This is also Li Yong Rui space so both ships and modules are 15% discounted that makes a large difference whether you don't have a lot of credits yet or will spend a lot of credits.


You really brought up something on my mind too. The game says I have 328 million in assets, (The army must keep that money, cause I never saw a nickel of it. -Forest Gump) But by my figuring, if I sold my anaconda (AGGGHHH, No!), the viper, the vulture, the courier, and the clipper (Not the mining ship!) it would leave me enough to buy the Imperial Cutter. The question I've been pondering was if I wanted to trade them all in on a capital ship. Did your corvette turn out to be everything you dreamed? Or keep them, be able to dog-fight, and mine, and mission, and buy her another day?


The Vette is a fine ship, but as Tor said, there is nothing you can do that you can't do in many other ships, but it fun and, well, big and imposing, it's also quite deadly.

It depends on what you like doing, the FAS is a blast but I haven't missed it since getting the Vette, that said my FDL is probably the most fun to fly but weak in comparison, haven't missed the Vulture at all (it just takes too long to kill stuff in comparison).

The Cutter, well, I only D rated it when I had it, made loads of money but never really enjoyed it (but that's more to do with trading than anything else.)

Update:
Thanks for all the advice, it's appreciated.
Today I dumped all my osmium and painite and platinum so I could change ships to my rabbit and go check out some of the suggestions. (It is insanely aweful that they don't let you transfer cargo between ships, or have lockers!) OK, the area around azrael is cool, (jura and others) and I agree that 150 ly should be the neighborhood, but that's not where the kids, Pop or my wife live. (yet) The one they all like best so far, of the eight systems I've suggested, (I've sent pix to phones with summaries) (Aren't you'all glad I don't have your phone numbers?) is deep in federation territory, and well, I like Imperial space too, so tomorrow I'll try to get to Sak Manka. (My son hijacked my rabbit to cubeo to get some rep)
Also, new news, Harm system, Gentil Hub has Imperial Cutters at 15% discount, confirmed. I want that cutter pretty bad, and would trade my vulture, and my courier ... But I love that mining ship, that may someday in 2035, pay for its' self. :D And my anaconda is my 'swiss army knife' and heck, I'd sell off the kids before the rabbit. She's my sweetest ride. So heaven and the cutter will have to wait.

Thanks again all,
Bob

Hmm interesting, wonder if its worth visiting, selling and repurchasing if it really is 15% and not the standard 10%..
Its only about 50Ly from my current location and will save a few $$ from my originally 10% discount cutter (@ Picaurukan).

Don't forget that you'll loose 10% on the sale of your Cutter. So the 15% discount may not gain you anything.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to come up with another 160 million or so ... ;)

Indeed .. i did forget about the ship 10% loss, 20% in total vs 15% rebuy ..hmm bugga
208,000,000 - 10% - 187,000,000 Cutter Starting price after 10% discount (approx)
187,000,000 - 10% - 168,000,000 Credit regained from original price after 10% Sale loss
vs
200,000 - 15% discounted value at Harm - 177,624,000 odd rebuy price.

So yeha .. actually be down 9 million (approx numbers) if I was to repurchase a the discounted Harm Cutter..
But ... wonder at the insurance saving over the life of the craft...
