A new vessel will launch tomorrow along with exclusive rewards.
I caught a segment of the "after party" broadcast from Around The Verse today. They revealed that a new vessel and additional items will launch in the Pledge store tomorrow! The upcoming release is the Gladius, tied to the $42M stretch target. The description highlights: "The Aegis Gladius is the UEE’s reigning light short-range patrol fighter. A single-seat craft with no room for expansion, it’s swift, agile, and delivers strong performance beyond its size. The key benefit lies in its simplicity—affordable to build, easy to maintain and equip, and fast for training new pilots. Though this design is nearing the end of its life, continuous updates have kept it agile among active fighters." The price is listed at $80, which feels unexpected given its entry-level fighter reputation. Meanwhile, another item will hit shelves tomorrow: customizable, physical dog tags. You can inscribe your name up to 16 characters on the first line, a "limited edition" rank on the second, and your citizen number on the third. The cost is $15 (with international shipping included), and 3,000 units will be available. Further announcements are planned for next week, though details are fading from memory. Exciting developments ahead! EDIT: Star Citizen towel and Arena Commander t-shirt were also teased. EDIT 2: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.co...nd-poll/p1 Some images of the Gladius. EDIT 3: The sale is now live and specifications for the Gladius are confirmed! Edited July 11, 2014 by Wauthar
Are you looking for something? The transaction hasn't begun yet, or do you lack funds?
I think the Gladius should be around $50. It could be a stronger fighter than the cheaper options under $150, but it feels too average right now. Plus, it might not be very rare when the pieces arrive. Military surplus should make it affordable and plentiful for a dogfighting roleplay character.
Sure, it seems like you're facing some financial constraints. You might want to reassess your spending on car parts.
