Oh fuck no XD what gave you that idea lol.
I am not spending $1,300 and still having to grind. I spend $1,300 because I specifically don’t want to have to grind.
Agreed.
I spend to cut on the grind but there’s still things i want to earn
I want to delete the grind. I will earn nothing.
how about just having both lmao
Could. But I have a Javelin so it seemed kind of redundant.
Because the javelin doesn't seem to be that heavily frontally armed whereas Idris has railgun turrets and torps
The Javelin has the S12 largest player buyable weapon to ever exist and the 2 Quad S9 turrets.
Yeah one, jav has dual size 12 torps, All size dual size 7 turrets with dual size 3 turrets ontop of each, then dual quad s9 turrets.
Goodluck.
It also has most likely double the armor, and HP
Size 10 torps are deadly to an idris, imagine a size 12.
all good no worries lol, Its just an absolute beast of a ship XD
hehe
Don’t forget the 4 twin S5 turrets that can fire forward. They won’t do much but they can provide PD against the Idris missile bay.
I can’t believe how powerful it is. Surely it will get nerfed.
? Aren't those S7's?
Im pretty sure all are Size 7's?
13 hard point dual size 7 guns, with dual size 4 turrets on them, and then quad size 9 turrets top and bottom.
On the front? They are smaller then the side guns aren't they?
Dual Size 4s?
Yes, the size 7's also have a dual size 4 cannon ontop of them, for fighters and such
So its a quad turret basically, two size 4's and two size 7's
@merry herald ^
Ah.
Wait, why does it say only 6 mounts?
Is there a difference between them?
Ah.
Yeah, it's 3 on each side for top, two front. And then I think 5 under the body.
Not including the size 9's
So it has some massive firepower turret wise.
When will the website update itself.
What do you mean?
The listing. When will it update to be less confusing.
No idea.
Idris Appreciation +1
Sexiest ship ever
When Idris K laser sword demo
Soon.™️
i think size 5 missiles a little bit too small for such a ship
Does the cargo room on the Idris P have an Elevator to move boxes?
The cargo room has an elevator from the main hangar. The mpu hangar has no elevator but desperately needs one
How can we load cargo via MPUV if it doesn’t have an elevator??
Idek
It has 2 ladders it doesnt even get stairs
Why??
I dont know i think it was added because they said it had one before they laid it out then realized it didnt make any sense no idea why they haven’t fixed it. If the mpu will be useless let us change the hangar to a legionnaire hangar or anything else that may be useful
How didn’t it make sense?
Where it sits on the bottom of the idris with only ladder access
Well where was it before?
Yeah i think orignaly they planned to just have the MPVU in the main hanger
like in SC42 gameplay
anyways i think most my cargo would be from a cargo ship docking
Yeah the idea of the base mpu and not even the tractor variant able to carry 12 scu at a time
I wonder what crew consumption rates would be
Like a food and ammo run
How much can 20 people eat? No more than 1 SCU per day right??
Well a ready meal is 420 µSCU, Lets say they all have 3 meals a day for 30 days. And that shall only take up around 1.28 scu
if my maths worked out
So i guess a few scu for a quick run is worth it
Keep the crew on the ship so they don’t roam like mindless cows
But that doesn’t address is the mpu for a run then unload in hangar and it goes in the bottom as just a storage that’s not in the way for combat
how does the k kit works? as upgrade via the website and its permanent or as something you can costomize ingame via the vehicle loadout manager
Atm nothing but it’s supposed to be a weapon set for the ship so instead of turrets you can use missle turrets also fill the empty spaces on the p to make it closer to m
so its ingame?
How would it be in game when the Idris isnt even usable by owners
i have no idea thats why i ask
What goes in the cargo room?
i think the storage room somehow changes p to m because m has torpedo room which i hope i can one get in game and add it to my k
I want that too. But what does the kit give??
sorry for the low resolution
I mean for the not missile room.
idk
yes it gives you the individual turrets and weapons for you to change them as if you were changing the guns or turrets on mobiglas with current ships
not sure if they will allow you to change them via mobiglass like how its currently done or if they will make you go to a capital shipyard to have them changed
ty
What would you have to bring for a longhaul onboard a idris
Ofc Food and Water, But how much medical supplies and stuff would you thinks
Depends on the goal of the idris. It would need ammo/additional missiles for it's fighters. Some way to repair them too. FPS gear probably too and additional ammo. If you want to use the shooting range then you'd need a bunch of spare munitions for RP purposes
Plenty of engineering extra stuff too.
How does one get missiles? How will this work when Idris is in?
Get them on a cargo ship and deliver them? Im pretty sure you can do something similiar rn
S1-3 missiles are pretty small and easy to move, if tedious
How do I get it to spawn?
Currently dragging them out of inventory if you are in a hangar or around a city/station
With cargo update, through elevator I'd imagine
So… I need to buy more than 1 of each type?
It's like replacing weapon hardpoints manually, just with missiles. I've kinda wanted to test it with ballistics since the ammo is stored in the weapon. Swapping a gladius' guns after a mission to see how that would work
But where do the extra missiles come from?
You buy them from a store and bring them on
I have like 400 rattler missiles
Could probably shove them in an scu box
But doesn’t that cost more than just restocking?
Dunno, but I'd do it from an rp respective. Things like the Connie might need to be restocked on a pad cause the missiles are internal
I’m broke and cannot.
Fair enough
Me personaly im making a strip club on it and a organ harvesting farm
if your broke then you wont be using capital ships
cant wait to see people begging in chat for money to fuel their cap shit
Lti just gonna run it to E then claim and not play for a week
You could go the reclaim pledge route but I’m sure they’ll shut that down when too many people abuse it just for restock refuels
ur paying for refuling
im just gonna take over planets and force them to work as slaves and make fuel for me
imagine pirating a starfarer in an idris and extorting it for fuel
Will.
I thought you were joking but it’s legit let’s get our BIS paints
so what, just jack Idris' from the Arlington/High/Critical missions and use them?
The top two flyable/drivable vehicles in each division with the most activity will make it into the Ship Showdown tournament
when you steal one and it has an interior invite everone here so we can boost our numbers
Are there any guaranteed interior spawning ones?
no
Don’t they all have interiors? Do they function any different if they don’t?
SQ42 being released?
Yes but no. Yes they said that but no because they also said the same thing about the f8c but then they wanted money sooooo maybe if Idris BIS they may sell a ton if they decide to let it be flyable a little early. The real answer is only Chris knows.
Someone spike his cocaine with some weed maybe he’ll change from scam man
where my fellow idris chads at
Idris Elbow
Pew Pew Idris Fam... Cant wait for this bad Boi...
Yes.
Then we can Have Idris 1v1s cause we have no crew to fly them
you can do idris 1v1s with the mission idris
Id sign up to crew an Idris anyday since I am too poor to own one 
Sign here and here
How much for an idris
Best I can do is, 10 ||cents||

I mean you are the #1 dealer
Hey, maybe I can buy one, we can 2v1 other idris people
The idris is 1.2k I think? Maybe a bit more.. been a while since I checked
Hmmmm
Course I’ll mark that up 1000% cause I’m totally legit
Intriguing
1.3k + 300 for the kit.
See you guys in 26 i guess
Rip
Won’t even be suprised if they delay idris, with their promise of it being released WITH sq42
Well duh.
Can we get an idris plushie tho
I want an idris scale model
Idris plushie
Why not both
why do they release the poolaris before the idris. i feel scammed
Because RSI is first on list
You want a model of an idris?
Idris scale plushie
Imagine the penguing from NB surfing on top of the idris as a plushie
Idris secured in persistant hangar!
Our team got 3 of them in hangars so far. Just been farming them
Can these be repaired and refueled in persistent hangars?
Yes
Luckily, the repair cost for this one was 350k. But ive seen them in the millions
330k actually. Hydrogen fuel was 3.5k, but i did not fly around too much (80scu)
i thought the idris p aftermarket kit is available during the sale but i cant see it anywhere. do i have to wait for the "aegis days"?
You have to own an Idris P.
Have you attempted to refuel with a with this beast?
i have the -m. i want the additional rail gun and pds turrets
maybe it worth maybe its not but i want them
The M has the railgun. The kit is on sale all the time. Check in the add ons tabs of the store.
Then I guess wait for Aegis day but it should be there.
ok, ty
warbond idris-k kit is available all year long, on aegis day the non-warbond version goes on sale so you can buy the k-kit with store credit
do you own the idris P?
-m
i have the -m. i want the additional laserbeam and pds turrets
maybe it worth maybe its not but i want them
guess i have to make a ticket and wait another 4 months to get an answer 
hm
i believe it only shows up if you the -p
might need to open a ticket to be able to buy it ngl

Yes, 80 scu of hydrogen only cost 3.5k. The idris is awesome sitting in my hangar
Thank you for researching this!
How much will Javelins be? I heard Jav was going to be 3M but that doesn’t sound right if Idris is so cheap. I have spent 100K refueling my 890J though. Are you ok?
Again, i didnt fly it around too much, so i probably didnt use allot of fuel. I took a screenshot of the repair since its an org prestige requirement, which signifies that the idris is secured
Ayo! This is why the missions ain't working
Or did your ones decide to work when you killed the pilot
I read in the patch notes that was how it was supposed to work
Missions dont work because of game performance. It took more time finding a working server (2 hrs) than fighting idris and other polaris, and securing the idris (60 min?)
Can I get a Idris want to try it
Gotta steal one from mission level 3 or 4 - save Stanton
We’re already getting them in our hands. Why can’t CIG just give them to owners 
I don’t care that some stuff isn’t ready give me my 1500 dollar boat chroberts
Chris doenst want us to have it in our hangars until we complete SQ42.
GIMME MY IDRIS
Lemme have it now!
FIFTEEN HUNDRED US DIMMADOLLARS CHROBERTSSSSS
Anyone else hopeful for Idris at ILW
Me!
Idris Paint added to the game. New Idris Screens added to the game!
Guys, we can steal the idris in the new ambush mission. Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?
SO being released this free flight? with the tac?
I made a post about it.
Go like and comment I guess?
MORE PROOF IT IS COMING!
I'm drowning in Hopium right now.
Buh
They did not say the idris was moved to 4.0 release because if they did then everyone would know about it cause it would have been posted everywhere
theres alot that points to possible idris drop.
alot of work has been done on the interior
they have the paint that may or may not be for the bot idris
as well as theyre testing the servers to see how many cap ships can the servers take and have given the testers the polaris
i think its almost here and im hyped
the interior being done =/= release
the reason the interior is being done is because its part of SQ42 and the reason its in the PU is because there idris board or disable events
the exterior of the idris currently in game is the old model that has since been revamped and redone for SQ42, you can see the new model in the SQ42 playthrough
They have stated it wont be released for players until SQ42 and there is no reason to think they would go back on that unless they were losing money and needed more but thats not the case atm
Wait, what? Where?
Because the reason was “spoilers” and we have already seen the inside. SQ42s constant delays have been leading to pledgers becoming impatient so they are also pushing for it to be released because who knows when SQ42 is actually coming out.
Im pretty sure that one is an older block of the idris
The engines are different and seem to have lost the ability to swivel down for vtol
They did the same thing with the f8c yet here it is well before sq42
the engines appear to still swivel they are just angled as opposed to standing vertically like how the current idris engines are. We didnt see any images of them actually swiveling but after seeing all the close shots of the idris it doesnt appear that anything is blocking them from swiveling.
the f8c and idris are vastly different you cant compare a $300 ship to a $1.5k ship, and while they said they wanted players to obtain the f8c via SQ42 that was back in 2017 as opposed to them in 2023 saying the idris was a sq42 release ship
if they were going to drop the idris early they wouldnt have said it was a sq42 release ship to avoid the blow back when its released early
we have a release year now on official SQ42 promotion material so unless they end up delaying again theres no reason to think the idris would drop sooner
wrong idris tomorrow
plus it would make them a shitload so record quarter as well as build hype for sq42
they already have record quarter
also dropping idris wouldnt build hype for sq42 it would build hype for PU and be interpreted as SQ42 being delayed which is bad publicity
If anything, that price difference means the Idris is more likely to drop. They have been selling Pioneers and Hull E. Are they really that short on money?
the pioneers are probably being sold since they announced the pioneer was releasing in the next 18 months
so its to give as many people a chance to buy it before the price increase
i dunno why the hull e is being sold tho
maybe its so theres 2 hull limiteds at a time in case 1 is out of stock people buy the other?
They are both out of stock.
well yeah they are sold out
i meant when they dropped and the pioneer was out of stock in under 2 minutes
They didn't do that for the Polaris.
polaris isnt hull limited
Well even so, it doesn't make that much sense.
yeah idk why they are doing the hull limited sales more frequently but if i had to guess its to allow more people the opportunity to buy them rather than to increase the number of waves per ship
but so far they are well ahead of previous years so I doubt they are having money problems
It’s not about money problems it’s about a win win. If it’s truly finished there’s no reason they wouldn’t release it
Massive influx of players and money getting daily player counts to skyrocket also bringing in the old backers who haven’t thought about this in years
Agreed! If it is done, why wouldn’t they release it. Something they said 10 years ago isn’t a very good reason. And to be fair, wasn’t SQ42 originally supposed to release in 2018 or something? They could just say that since it’s been so long past that initial release date, they are in fact releasing it now to reward us for our patience or something along those lines.
okay but this isnt something they said 10 years ago its something they said 2 years ago and repeated last year
and assuming SQ42 is actually going to release 2026 theres no reason to drop it ahead of schedule since if they did it would only be viewed negatively
I don’t know what negative view you think people will have as i believe most would happily accept the release
Agreed.
F8C was never sold before and thus didn’t have a bunch of people eagerly waiting for it.
I WANT MY IDRIS NOW
While there might be some negative opinions i don’t think it will be nearly the same amount as the f8c. People have been waiting forever for their Idri and it will be welcomed with open arms
theres already a sizeable chunk of the community that dislikes capital ships cause engineering is not in and they are pretty easy to solo and not get killed in, I would be shocked if the idris releases before engineering T0 is added
Theres a sizeable and very loud part of the community that does in fact want and like capital ships.
nearly everyone wants capital ships but the vast majority of those dont want to see 1 dude in a polaris thats unkillable and ramming everyone else cause he can surive ramming but no-one else can
Yeah that sucks but Idris cool.
im planning to pick up an idris at invictus, how bad is the war really?
depends if you do warbond or normal
warbond is slightly easier
normal is out of stock in seconds
Because big hangar and ship=cool
Normal is out of stock in < 3 seconds. Warbond wave 1 sells out fast but wave 2 and 3 often times last.
A shame I will be going for normal then, wish me luck
Any cool meta strats that are not smart to leak but someone is willing to leak anyways?
F5 to refresh, add to cart, try to buy. If When fail, leave it in your cart. It will be slightly faster next times.
there was a script few years ago who tricked the browser/website to already have the ship in the cart. no idea if it is still available
maybe you find it with google
for store credit about 1 minute if using new cash 5 minutes or so as sometimes during late waves they take a while to sell out
pretty sure thats against tos
violate tos or just click f5 your choice
yeah. using it at your own risk
there used to be a way to put an item in your cart add store credit and then add idris remove other ship and pay instead of having to add idris and type store credit
but last i heard that doesnt work well since they revamped the site
while the idris-p doesnt come stock with the rail gun it does have the hard point for it and they said you would be able to get the rail gun in-game as well as upgrading your P into an M. Granted this is 2019 info so stuff could have changed https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/idris-update
No. Not 1 minute. 3 seconds. F5, add to cart, hit buy, Oops, already sold out.
They removed the hardpoint because it was uggo without a weapon.
we dont know if the hardpoint was removed or if they made the parts the rail gun attaches to to be part of the rail gun
we will find out when the idris is released
Soon.™️
I’ve done it a lot and wave 1 is about 30 seconds but most waves will last about a minute for store credit
Absolutely false.
No
I have a friend who can confirm this is indeed false
Yes!
massive ships
I will laugh my ass off if they meant the ironclad or something similar
Same. Those aren’t even Large are they?
no idea
Idris Soon.
the ironclad is big, but not massive, in my opinion massive is capital size
I’ve done it with the Idris the kraken and the pioneer I’ve always watched waves before i had money and clocked them so i knew how fast i needed to be but believe your “friend”
I have too. Store credit sells out in 5 seconds or less, WB is gone in 5 seconds first wave but normally lasts for the second and third.
It may feel like 5 seconds but how about you use a clock to get an accurate measurement
“Sold out, try again later.”
12 seconds. How long do you think it takes me to race through it just to get told It’s sold out?
this just an irl skill issue
back in the day you could buy the -m if you asked nicely via mail. even after kickstarter
No? Absolutely not. You are delulu.
Warbond or Store Credit?
Grrrr.
No u
Where did you see this?
On the cig website in the latest “this week in star citizen”
It is so over
I may or may not have bet my entire Reddit Reputation on the Idris actually existing this Invictus.

but i think idris is still possible for owner
why on earth would you edit the insurance timer when the release is at least 1 year away
to see the communities reaction and warm them up to the idea of long claim timer
if they updated the claim timer as they released idris then people would mald, this way they can say "hey look its been like that for a year"
i doubt people would really be that mad over a long claim time... right?
they increased all the claim times exponentially last year and the community forced them to reduce them from the push back
Yes we absolutely are.
So the Idris has less health than the Polaris now?
No. Still more. Just its core body has more health than the entire Polaris.
When did this happen?
i feel like the hp nerf is a bit unecesary, but i think making capital ships more sluggish is a great choice
but i think them adjusting the idris' stats even though they removed it from the bounties still promising i think
Who keeps pinging me?!?
Twice was me idk who was the first
Why not
This is harassment.
No this is SpongeBob
No, this is the Crusty Crab.
You’re a crusty crab
Nuh Uh!
That’s what the voices are telling me
Spend $15000 more dollars and the Idris M is yours.
I have the K and allegedly I’ll be able to get the better armor and possibly Torp room by rep
Plus i want the giant laser beam to cut ships in half
More idris copium! this video is from the perspective from the idris bridge
I feel the most amount of tension for the f5 war in 2 weeks, I feel like all these rumors might impact my chances, but then again I am so hype for the idris releasing
The Idris in theory would release before the f5 wars if it were to in fact release
Same.
If it gets more expensive, we are so done.
I would be very sad
I hope they wont do it, or atleast yet because for the polaris they gave a warning
it would be the best bad thing that could happen
Same.
Release it but make the this the last sale at this price.
and hopefully add some additional idrisses to the pool, if this would be the last sale for the price :)
Also agreed.
If it releases it will increase in price, guaranteed, and it'll likely be a bit higher than the usual 10/15% since it is so old and has never seen a price adjustment. I would expect $2,000 for the Idris-P, honestly, 1750 at the extreme low end.
I… would have to not buy an Idris. That is simply not worth it. $3K for Jav and $2K for a practically unarmed Idris is just sad.
The Javelin would also have a massive price increase when it releases.
True. But I want an Idris as a stopgap between my Polaris and a Jav. Hopefully.
Tbh if you can, WB it with a coupon. I committed mine a year ago when I got paranoid about a price increase, but I don't regret it.
Mayhaps. This IAE if I buy the Starlancer Trio pack now or now if the Starlancer Trio pack doesn’t come out.
Do you have the Invictus Schedule?
Thx!
Oh, hold on a minute. Aegis is before Mirai.
Why is Aegis Day 1?
Why is Aegis Day 1?
I think its a first, ever
I would have preffered day 2 myself but yeah....
It is coming.
the speculation is real but I think they might start invictus with a bang
I would have preferred after MISC Day so I can buy an Idris if bo Starlancer Trio pack.
I need to surive the F5 war, or else my idris dream is probably shattered
Real money?
I will be attempting to do it with store credit
I guess I might be able to earn an idris in game later too, but I kinda wanted to grab it so my fleet is just a hornet and idris so I have stuff to grind for, and still a base ship
That makes sense.
I made sure to have exactly 1.5k of store credit and I might potentially get a skin for it, since its leaked, and then the next time I will spend would be for squadron 42
Price will go up on release cause cig greedy af
But that’s any ship
True.
i remember when they released the -p and everyone laughed and thought this is a scam since the -m was available for only 1000$. now the -p is one of the most desirable ships in sc. it is kinda wild how the price hike for a worse ship is widely accepted
It is not at all desirable, it's just the cheapest hull limited and therefore special caps in the game. It's also one of the only 4 combat caps and the cheapest that isn't the Polaris.
its always sold out so it is desirable in my book
I would also say its the biggest capital ship that can be crewed by a smaller org
nah
I can’t wait to solo my Idris
box missions will go hard
Bunker as well
I finally have a place to store the hundreds of bodies from the bunkers
vlrt's wont know what him em
kinda curious if hauling missions with idris are viable
no idea about the fuel costs
Lol no. Even Idris P gets only 1/3rd more SCU, a more difficult time loading and unloading, and 12X the C2s fully manned crew costs.
I’m gonna use the hangar doors to eat them like a giant space whale
Idk cause if i fill that hangar with boxes then go nose down and shake them all out it seems pretty efficient
not sure this will work plus gotta load them into feight elevator and there is also elephant in the room: outposts are not meant for large volumes of cargo and i dont think hangars have enough clearing to allow this
What part of what i said seemed at all serious
none im just having fun
Well the whole thing was serious I’m gonna shake all my cargo out over POIs. The forecast calls for heavy showers 32scu crates of waste
Bulk ship waste to use as kinetic projectiles from orbit
idris tomorrow
WHERE IS OMNI MAN IDRIS
I DONT HAVE YOUR IDRIS, YOU HAVE MY IDRIS
It’s gonna be tragic when all these new additions are just for more NPC idrises
I say we riot should this be the case
I’m gonna start another.
idris p
if they release the p but not the m i will cry for weeks
subscribers t shirt also hints for the P version only
i dont see why they would hold off on the m
me neither but we are talking about CIG
Did this change with yesterday’s PTU? Looks like the same stuff to me
it just popped up in erkul, when a ship pops up in erkul its usually close to release
Oh really?
from what i have seen, yeah
The hopium grows I guess



so, how long ya'll think wave 3 for credit idris will stay up? 
haven't done the f5 wars before and debating on staying up to 4 am
I have doubts on wave 1 and 2
The later waves are faster, because people will still have them in their cart from wave 1 (and 2, for wave 3) to do a quick checkout with store credit
Best chance is wave 1
ah rip
I'm guessing wave 1 is like 5 seconds (at least for you)?
For the Idris, wave 1 might last like 30 seconds
If it is actually releasing, the price is going to be way higher. Might last longer, if so, and they might tinker with the quantity that they put out
I've got 1700 credits and I could put my arrastra into buybacks lol
so I think I'll be fine if it increases
hopefully more quantity 😭
The problem is that the site usually has issues right at the initial update for the day, so you might be stuck for a minute refreshing with errors while others are checking out :(
ah, I was checking my clock and it's perfectly synched (so no issues there), but being on the east coast might be an issue lmao
when do you usually start refreshing? I've heard people say 30 mins, some say 30 seconds
30-60 seconds before 16:00 UTC, and don't refresh too quickly, since too many requests to the site will get you temporarily locked out
ah
Ideally use two different browsers at the same time, run a refresh script on one that pauses the second you touch the window
so refresh every ~5 seconds before 1600
And if possible, get a second person to help
I'll probably use my laptop and put the script on that
put it right off to the side lol
It'll help, serves as a good fallback - just remember to have the store credit amount on your clipboard
yeah, I'll copy-paste it, I'd probably click the wrong button shaking 
I'm gonna work on my checkout game before may 15th probably
playing store citizen
It's pretty exhilarating when going for the big stuff with store credit at least. Getting the Javelin last year was super fun for me, even got the wife involved for that 
yeah, especially when you know the next time will be in 6 months
too bad concierge support doesn't really do special requests any more
I could requisition the brother

They'll probably do it if you want to WB it, but not store credit 
true, although the WB will probably still be up wave 3 if I fail at credits anyways
I really don't want to sink more new money though
If you're warbonding it, it'll essentially be guaranteed because it'll pop back to in-stock randomly throughout the rest of the sale, due to refunds/cancellations/failure to pay/etc
but yeah, same
yeah, peoples banks screwing them over 
if I was going for WB I honestly would be sunbathing outside drinking my morning tea right now instead of dying of worry
cause waiting another 6 months + possible price increase is beyond annoying
for the same exact game
Eh, don't FOMO yourself into it though
I committed my Idris early last year due to FOMO
felt bad locking that much credit away
I usually don't pledge stuff until I know they're pretty close (only exception being arrastra), so I'm always either worrying about FOMO or a price increase 
got my polaris right before the increase and finished my perseus meh CCU earlier this year
melted an m2 and corsair though for some credits, so not much lost
That's why I prefer to just hold all the CCUs in my hangar, soaks up a shitload of credit though
makes me immune to both price increases and FOMO
Can also just load up your buyback with links to everything, pull them with cash (if necessary) the second they hit the PTU, but you won't be immune to a random increase
yeah, I've still got a prowler to ironclad upgrade from last year that I probably won't use for another 1-2 years lol
worst case scenario I just ask support for a token 
they usually hand those out unless it's a bad day
still got 2 of them just incase I want to buyback the m2 or my old reclaimer (when they do a rework)
i know at least one guy who got the idris m because he asked nicely via mail
those were the days
back before concierge had thousands of people
the good times for support
honestly, it's probably well over 10,000 for concierge now
too many people with money
very unpleasant
did they ever release a number?
about how many concierges there are
ehh, there's probably like 10 million accounts, maybe ~6-8 million with actual starter ships/game packages
so 1% of that is a good estimation
which is ~100,000 if we assume 10 million is the number 
I'd say lower though
worst case scenario you do what I did and melt everything and buy the 6 grand package with the P in it
no f5 war required
I think if I melted everything it would still only be ~3.5k
only large ships I have pledged currently are polaris, arrastra, and perseus
yeah, only option is to try this ILW and get disappointed lol
if the rumors prove true and the idris does drop into our hands this ILW
it'll be a war for the history books
make black friday look like an empty candy store
even if it doesn't release, the hype is there, meaning it'll be harder than normal. I'm hoping that the quantity will increase from the heightened hype, or that if it does release this ILW, that the quantity will be much greater because it's no longer as special (+ price increase)
the price increase will hurt, I think the estimation of 2000 ish is accurate
maybe a little less
the polaris jumped up like 200 bucks I believe when it released
I think the polaris price increase was a little abnormal honestly
it was one of the oldest concepts and got probably the largest overhaul ever
only reason it's not 1k is because CIG would then have to hull limit and LTI it
Because they want engineering in first?
3 seconds.
Use an internet clock.
Every. Second.
Buybacks??
Yeah, I’ve got the page pulled up on my phone for the seconds lol
mayhaps
hopefully it reduces lag for legit buyers
idris release confirmed 
Doesn’t seem like there was any eluding to an idris release from the inside star citizen episode 😭
They talked about surprises and what not in there and a lot about the Idris P being on display. It’s not out of the realm of possibility.
The hopium is dying in me. Like I’ve stopped believing in Santa
the K-Kit of the Idris was supposed to have two 8x launchers to Stick on the frontal turret, even If they missle Size Looks a Bit big for what that Launcher was supposed to be (8x Size 3)
in your hangar
Yeah it’s for sure here now it’s a matter of trying to wait 7 more days
Anyone who has Idris in buyback needs to try to get it before release since they’ll prolly raise the price considerably
its bs, they made it so you cant use store credit on buybacks anymore
If you’re out of buyback tokens open a ticket and ask for more
no like i cannot spend store credit on buybacks, not that im out of tokens, or am i missunderstanding something
Tokens are how you use store credit for buybacks otherwise anything can be bought back with real money
Add it to cart and add the store credit if you have a buyback token
ooooooooooh, i thought it was one token per thing
thank you
Standalones still hold their price in buyback, no need to worry that much
Also if you run out and have a concierge account you just open a ticket and they’ll give you 2 more
what does this show me
It is coming. They showed off a K turret, talked it being in our hangar shortly, and gave us a shirt.
Until cig changes that overnight like they do
idris nerf 
Idris K missile turret.
Yeah it’s here for sure
That's the risk of using buyback as storage, yeah
and is it limited to those 2 tokens and thats it? or can i keep requesting them
Yeah
yeah definitely coming there’s a lot of hints now
Depends on your spend IMO. At high spend you can ask for 10 and they'll probably give it.
I’m pretty sure you can keep requesting it’s just days of waiting and the worst they can say is no wait for the next drop
1k is considered quite low spend right? also thank you
i do not have an idris in buyback im annoyed i didn’t get one at iae now
because i could’ve
snagged a warbond
now it finna be like 2k+ 😭😭
1k is the floor of concierge, so yeah, that is low
I tried but failed. If the price doesn’t skyrocket that much, I’ll get one. Otherwise: looks like I’m using my Jav for its loaner.
i thought you had one
$1K is the bottom 90% of the top 1%.
I refunded it a while back like, 3 days after I got it so I wasn’t $1K in debt to my parents. They just gave me a Sabre Firebird instead.
That’s like, a month of chores.
I only got it because It was Warbond and available and I didn’t think I would be able to get a Jav. Then I did get it for store credit so refunded it… and got that precious Firebird.
well at this point i’ll just save up money until IAE because i’m not gonna get into debt on a CC for this game or spend almost all the money i have in bank rn and if the price is raised it’s raised it can wait
the fomo was the price going up
but if it’s coming this ILW
i’ll just wait now
if it’s somehow not released
i’ll grab one
1.3k warbond smth light
1700 warbond not so light
I’ll melt my Origin pack and go for store credit round 2.
good riddance
1500 non warbond but yea.
when the price is raised
But if it doesn’t come out, I rebuy the Origin Pack.
the warbond could be 1.7
So you had better hope it comes out.
or more
i’m hoping it DOESNT come out
so i can buy one 😭🙏🏻
but it fucking will
i can tell
idris shirt
idris tour
idris themed stuff going on like the turret “into your hangars” or whatever
the stress test
everyone getting updated leaks and files on the idris
people miraculously finding idris in 4.1.1
like almost player idris
it’s coming 💔💔
I’m torn but kinda am hoping for a last chance sale and release at the current pricing.
that would be great
if CIG actually did that but they won’t
but who knows
this is the first time a huge priced concept is released
and there’s no CCUs
no 2nd chances on grey market
so they might do exceptions here
it’s also limited sales so many people who have wanted one for years aka me still don’t have one
so hopefully they sell more than 2 this time and at a last time price
Isn’t it 100 per wave?
i have no idea they sell out in 2 seconds anyway
But yea, that would be… good.
yea idk how much they sell
unless you’re buying a whole account but that’s just stupid
no account merging, can be taken back
you have to effectively start fresh
change names etc
all your ships on your last account have to either be gifted over or whatever if they’re GM as well you’re cooked
There's a lot of hints but, shouldn't they be testing the damn thing by now in PTU if they're gonna release it?
ILW starts next week, you really think they'd hold testing it back until day of?
they have
Aren’t they?
with the polaris stress tests
and lots of people in PTU have somehow got ahold of idris
Why ever switch accounts though?
that was the high level ambush mission right?
that’s what i’m saying buying a GM account is dumb
that's what was spawning idrises
idk haven’t played PTU or looked
just seen vids of people flying and reviewing the idris
in ptu
so that’s kinda a test
if they drop a playable idris in
leave it to the players to do the rest
Yeah that was from the high level ambushes that used to spawn idris instead of hunt the polaris thing
what else is there to test?
not many people in the grand scheme even have an idris
if you give them an idris via a mission and disguise it as not a test
would that not be a better test?
making sure it works on the ASOP? That it'll spawn correctly in the extra large hangars?
Making sure the vehicle manager works on it?
now that can be done internally under wraps or even at live worst case
if the polaris works
It was from those ambush missions initially before they changed the target to a Polaris (or swapped the mission, idk)
It just doesn't really add up to me. The polaris hit PTU long before it was in live
even iris doesn’t know 💔💔💔 we cooked
yeah that was a loud launch i think for something as big as the idris i can see it being done this way
Pretty much everything worked when I had one from that
this is what i mean it’s basically a playable ship
why else would they be dropping that in if it wasn’t ready for release
I've seen sadder ILWs ngl
or doing all that work to get it flight ready to not release it
Yeah, the medical room and missile room being finalized and implemented was huge
fr
it’s 2025 tho
only thing bigger than 2025 would be 2030 for something massive yk
I do and I know it’s coming!
It looks done for sure, I own one and I'd love nothing more than to see it in player hands this ILW
Why did they remove the doors though?
I just dont' wanna get my hopes up without solid proof that it's gonna come to us next week
and with 600 player meshes what’s holding it back now
Those still bug out I guess.
there won’t be solid proof until it’s in PTU (if ever) or until ILW
right now they’re just giving a lot of hints
Nothing.
but i really think it will come
Huh??
Which is what I find odd, when if not today or friday can they get this out to PTU to get enough testing time?
i don’t think the percy is coming and lots of people are playing for that
but that is not happening
Unfortunately same.
i feel like they have to keep the hype build yk like let us wonder and sink in
let it marinate
If they kick it out to player hands in PTU monday, the 15th is thursday?
marinade
it’s definitely not coming not a chance
They gonna fix things in 3 days? Seems really ambitious
but i think idris is a solid chance
it’s cig do you remember what they did with the polaris and pyro?
pyro
threw it out to meet the deadline
fix it later
I remember the polaris was a train wreck when it launched
yep
We had lots of testing as far back as Citcon an entire year earlier.
Yeah fair point
even AFTER ptu btw
It still is.
idris is in a much better state imo than polaris even after release
all the rooms seem to be unlocked for 1
I hate that they gave me one as a loaner
it’s got a railgun
I want that shit gone
Agreed.
The Idris is also ugly and useless but at least it isn’t quite as useless.
Same.
at the top of this picture it says smth like “military might in your hangar” at the idris expo, idris is a playable state in PTU with the ships in ambush missions or were idk
idris shirt
idris K turret
cig employee saying “with capital ships just starting to come out now”
The hunts in question:
i think it looks awesome
i love the hangar doors
and the way the bridge goes upwards
with windows on the corridors up
i like the desks watching over the flight bag too
that’s it
do you think the new idris model is also ugly?
that do be like an ILW exhibit tho
^
they tryna sell you shit
I’m hoping it’s in the next ptu build
plus that's like an in universe thing.
^
Obviously lore wise you can buy that shit.
You can buy it now but it’s not been in my hangar
It’s too square and the railgun is massive and hangs off but… it generally looks fine. The lack of doors makes it look quite sleek but unfortunately that is also a massive crippling vulnerability.
No. The new one looks good if I remember correctly.
said this as a joke but it’s a possibility who knows
hoping it doesn’t tho 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
need that current price
after it’s in my BBs they can do whatever they want
release it whenever
😈🙌🏻
honestly the javelin looks cool and the polaris looks alright but i think the idris is my fav capital
the hangar doors and flight deck sells it
the bridge is awesome
i like the med bay
the argo cargo hangar
No it ain’t!
the overview of the hangar with all the screens are also awesome
the briefing room is cool too
i won’t be using that but
The bridge is cool and the flight deck is as well but the boxy body and giant gun hanging down. Far too square.
i like it
the gun looks a bit weird but
Now that we know it’s here do we have a list of ships that should fit
it’s a big gun
i’d rather have a big silly gun than
a small dogshit gun
yk

who did that
bet it was brist
omg it wasn’t
the reaction
Agreed.
Oh, I dunno.
this ILW i want an idris P get the K kit later
MTC, gladius valiant again
and ironclad assault
🙏🏻
my cutter to connie aquila to starlancer tac will be used for that ironclad
because like
the assault does everything the tac does and more but better
for the same crew
or less
idk if tac has 7 or 6 crew
i think 6+ engineer
maybe the same as the ironclad
i think that’s 6+ engineer
i think it’s 7 if you include the fury pilot and 8 with the engineer maybe
so let’s call it 6 crew
both 6 crew
or atleast both can be ran decently with 6 crew
to mostly optimal effectiveness
I have 2 K kits. I was going to request Devs make a 4 S9 to 2 S10 converter but they read my mind.
i think the K kit is always on GM as an absolute worst case
but idk
they did that?
i’m confused
and why tf you got TWO k kits
i must say the guardian MX has a much cleaner dash than the other 2
i really like it
shame the QI is my favourite
It is always available as long as you own an Idris.
i don’t want a missile boat
oh bet
It has 2 S10 turrets instead if 4 S9 now.
1 for each laser on 1 of the turrets. Should I make it 4?
why the hell di you need 4
has the kit not got enough lasers to turrets?
idk what’s even in the kit apart from remote turrets
a missile turret
and that’s it
that’s all i remember except ik it’s better than both the M and P
oh laser beam
don’t forget the laser beam
an idris M with a K kit would be the dream for sure
upgrade P to M and install K
So I can have 4 S10 Beam Lasers.
you can only use 1
S10 Exodus Laser Beam.
i…. don’t know if that’s how it works
Pre Bladed remote turrets.
yeah the in game M upgrade whenever that’s added with crafting for sure
That’s… why I have so many.
I think it will be.
do you have 4 mounts for said 4 laser beams?
surely your trolling
or just 1 mount
for 1 of those 4 laser beams
look brist i know flight blades and stuff are coming but i think you need atleast 4 people with 4 idris to use those you can’t just be in 1 idris and use 4 idris at once 
I think do, yes.
Jav used to have 2 X quad S9. I think they were upgraded to 2 X Twin S10.
Tell me what 2 X 2 is.
yeah but the railgun is bespoke
4….
your not putting an ares s7 on another ship
Ok but the lasers aren’t.
And I’m putting these on my Javelin.
the s10 laser is bespoke
you cant take the railgun off to put the lasers on surely
and the lasers are for the idris
yk the idris K kit
Are you sure?
S10 is S10. It should fit just fine.
i’d be surprised if the Idris K weapons can be used on something that isn’t an idris
except is it not idris locked?
this is like putting a
theres no reason to think its not especially when you need the spine mount to even mount it
Why wouldn’t they bev
No?? It’s a separate weapons kit. I can mount them on anything of the proper size.
ares s7 on a perseus
its an idris weapon kit
it’s an idris P aftermarket weapons kit*
i think you’re missing out the idris part
not capital ship weapon kit
S10 is S10. It’s called the Exodus S10 beam, not Idris Spinal beam, not Polaris Main Turret, not Hornet Ball Turret. It has a name so it must be modular.
the hornet ball turret has a name…
by that logic i can use my ares s7 on percy right?
What?
Is it called Ares S7?
no
What is it called?
SF7E laser cannon
…Then yes, maybe.
TMSB-5?
....
C4-160f??
I better bot have wasted all this money.
(hornet ball turret) in fairness
Oh well, I still have remote turrets.
it does have hornet ball turret in the game so i’ll give you that
but the heart seeker does not
it would be cool if it wasnt bespoke
Exactly!
I want my Exodus Laser Javelin.
that’s 1 of 5 examples
i think this is so not nerds can know what it is
without googling it

good luck 

i’ll do you a deal on that 2nd K upgrade if it doesn’t work 😈🙌🏻
16 wikelo credits for it
The Jav turret was made larger though. It used to be different. See the old model?
I still need my remote bladed PDCs.
Isn't it just M9As now?
Nope. It got larger. M9As are the secondaries.
old turret looks sm cooler 💔
the wikelo credits idk i forgot
i think it looks different because its an older version of the javelin, squadron does take place a few hundred years before sc i believe
no like
the quad turret
looks way more menacing
than the dual turret that’s better
it’s not hundred years bro 💔
The new one looks cooler but the old one has definitively modular guns. I dunno what the new one has.
it’s 10 years ago from today’s star citizen year
when it was 2016 (2946) is when squadron was set
now it’s 2955
Oh… wait, what? Was it… downsized??
at the end of squadron we are retired veterans star citizen takes place for us after our service in the vanduul war
which is why we are allowed to buy military vessels of such calibre
as we are a war hero
our valour carries us that far
and shi
so
10-9 years ago squadron was
when/if the game comes out in 2026
Oh… oh no.
it will be 10 years
as we will be in 2956
and it took place in 2946
well
well
2945-2946 was the actual timeframe i think
That’s… not good.
what?
ah
Mayhaps we do still have these other guns.
the game is set 930 years in the future tho from present time and goes 1:1 from there
would’ve been easier for everyone if they picked 900 years or 1000 years in the future
but it’s fine cig thanks
I'm pretty sure we're allowed to buy military shit because of the militia mobilization act
that as well
not because we're war heroes
capitals were planned to be arriving alongside squadrons release
because normal citizens can’t have them
and us after completing our service would then get them i guess
who knows now
we have to WORK for citizenship now
in 1.0
Militia Mobilization Initiative (MMI) was created by the UEE in 2946 to embolden the general public to help defend the Empire from the Vanduul and other aggressive forces. To facilitate the arming of new militias or home defense units, they will be able to purchase a variety of military-grade and specialty ships. In addition, a government subsid...
Wait, it surely isn’t… Mandatory, is it?
and as war heroes that’s kinda silly
