That might have done it
Cor blimey. Surprised that didn't get you a 10 year ban.
Is it the Raft or the R.A.F.T? Is this an Asp or an ASP thing?
Stands for Reinforced Advanced Freight Transport.
Me too...I get an insta-ban just for showing up most days. That's
Me...logging in to Spectrum.

Well, we have been saying it for years. CR needs to be banned from watching any films because the next day he will rush into the office to explain the brilliant idea he's just had and it needs to be used for marketing or in game.
Downvote brigade are tying their best to get this terrible FUD hidden. Imagine if new players see it! They might start asking questions about CIG's sales tactics!
Is that the Star Citizen equivalent of towing a Peugeot 108 behind your Winnebago ?
I bought one, melted it 24 hours later...but not because it's broken.... but because it's now in my buybacks at the release price with 10 years IAE insurance and I got the store credit back to spend on something else. So far I've bought 7 or 8 ships and a variety of CCU upgrades, melted them after 24 hours just to pad out the buyback list with decent options as well as generating more store credit through CCU'ing a couple of older standalone ships with less than 10 years insurance, melting them, then buying the same ships but now with the 120 month IAE standard insurance...
With all the melting and ship shuffling, I still have a couple more ships than I started with before the sale...but I also have almost a grand ($760 in credit plus a $250 400i CCU token) in store credit to spend on a couple of ships and CCU's I'm waiting for tomorrow....Store Citizen at it's finest

So wait you did all that with existing store credit? Like just snagging them so you’ve got them on your buyback list at the initial launch price?
You’d think CIG would put a tax on that carnival and insist on buybacks for warbonds only

That sounds like a far more in depth game loop than the mining or trading in the game.I bought one, melted it 24 hours later...but not because it's broken.... but because it's now in my buybacks at the release price with 10 years IAE insurance and I got the store credit back to spend on something else.

Be honest Mole, that's the real game isn't it?I bought one, melted it 24 hours later...but not because it's broken.... but because it's now in my buybacks at the release price with 10 years IAE insurance and I got the store credit back to spend on something else.

It can be more fun, certainly a lot less bugs than the game attached to the storeBe honest Mole, that's the real game isn't it?

Yup, never spent a penny real cash...just the ships I already had plus $250 standing store credit I keep hanging around just for those end of year open shop 'sales' events... and some creative ship and store credit shuffling. I lost a ROC mining buggy, an old standalone Aquila with 6 months insurance and a Gladius, all converted to store creds...besides losing those 3, I still gained some more ships and a lot more store credit to waste on tomorrow's MISC day.So wait you did all that with existing store credit?

I did plan to buy an Endeavour and a Hull D with the store credits (for the loaners and future melt/CCU value more than the ships themselves)...or CCU the 400i to one of them...but I'll have a look at this new MISC Odyssey jpeg, see what the loaners are as well as the price. It might be worth a punt considering the price will go up as it nears flyable. It's all about the prospective CCU or melt value for future upgrades. If the ship or package value rises, CCU it with store creds for something bigger...if it stays static or rises just a little, melt it for the store credit...same for the stuff in buyback.
The buybacks are a bit more complicated since to get ships or packages out, you either need cash or a buyback token in order to use store credits. At the moment, we get one or two of those a year...but that's changing so we have access to more if needed. As concierge, we can also ask concierge support for an extra buyback token mid year...they don't always give you one but sometimes they do... depending on when you ask or what it's for.

One has to wonder...
