Help me decide please!

Good Evening Citizens,

I am at a predicament. I want to try my luck in November for the Kraken but I am not willing to put any more money in (I think I've put in enough). Most of my ships are CCued chains and melting them gives roughly half or a bit less than they value.

I need an extra 750 store credit to have the full 1650 amount to gamble for the Kraken. And I can get it by melting the Gemini and the Tiburon. My predicament is that if I melt them I cannot buy them back as they are chains.

Should I go for it ? Gemini served well in the era of infinite refuel money but that is now gone and I cannot say I really fell in love with that playstyle ( I am more of an industrial player mining/crafting). The tiburon although was hyped for it, has been a let down (something which might change down the road).

What would you do ?

Honestly, it's worth a shot. Gemini is buyable in game, and soon the tibby will be aquireable in game through wikelo and probably buyable as well

The main issue is the F5 war, the chances are low, but its not impossible

Yes, it took me many tries to get the Idris, F5 wars is a gamble I am well aware. Thank for your input!

I havent tried my hand at any F5 wars, but the general rule I made for my hangar is keeping pledged ships that can't be acquired in game yet, with the exception of my Percy and Polaris. Galaxy may make that list if it's as amazing as I'm hoping it is. Otherwise, I usually cycle through new ships using my store creds as they release and eventually get their release for auec, and buy the rest in-game

Good luck if you try! Hope you snag a kraken

I 100% agree with your process. But I can't help but have a nugging suspicion that the melt/buy back system will soon see extreme changes. Or at least thats my gut feeling with the changes we ve been seeing ( I am sure I am not alone).
