Thank you Cmndr 07 Love the look of this new ship and it's movability. Really want to own one when update comes live. So the main question is: how much? How much will this beast cost?
I believe I heard the "Ant" say 20 million.
That's sounds reasonable. Does it require Alliance navel rank license?
No. There are no Alliance ranks, anyway, navel (lol) or otherwise.
Yeah! "Naval". English isn't my native language, you know. But there always have to be a one wise- (grammar police). This is the reason why some people just wont comment anything in this forum. Think about that. And how manny languages do you write and speak? I got 3. Not perfect but enough to get by. Thanks for the info.
I'm sorry if I upset you. I did not want to make fun of you, I just thought it was a funny typo. Peace?

This beta is a bit different - ships cost the same as in the live build. The price could of course still change, but this is what the Chieftain costs:
Indeed, while it could change (as could the ships' stats), Obsidian Ant in the comments of the following video quoted a price of 19 million, while the wiki has its' price currently listed at 18,897,696, which is basically the same thing...

Apology accepted! I know it was funny, but like i said there has been way too much nitpicking like that and personally know few people who wont comment here anymore and i mistakenly thought that you were one of them grammar polices. Sorry for that. Peace!

But you throw in some tax, license, plates, and rebuy, 20 million pretty close, reckon.
Looks to me like now would be a good time to pick up and engineer to G5 a size 6 Power Plant, Thruster, and Power Distributor, a size 5 FSD, and Shield Generator, and a size 5 Sensor. Saves a whole lot of silly grinding for those of us interested in good not maximum upgrades. Bring them to Grade 5, convert them which takes them to 4, then upgrade to 5. They might even wind up a little better than an acceptable (to me) Grade 5 now.
It might not be a bad idea to do some weapons too, but I'm only marginally motivated in that direction. I doubt I'll want to use the Chieftain for exploration, but since I'm not willing to PvP anyone, vanilla weapons will probably do. YMMV.
This will probably bring the Chieftain closer to 56 million before weapons upgrades and incidentals. It might make 80 by the time all is said and done.

Logging back into Beta I had failed massacre missions I never accepted. Deleted them. Maybe I should submit a ticket.
I mildly engineered the Chieftain not past grade 3 with two large multi-cannons and everything else beam lasers. I had the mats to do every module and weapon on the ship. Going into a conflict zone without heat sinks or SCBs it was still easy pickings taking out any enemy of choice as this ship moves like a bat in heat looking for a mate! It took awhile for the larger ships avoiding 4:1 support enemy craft but this ship will outfly them all. Once I targeted and fired on a big ship they would follow me leaving the arena while my shields charged. Then I could finish them off without enemy fighter support. But that is all about combat skills which are different for every player.
The Chieftain is a very powerful combat ship. Those who know combat much better than me are smiling a lot! Next up we'll have posts on the Forum trying to neft it's abilities. Been there and done that.
Regards
