News: Nov 26th Livestream

Nov 26th Livestream & Banu/Xi'an sale info

Ok so RSi will be hosting a livestream on Tuesday the 26th (1 week from this post) at 11 Am PST (2 Pm EST) it will go on for 4 hours and include glimpses of new ships and the opportunity to buy the Idris-P and the Alien ships.

So I invite those not at work (or in some cases at work) to tune and and join me on teamspeak to just be social and talk about all the cool goodies we are likely to see.


I personally plan to head into work real early the 26th so I can jet out and be home at or near the start time at 2 PM.

 

So the new ships are up for sale

The Banu comes in at $250

the Xi'an at $150

Well I now own both, had to dump my 350R and now to slowly save up for the

Anvil Carrack – The Anvil Carrack has been the vanguard of every UEE exploration effort in recent years. Featuring reinforced fuel tanks for long-duration flight, a highly advanced jump drive array and a dedicated computer core room that allows it to put the maximum processing power into jump charting operations. Originally a military exclusive, the Carrack is now available for civilian use as a pathfinder spacecraft. Features on-board accommodations to allow for truly self-sufficient flight, including crew medical and repair facilities, and a mapping-oriented sensor suite capable of always charting a route home!

So between my banu and the 3 StarFarers we have, I think we are pretty set on moving supplies.

 

How much are the selling them to the Vet and OBs?

 

@ Scrub, I would go with the scout if I were you, you already have the StarFarer and the Banu would be redundant and doesn't have the added capacity to harvest and refine fuel.




Also it is worth noting that it is the general consensus that the shot the Banu of from the rear of the ship, guess we will know better later.

 

Well there is only a 15ton difference in cargo cap, but the Banu has twice the crew compliment, so It could make up the size just base don crew quarters.

 

Spend only what your comfortable spending lol, I don't want to push anyone acquiring any debt they really shouldn't


Your kind of working your way into an alt-aholic I would hate for you to end up with so many ships that the lot of them just gather dust. I am preferring the model of lesser ships that I can focus my income into for overclocks and improvements, to many ships will force me to spread my wealth out to much and I end up with a bunch of subpar ships.
