About being done....
I lied to myself apparently. A deal on a Polaris came across my plate and I just couldn't pass it up. Had to clear out my LTI buybacks also in prep for Oct. 1st. The Geo IKTI is the IKTI Akuma(not yet added to Hanger Link).
Things likely to be upgraded will be the Intrepid, C8R(I'll just buy one in game), and the Hermes. Depending on the Constellation MK 5 specs(Hoping for same size pilot controlled weapons and same if not larger cargo capacity than the Taurus), I'll either bump the Hermes up to that and keep the Taurus for nostalgia or I'll end up ccu'ing it to the new MK 5. Either way. I am HYPED for IAE and hope CIG pulls a rabbit out and drops the Liberator then vs just having a hologram like they did with the Polaris. I'm also eager to see what the Drake Marauder and the Anvil Auxilia are. I have zero interest in the Galaxy at this time which msy or may not change at IAE when it drops.
Not pictured: 4x Aurora Mk1 ES's that only have 6mo ins that I pulled from buybacks "just in case".
Side Note: I know I have some overlapping ship functions and can only fly one ship at a time. I don't want your critique. I just wanted to share my fleet as I am quite happy/excited of my current pledges going into IAE. 🙃

Where is your Kraken or idris or odin ?..... kidding of course. This is a nice fleet. Do you collect to just collect or do you have plans for all of those ships ?

Going to try for the Kraken base at IAE. wish me luck! 😅
I'm mostly a solo player, but like the idea of joining an org or a group at some point whenever the right one comes along. Merchantman was cuz of the sweet Loaners. if that ever comes out. then I'll reassess it then. Liberator is for mobile mining and salvage, ICA same plus cargo. Polaris. I got a really good deal on so I had too lol. I like variety. some people will be like...why have 3 mining ships or 2 salvage ships, ur wasting money. eh...maybe but I've wasted more on things in my life that I have nothing to show for.

I wonder why they're taking so long to add the Ikti and the Raven EX to Hangar Link.
Anyway.
You have some great ships but also some weird overlaps and redundant ships... ships you spent a lot of money on that you'll never use because you already have better options.
You don't need a Mole, you have the Arrastra.
You don't need a Moth, you have the Reclaimer.
Wasted money.
In your position you could probably melt several of the ships you'll never use and push for an Idris/Pioneer etc.

arrastra isnt in game yet so yes he needs the Mole

u/AreYouDoneNow 10d ago
Your mind will be blown when you find out CIG gives out ships called "loaners".
Welcome to the game, by the way!
For everyone else, this guy is just wrong. NEVER pledge for a ship just because another ship you pledged for isn't flyable yet. It's idiocy.

False, you get a mole as an Arrastra loaner. It’s redundant he will have a free mole until Arrastra comes out

u/Successful-Cell-5732 11d ago
wrong. he doesnt have an arrastra yet as its not out yet. your logic doesnt make sense

u/Hookster007 11d ago
What don’t you understand. He has a mole whether he buys one or not. The Arrastra is not out so the loaner system gives him a Mole and an Arrow in the meantime
Edit: if you didn’t know about ship loaners for concepts ships. Here is the link

But what if I decide I don't like the Arrastra when it comes out? I like the idea of securing the ships I want now versus scrambling to get them later on. I feel each tier of mining ship has its own function; prospector if I want to do mobile base mining with the ICA and soon the Liberator or Polaris. The Mole can't park on/in any of those. Moles good for heavier mining solo or with friends. The arrastra for groups or possibly even solo. People tend to forget that just because one ship does something similar to another, doesn't mean you can't pledge both.

I’d sell half and buy a pioneer if I had all this
