New Imperial Eagle???

Clicker · Oct 11, 2015

Sorry if this question's been answered already...I've tried searching the threads but have very poor search-ninja skills it seems.

I backed the game way back and bought the Merc Pack thingy.
I got a Free Eagle when the game went live.

So, with the 1.4 release am I meant to get another free Eagle (this time the Imperial version)???

It isn't showing up, so I figure either I'm not worthy, or there's a bug.

Any advise greatfully received.

I'm pretty sure you get the regular eagle, then if you were one of the original backer, you get a Viper Mk. IV for free when it is released.

Imp Eagles are or were for the Imperial bounty hunter option in the KS up to a certain pledge level (that escapes me.....it feels a lifetime ago).

Just looked, pledge £32 or more to get one.

Indeed
Mercenary Pack = Eagle Mk.II and Crimson Paint job for it
Imperial Bounty Hunter Pledge level = Imperial Eagle

Yeah for real!

I don't remember what level I backed but I got the Freeagle and the Imp Eagle so far. As long as they keep tossing goodies my way, I'll take 'em.

I am so lost with all these new ships coming on board.. I wish there was a better in game GUI where it showed you actual pictures of the new ships or events, instead of those generic placeholders.

What on earth is a imperial eagle anyways? Is it different to the standard eagle?

I backed Kickstarter and after the last update I've now got an Imperial Eagle stored at Liabeze.
That wasn't my starting system and I've nothing else stored there so I suspect it was just dropped at a random location in Imperial space...

Not random, all in either Founders if you started there or Liabeze if not

I purchased one at Founder's World, though I'm not sure if PB and above have sole access through purchase, or Kickstarter just get one free. Either way, they're cheap and nothing to get excited about, althoguh the design is pretty cool.
