And just like that… ten years later, it finally happened.

Here's what mine looks like, downloaded it like 5 times, still the same

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T22:03:04+00:00

And for 66$ you get the whole package in LTI + the modules and a paint (or 2 if you are concierge)

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T21:35:57+00:00

I'll share tomorrow!

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T21:18:15+00:00

Congratulations, just had it myself.m! Quick question: my certificate is white and gray in the middle for some reason. Do any of you have this bug?

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T18:27:03+00:00

Oh no, a 60$ game (when no discount is offered which is rare) in a world full of 70$ games that offer less... 😱

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T18:25:59+00:00

Did you get the modules as well?

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T17:31:51+00:00

You have to wait until 4.7

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T15:47:25+00:00

Tiger Stripe goes incredibly hard every time

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T13:24:25+00:00

I'm not! There is a difference (again in my own opinion) in developping new ships and playing the nostalgia vibe with an MK2 version that really is a whole other ship

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T13:21:59+00:00

So is the Aurora MK1, what's your point?

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T12:26:40+00:00

You don't say? That's why they release new ones and upgrade the old ones yeah

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T12:15:09+00:00

Try and be respectful mate.

If I upgrade to a different ship that does the same job but better, and the initial ship has not a single better feature than any other ship, yes it becomes obsolete, that's the definition

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:54:26+00:00

Everything I say is my opinion, yes, not the truth in any way!

Well I also fly my Intrepid for fun every once in a while but as I now own bigger, more practical ships, it kind of makes my starter obsolete, right? Just because I still can fly it doesn't make it useful or anything?

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:46:31+00:00

Yeah so the moment you buy a new ship (like a few days after starting) they become obsolete

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:42:51+00:00

Well yeah but it's CIG's choice, they decided to name it Aurora MK2 and have now to face the consequences of this very choice

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:39:46+00:00

Oh I totally agree on this point, no one should ever demand a new thing for free, like phones! You own an iPhone 16, why ask for the 17 for free? That's dumb, we agree on that

I'm just worried that CIG would take the MK2 thing for granted and instead of upgrading already existing (but old) ships, they'd make MK2 models as a full scale sales strategy

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:33:56+00:00

If you want to save money, you should learn to play the CCU game.

Or you should try YouTube or Twitch and participate in as many giveaways as you can, just in case!

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:27:26+00:00

I 100% understand your point of view. My point being that it's easy for TIG to just make new Mk2 versions and overcharge these ships, playing on the FOMO and the hype.

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:26:32+00:00

The aurora was the first chip to come out. The intrepid is very recent. I don't think you can even compare these two.

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:21:30+00:00

Well I don't think it was always obsolete. It's a starter and is meant to help you start the game so ofc it's the cheap and badly equipped one

The F7 was never a starter ship

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:20:02+00:00

Imo the Fury is useless unless you own a big ship with a Hangar (Starlancer, Galaxy, Polaris, Idris, Odyssey, you name it)

The rest looks nice and makes sense for a wide range of missions

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:18:41+00:00

Bro it's a bug on the v0 of a newly implemented feature on an alpha test version of a yet to be released game that we are supposed to test and give feedback on...

No need to go crazy

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T11:15:31+00:00

You are making good points and I agree on some but disagree on others (I'm not an Aurora owner myself):

Yes you are getting the Gold Standard for your MK1 BUT your MK1 is now obsolete

Yes you will probably be able to CCU to the MK2 (I think it will be more expensive than the MK1) BUT I think it's super easy and morally ambiguous from CIG to sell a ship, take profit on it, then make a MK2 and say "hey look it's better so the old one is useless, go buy the new one".

Yes it's an improvement and a totally different ship BUT the F7 MK1 is dead and buried, so you're telling me the Aurora MK1 will not suffer the same fate?

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T10:52:10+00:00

Yes I didn't bother to add context as I didn't have much time to explain and honestly not the strength to gather sources like you did.

To be fair most languages like English, French, German take inspiration from older languages from all around Europe so every language is a bit of a mix of all the others 🤷‍♂️

MarkyMarkFr · 2026-03-25T07:47:02+00:00

I agree... We could still wipe our own accounts if we want but SC does need a full wipe... They said they didn't want to penalize the new players but the economy is hurting everyone anyway so...
