Looks like I was right about unique chasis...

    This is something I had guessed a while back, but weren't sure of til now:

    In wingman's hanger Rob answered a question about upgrading stock models to variants. In the answer he says that hardpoints for weapons, engines, seats, and thrusters are not changeable eg... the Aurora LN, 350r and super hornet are unique ships and can't be gained by retrofitting base models of aurora, 300i or hornet.

    Just info to keep in mind when deciding what ships to settle on by the 26th

    Can you buy a 350R in the game once everything goes live/beta? I mean, it takes some of the urgency away if you know you can get it in game, and you feel you can wait.. Then it's only a matter of what specialty ship would you like to start with..

    They said every ship that you can purchase can be obtainable ingame. Also the 350r should be up for sale before the 26th.

    However caveat that with, once the game goes live, you can no longer purchase ships directly for real world cash, you can however buy ingame credits with cash (with certain limitations) and the ships will be worth 3x their current value once the game goes live. So if you want a deal you pledge.

    So if 1000 credits is $1, then a ship that's $100 now will be 300,000 credits, probably subject to change, which will make an Idris 3-4 million credits to buy, subject to change..

    I'd like a 350R for giggles, but I don't want to pay $$ for it, I'd rather just get to it eventually in game..

    Wonder how long CR imagines it'll take people playing decently to purchase ships like a 300i in game once it goes live.. Shouldn't be too easy, but if its too hard, might be discouraging..

    Which means that if we can get our foot in the door early in manufacturing these ships, we may have a sizable demand for them.

    I thought I read somewhere that we wont be manufacturing actual ships, just equipment gear, etc.. I could be wrong though..

    I think guild wise we could be manufacturing equipment for our ships and for sale, and what we need to get one built for us, but I thought we had to "order" ships probably from the manufacturer in game?

    Interesting point someone made on the forums about how large ships will be acquired.. Since Aegis Dynamics wont be churning out Idris' (for example) at the same rate as say Avengers (i.e. single large ships more time consuming to manufacture than fleets of smaller ones), there will likely be the potential for a supply/demand issue with acquiring anything large/rare. You could likely end up on a waiting list for something decent..

    Might be a good idea at some point to prioritize personal ship wants, as well as what the corporation as a whole may want to shoot for.. Don't wait too too long to try and acquire certain things once in the game.
