Advice for shipping operations
So, I currently own a Drake Cutlass Blue, a Drake Herald, and an Origin Jumpworks 325a. The Cutlass Blue I am not willing to melt or modify. It is the ship I will be primarily using in the verse, solo or multiplay. Has 2 year insurance. The Herald is a mission- specific ship, also one I am not willing to melt or modify. Also has LTI. So that leaves the 325a... What I'm asking is what I should do with it? I don't want it, but I can't melt it because it has my only Alpha slot. I was thinking about using it for escort missions/dogfighting, but I don't like the ship. I want to ccu it, but the only thing it can currently ccu up to is the M50 and the Hornet. Should I wait for other ccu's to become available, or should I suck it up, melt the package, and purchase module passes as they come?
Wait for the cross chassis to be released. Otherwise you'll pay for the ship, then have to pay more for passes, and still won't be able to use any other option until they get the cross anyway.
Cross chassis when possible OR melt it and get the Arena Commander pass for $5. It’s likely you’ll need to pay another $5 per module when they launch, which could mean losing $25 total if each module is $5 for alpha access.
You're not sure what you'd trade it for. In my view, you have a ship that doesn't quite fit your needs, and you're either looking to replace it with something that's still out of the air yet might not work well—or something that gives you an Aurora, Avenger, Mustang or Hornet. The only upgrade available is the Hornet. In my opinion, it's better to be familiar with what you know.
If you enjoy the hornet, you can try the ccu to hornet and another to super hornet. This gives you a powerful dog fighter for running missions. I’m not sure if it’s financially sensible.
I can modify it for a more battle-focused role, perfect for escort duties and similar tasks.
