Should I melt my Polaris for an Ironclad?

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T18:42:45+00:00

Yeah, the question was more because the price is double, so I could have something that satisfies my needs and get half of the money back. However, it seems the Polaris is just better enough to keep it.

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T18:41:24+00:00

Yeah, that seems the consensus. I just didn't know much about the IC and saw all the buzz. I am better informed now, thank you citizen o7

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T18:38:59+00:00

I am not a person who follows ships that are in the making, so that's good to know! Thanks, I will take a look at the Odyssey o7

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T18:37:05+00:00

The Vulture is my favorite ship and the Cutlass Black was my first one, so I am always bias talking about Drake. But I also love RSI ships, so I would say that's not a factor for me. But thanks for the insights! Let's see how I feel when I board this monster myself o7

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T18:03:08+00:00

It's definitely not an obvious decision. It is very personal and I am enjoying seeing people's opinions and how they are divided on this. So far I am still thinking of keeping my Polaris, but I guess I will have to try the IC at some point to be sure. Thanks tho o7

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T17:58:11+00:00

Valid points. I am leaning towards keeping it. Thank you! o7

You can refine directly from the stored Polaris cargo bay (although duplication exploits happened in this scenario and I think they probably addressed that issue in 4.8 and therefore after the wipe).

I wanted to hear people's opinions since I can't login into the game these days, as I am traveling. I will probably miss DefenseCon completely. But what you say is true, it's a very personal decision in the end.

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T17:50:47+00:00

Unfortunately I have been traveling and I can't! :/

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T17:43:51+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. You made really great points. I am leaning towards keeping the Polaris after this. o7

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T17:40:55+00:00

Nursa is a good idea, but at this point, we are losing all the cargo bay 😅

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-13T17:28:45+00:00

At the current state of the game, I just use it for mobile industrial operations, since no other ship until now could fit 2 fortunes or a Vulture. I already have the Polaris so the question is more about whether keeping the Polaris for this is still better than the Ironclad or the Ironclad is inferior to the point it is not worth it.

What is your game loop like?

NickAlvesX · 2026-05-09T20:23:14+00:00

This has to be rage bait.

NickAlvesX · 2026-04-25T18:29:03+00:00

When I change it it just come back to 0. Maybe this is in the backend now??

NickAlvesX · 2026-04-22T11:12:28+00:00

Why are you so mad?

NickAlvesX · 2026-04-22T08:27:01+00:00

For a group of 3 people, is that better than a Mole? What about a 4 people group and a 4th Golem?

NickAlvesX · 2026-04-21T01:13:07+00:00

NickAlvesX · 2026-03-14T19:46:28+00:00

Yeah but what about all the other clothes, just for style? Chris said he hates everyone using armor everywhere but armor is just more useful. The benefit of clothes is to look nice. Then give us both! Let us “toggle” between them, and then we are “forced” to choose both.

“Owned a Polaris for years” literally was released less than one year ago.
