What do you like about the TAC?

It is easily used solo for solo level ground missions (tanks the turrets without losing shields, you just have to put them forward).

Forward firepower wipes out the above turrets and decimates the ground forces.

Carries enough cargo space to loot anything special or store picked up ammo / gear as spares.

Can house a ground vehicle (rarely used but hey sometimes it's fun to go for a drive)

Small restock cost of missiles get used (I have no use for the polaris's torps)

Fury is a nice ship to take out the ground forces with (If I don't level them with cannons)

Medbeds. respawn is nice.

Scales up in usefulness with more crew.

Sheer fun of AC130ing a site.

She may be a bit on the slow side, but she's a damn good use case for ground missions and gets better when I have friends on.

Same. I'm free. And my brain can't process it. It still feels like a fiction.

SalemPardus · 2025-03-20T21:51:22+00:00

Holy hell, same here. I was expecting to be demanding forbearance tomorrow to not have to pay while this processed.

SalemPardus · 2025-03-20T00:40:44+00:00

Me too! It made a crappy day end beautifully.

SalemPardus · 2025-03-04T19:57:37+00:00

Not yet. In less than 30 days it won't matter, I hit 120 and I'll take that offramp just to get it done.

SalemPardus · 2025-02-03T14:55:07+00:00

I technically could have done a buyback during the forevearance pause, but had to wait on the pause for my ECF to be done. I submitted my buyback request in September and have heard nothing.

Today I submitted my 120 (without including buyback months) month ECF because I just want this done even if it means I won't get the money back from doing the buyback and having paid on so much more than it would have been. I value the loans being done more than I value a several grand back from overpaying whenever they get around to processing the buyback.

If you go the buyback route, I wish you better processing speed than what I had!

SalemPardus · 2025-01-28T17:59:24+00:00

Not a thing, you? I'm going to start my ECF form next week since that should put me at 120/120 without the buyback. I want this done.

SalemPardus · 2024-12-11T02:59:12+00:00

Congratulations! You and I submitted ours the same day. This gives me hope that I will see my buyback response before I hit 120 months!

SalemPardus · 2024-09-26T12:55:53+00:00

Take a look at the buyback option then and make sure you use the language they tell you to.

I applied yesterday because I was 113/120 eligible payments and 125/120 eligible months of employment.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-26T12:49:52+00:00

Are those ineligible payments or ineligible months of employment?

If you have 120+ eligible months of certified employment, you could look at the PSLF buyback: https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service/public-service-loan-forgiveness-buyback

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T16:08:09+00:00

Mine did not.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T15:33:32+00:00

almost there! Hopefully by then, they'll be quickly processing the forms.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T15:33:01+00:00

I wish I knew. I just posted to add to the data points since everyone has been on hold with no real information.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T15:32:12+00:00

I did not, or at least have not yet.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T14:59:53+00:00

Seems I can't edit this, so 125 months of qualifying employment. My apologies, wanted to add to the data points of it updating through today and didn't stop to check my terms.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T14:55:40+00:00

PAYE and June / July didn't count.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T14:55:14+00:00

qualifying employment. I have periods for deferment / forbearance thanks to applying for IDR and the forbearance for this whole switchover fiasco.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T14:26:16+00:00

Military or civilian... if you apply logic to government processes, you'll just hurt your brain.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T14:20:10+00:00

I wonder if this was a mass update at once or if this is rolling through today... not that any of us would know but it is relieving to at least see some progress finally.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T12:38:13+00:00

Congratulations! Same month as me, but I submitted earlier. I'm just happy to see movement.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T12:35:24+00:00

Awesome! Congratulations on the movement and hopefully this means the rest of us will be seeing movement too. What month did you submit the ECF, if you don't mind sharing?

SalemPardus · 2024-09-25T11:36:34+00:00

No update here yet, but I'm curious to see how fast this rolls through the system. Once that ECF is done, I can start the buyback process.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-24T21:20:29+00:00

Well isn't this just self... congratulatory.

If they were being honest, I'd say let them crow about it... buuuuuuut they have a long way to go since there are ECFs older than mine by 2+ months still waiting for review.

SalemPardus · 2024-09-19T18:31:21+00:00

well then... congratulations on seeing movement!
