Will be interesting to see if in the new vanguards update allows a guild/vanguard etc to be able to share ships with each other. On this basis one member unlocks early access and then can then buy extra versions for the guild. Incentive there to save arx and guild up I would say.
ARX Ship Early Access Update
- Thread starter Phil W
- Start date
Oh, I am very aware of this, rest assured. But thanks for the well-intentioned information.
Does that mean one you can summon anywhere (unengineered) and the other you can engineer up. Never bought with ARX before and had only planned to get the A rated Stellar but can see the logic in what you say, if I understand correctly
I’ve only ever purchased the Standard ARX ships. If I’m correct in my thinking, it’s only the Stellar version that you can deploy anywhere (in its original bought format.) So if you find yourself at Station B you can deploy that ship there but you must first sell it from its location at Station A, thereby avoiding shipping time and costs. Someone who has a Stellar version and has done this would need to confirm or correct that.
What I meant is simply that when I purchase the standard version with ARX I will deploy that one, then go and buy another one with credits from a shipyard that stocks it so that I have two. When you buy with ARX, either version, the ship also unlocks in shipyards (that sell it) for in game credits so you can have as many of them as you wish ….. but only the first, ARX bought, one has the benefits that come with ARX purchased ships.
Hope that makes sense!
EDIT: I engineer regardless but that’s because I don’t use the summon feature (due to buying the cheaper version.)
I know I am. I did that with all the ships, and I don't really use the deployable ones - unlock whatever version I want with ARX, then immediately buy a hull in the shipyard and outfit and engineer THAT one.
Exactly. All the new ships I have are shipyard bought hulls, and in theory I can deploy any of the ARX versions anywhere at any time if I need one. Never did that though.
Does that include the cheap ‘standard’ version? I’ve never tried summoning one of my ARX ships as I thought only the stellar ones allowed this. Although, I wouldn’t want to lose the engineering so I doubt I’d do it even if I could.
Correct, only the ARX ships in unchanged configuration have zero rebuy. Any additional one bought through the shipyard follows standard rules.
also, ships cannot get stolen in this game. Some people wish for it, but that ain't gonna happen if you ask me.
Both ARX versions have the same deployment/rebuy/transfer options the only difference is which modules are fitted when deployed and what if any paints and kits come with them.I’ve only ever purchased the Standard ARX ships.

Based on the earlier ships that would probably be more expensive plus the paint is often exclusive to the stellar version.
Unless the instancing Gods stick their oar in - can sure feel like somebody's making off with your Fleet Carrier!
That's usually the reason I bought the stellar versions of the ships, when I knew I wanted the ship kit. The stellar version is usually cheaper than normal unlock plus ship kit, and, as you said, usually comes with a paint you cannot buy.
To prong or not to prong
Oh I had that the other day, but reversed. I was sitting on my carrier, and when I took off, it zoomed away under my backside.
And the deputy?
Ontopic: the whole arx thing annoys me, because as others said it's predatory.
But it doesn't annoy me enough to stop buying things
