I tried it with Track IR and couldn't get it as quick and accurate as a mouse. Aiming with your head is not fine motor skills like using your wrist. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I'm alive. Just moved into a new house finally after having the shottiest internet known to man for 7 months. As Rubic said we've started doing some squadron stuff in game. We'd love to have everyone in here come by Teamspeak and get a few rounds in.

I watched a negative nelly video on Youtube that brought up the concern that corps are going to conquer and carve out parts of the
PU for themselves and a privateer wont be able to move without being extorted or 'gang raped' at every turn. Would the "privacy slider" allow you to pass thru a controlled sector unnoticed? |

Assuming a pilot chooses to chance it and make the run. The wormhole exits should be large enough to give your sensors space to work, with the ideal situation being you can detect the potential attackers and evade as needed. But there will be the counter of someone in a stealth ship sneaking up on you and disabling your avionics via Suckerpunches or similar weapons. Kharn |

So it sounds like the ship sale will ONLY be during the event, with sales starting around 9am PST and running till around 2 if I did my time zone conversion from Germany to PST right.
Doors open at 5 PM local time for Subscribers and Concierge members and 6 PM for all other backers. These ships will also be available online during the event for those that can not attend. Estimated prices based on the last sale, but will probably be about $25-50 higher as CIG has stated that repeat ship sales will increase price.: Aegis Retaliator - $275 Anvil Carrack - $350 Drake Caterpillar - $225 RSI Orion - $325 Aegis Reclaimer - $350 Khartu-al (Xi’an Scout) - $150 Banu Merchantman - $250 Edit: Okay this kind of burns my ass a little. No consideration about other time zones, just a 'if you miss it, fuck off' basically. Considering I have my Gemini, I'm probably going to pass on this sale. Wouldn't mind a Carrack, but can get it in the PU. CIG Disco Lando | DiscoLando-CIG said: [source] Additional Info: Concierge/Subscribers are getting into the event an hour early and therefore the store an hour early. All folks attending the event will get an opportunity to buy ships in the Concierge Store. All announced ships come with 2-Year Insurance. Announced ships will be available to all Citizens via the website DURING the event. Prices will be very similar or the same as they were when they were first sold (before applicable taxes like VAT.) The exact duration of the sale will cover slightly before and after the Ewerk event. (Think 16:00 GMT to 22:00 GMT on August 7th, but TIMES ARE NOT FINAL.) These are individual ship sales and not packages. These are not CCU sales, as they are not being added to Arena Commander at this time. Quoted:

I'd pick me up a Reclaimer, but since it's not rendered yet, I wouldn't be able to live in it, having spent the rent money and being homeless and all.
It does look like the Caterpillar is $20 off of what Mine cost, though. |

Ok. So I own the 105 dollar Gladius, which is a Fighter. Right?
You guys know WAY more about Star Citizen than I do. What should I buy now? I'm thinking 300 dollars will be my limit. I'm thinking of kinda a multi-role ship? I'm not looking to spend 1,000s of actual dollars on this game when it's all said and down. I think 500-600 will be my max, ever, for ships at least. A few weeks ago, I was thinking of picking up a Constellation Andromeda because of the "multi-role" the game describes it being. That whole smuggling thing sounded like alot of fun, but I don't want just a cargo ship, I want to be a cargo ship that is formidable. Just seeing what your guys thoughts are? If any opinions have changed. |

View Quote There are two types of limited sales: Limited quantity and limited duration. So far only there have only been a handful of limited quantity ships (the Scythe and Idris most notably) the rest have been limited duration. The limited duration ships have typically been on sale for about a week at at time. I thought you had to pick up the ships for sale at GamesCon in Cologne but I may be wrong. Even if it's not available to purchase here then based on past experience the Retaliator should be available for sale when it goes flight ready which would be Soon (tm) when Arena Commander 2.0 goes live. |

They've gotten the 64 bit maps completed or near enough that it doesn't matter and I was under the impression that was the one thing keeping multi-crew from working properly. Either way, from what I've read from various news outlets reporting on Gamescon, some press has already seen all or a portion of the demo and THEY are saying we don't want to miss it. I'm pumped! |
