying anything extra with this sale I literally melted my entire pledge to get these packages (even an extra Idris-P that I picked up last year) [except for my 890 Jump] and ended up with more ships than I had before the sale. Now I have 4 packages... (CCUing the ships that I didn't need... to get the ones not in the packs) Armada Pack Explorer Pack Blue Collar Pack Transporter Pack Really Pleased with Current Hangar (and was able to get more ships all with LTI for less $) AstroJak, petrvs and Rocket Man 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrvs Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I have no idea how but I burned my entire November wage, I have all I need now however. This was a great sale. Spaceships are definitely a very expensive hobby. Thank god I am a grown up with a serious job and stuff... LOL ANYWAY: The moment you realise you can get the explorers pack for "just" 300$ more if you melt all the stuff that goes into that pack. And the moment you decide to buy 2 Sabre because NPC escort and one additional Khartu-AL because again badass wingman formation opportunities The moment you daydream exactly how you will play out YOUR gameplay in space and decide you will be an explorer/salvager/pioneer and buy a Reclaimer, and then you also think you might need a Caterpillar just in case. Besides, it looks totally amazing. Asimmetry FTW. The moment you buy a Retaliator bomber because TORPEDOES. The moment you get a CCU chain for future use ANDROMEDA>GEMINI>STARLINER and it feels damn right, you aint missing on that 400$ ship and only spening one third. BARGAIN. The moment they put game packages at 30$ and you have to buy at least two because THE FUTURE The moment you get those 8 Archimedes as LTI reserves because NEW SHIPS TOMORROW Oh, you obviously need a Banu Merchantman because LIFESTYLE .. . The moment you cancel all your upcoming dinners / appointments / cinemas whatever and start preparing meals to bring at work because there ain't any left and your only hope is a yellow PTU enabled text in "my account" . It feels great. Leonn and AstroJak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danakar Endeel Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Nothing overly special for me. Just melted a Craptaliator module and one of my Avengers in order to pick up 3 P72s for use as convenientLTI tokens should I have need of them.

The way they structured the savings with these packages it doesn't make sense to CCU up P72s....... rather melt everything you have - get the Combo Packages... and CCU those as needed = Saves you $, get extra UEC, extra package slot, etc...

ZomoZ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Day one buy 3 P72s Day 5? CCU Hull E from a p72 ccu Day 6 Buy 3 extra starter packages Day 7 beak down, melt entire inventory (including orion and superhornet Hull E and P72s), but not including starter packages Then Buy Transporter Package, and move some ships around in there Sad I blew over a grand this sale when I have managed to keep it around 550 for the last two year of sales combined The video and progress of the game finally warranted me to invest more, and I have made worse investments by far in the video game world lol It is a good thing I just got about a 20% Raise to my salary because I passed my boards and am certified now... My ending this year will look like 3 starter packages for spare accounts Hull A and B ships for CCU tokens for future use Hull C (May CCU to banu, or keep) Hull D (CCU to Orion) Hull E (Gotta keep this beast) Freelancer MISC (CCU to starfaerer) Constellation Phoenix petrvs, Leonn and AstroJak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danredda Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 My wallet was already murdered, but TBH I didn't get much. 4 Archimedes and a Aquila to Genesis upgrade for later. I already have everything else that I want for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juntau Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Well, at least I'm not alone here. I too melted everything in my inventory (except the 890), bought a Fleet Pack and CCU'd from there. Many of the CCU's were zero dollars like @VoA said. So I too ended up with way more inventory than I previously had with only $160 OUT OF POCKET! $6,585.00 USD TOTAL SPENT After giving away close to $2000 worth of RSI ships and paraphernalia on The Base Radio over the last year or so, I'm very happy I was able to take this route to replenish my hangar. The moral of the story is, if you have the ability to do this melt/purchase a package/CCU tactic, it seems to make a lot of sense to do so.

L@neWolf Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 A lot of transactions, zero cash, a few new ships. All ships now LTI, but for one package. All-in-all a good week, while maintaining my pledge to not pledge. Subject as always to any new offerings, which may come down the pipeline. I am an addict after-all!

Nope, I already have all the ships I want and none of the packages available seemed able to provide me with a means to get my collection back after I melt them and still retain LTI. All it would probably do is just give me a headache. The 3 P72 tokens I just got because I had the spare store credit and to give me a safety net in case I need them. If I were to melt everything I'd probably just mess something up and end up with one giant package that I can't do anything with. I'm also not spending any more cash now that I have to deal with VAT so I'm just shuffling my extra store credit around. Now the only ship that might cause me to melt a lot of my 'meh' ships and pay a tiny bit of new cash would be if CIG were to create an Aegis Corvette. But at present time I'm good to go and basically just waiting for the game to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved $385 melting all my ships (which were LTI) except for my 890 Jump (kept that one since I couldn't CCU to it).... and ended up with all LTI ships by going with 4 packages instead of solo concept ships. A headache might be worth $385 + 80k UEC + 4 character slots (via a package).... just trying to save ya from regretting the opportunity while it is still here (today and tomorrow) - but to each their own. Remember you can CCU the LTI ships within the packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the concern, although my savings would be nowhere near that amount of cash as I only have around 1600 worth of ships with $350 already locked into 2 game packages (Avenger and Redeemer). So my choices of packages would be limited to $1250 which is only the Blue Collar or Battle Pack and those only seemed to contain either several $300+ ships or way too many small ships. Maybe I'll melt a P72 + 2 Gladius fighters and ccu one of my 3 Sabres up to a Reclaimer though; just to have it again. Kemalis and VoA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daHawk Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Just a P-72 and a Reliant. Was thinking about getting a Banu MM or Caterpillar but i postponed that because i was not able to join the PTU test. I wanted to see what progress they made before throwing another 200-500€ at the screen. Im sure i can get them later. Did not melt anything after making some spreadsheets... was not worth it for my personal fleet setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
