Hello Commanders,
With the upcoming September Update we wanted to take a moment to explain some important information about the Frontier Store and ARX when they're introduced to the game.
Purchasing Cosmetics
- ARX can be purchased, as well as earned by simply playing the game, to acquire Game Extras such as Paint Jobs, Ship Kits, Bobbleheads and more!
- You will no longer be able to purchase Game Extras using current payment methods and instead will require ARX, available in a number of packs (below).
- Prices for PC ARX packs (below) are as follows:
- 5000 ARX - 2.99 GBP / 3.49 EUR / 3.99 USD
- 8400 (+420 bonus) ARX - 4.99 GBP / 5.99 EUR / 6.99 USD (total ARX - 8,820)
- 16,800 (+900 bonus) ARX - 9.99 GBP / 10.99 EUR / 12.99 USD (total ARX - 17,700)
- 25,500 (+1,300 bonus) ARX - 14.99 GBP / 15.99 EUR / 18.99 USD (total ARX - 26,800)
- 51,000 (+3,000 bonus) ARX - 29.99 GBP / 32.99 EUR / 39.99 USD (total ARX - 54,000)
- 85,000 (+15,000 bonus) ARX - 49.99 GBP / 54.99 EUR / 59.99 USD (total ARX - 100,000)
- Prices for console ARX packs may vary market to market based on platform specifications.
Frontier Points
Frontier Store Downtime
- When logging in after the September Update is released, any outstanding Frontier Point balance will be converted into ARX with the following transfer rate (based on the best value ARX package): 1 Frontier Point = 20 ARX
- Commanders will also receive an email about this conversion.
If you have any questions about ARX, please let us know below or consult or FAQ available here.
- In order to prepare for these changes, the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 Frontier Store will be offline from 16 September at 07:00 (UTC) and go live when the September Update has been deployed.
Updated details and clarifications:
[/spoiler]
1 Frontier Point = 20 ARX. Which is ~ 16 cents USD at 5000 ARX bundle and ~ 1 cent USD at the 85000 ARX bundle rate
So I can get a typical paint job for $4.00 USD and a reasonably decent ship kit for approximately twice as much.
THANK YOU FDev for not cybernetically brain farting over the ED store with Star Citizen's outer worldly pricing scheme
