Juggling Ships
With the current sale on Star Citizen I have been adjusting my ships for better insurance and just to see my accounts look clean. This has allowed me the opportunity to rethink which ships I will want in game and which style of play I believe I will be in to longer term.
Though it's hard to know for certain, I suspect I will lean towards a fair amount of independent play as a Pirate, Smuggler and potentially some mining or salvage. So what ships do I need?
Initially I had a Freelancer Misc, Vanguard Warden & a Hornet Ghost.
Move #1
Sold the Freelancer - Decent ship with lots of potential, but I didn't really love flying it. I needed extra crew to use it effectively, and now you will be unable to fit a dragonfly in the cargo hold as it stands which is a bit of a deal breaker for me at this point.
Move #2
Sold the Hornet Ghost - Yikes! my favorite ship for combat and I love it for stealth potential (not yet implemented in game). Unfortunately the advantages offered by the Super Hornet for accumulating REC and credits out weight that for me. I also knew that I wanted the longer insurance so the sale was the perfect timing
Move #3
Sold the Vanguard Warden and repurchased it with longer insurance. simple moved unfortunately my account was also included with this one so I currently am Unable to play star citizen till I buy my last ship package. Should be on the 1st of December for the starter package sale I expect.
Move #4
Bought an LTI Anvil Hawk Concept Ship, This move was for a few reasons - Firstly, I like the ship and Bounty Hunting might be fun longer term. Secondly if I decided I don't love it in game I can always upgrade it and keep the LTI, at least as the rules stand.
Move #5
Not sure yet, Here are my thoughts
I need a starter package still and I am toying with a Cutlass Black for Piracy.
I'd still like a Dragonfly Black for burning around quickly - there is some merit to the Nox but it doesn't have any cargo space or room for a second person if need be,
I still want a stealth ship of some sort - The Saber Raven might be on my radar for this purpose.
new concept ships due out today, who knows what that will be? anyway interesting times:)
