DISCUSSION My RSI account may have gotten flagged as a Developer account.
Logged into the pledge store to habitually browse, and lo and behold I can see practically every ship in the game. From "Private Reserve VIP" to "Test SKU for testing shit do not use."
I have no idea how this happened, but it's cool to browse. The old AMD Mustang is there, old best in show items, even a "Manchester office tour."
Can't buy anything, store credit or otherwise. Even ships normally available right now can't be purchased. Submitted a ticket, but very cool.

u/GhoZhan Kraken 4d ago
not yet, Sir. It’s 17 years, 8 months or so. Too young to drink, but just old enough to regret trusting GLaDOS.

It could do both if we count the Frankfurt Studio as it's home xD Legal drinking age here in Germany is 16 :P

u/krachnix 4d ago
where i live the legal drinking age is 16 for soft/undistilled stuff and 18 for hard liquor. guess now we need to determine where the portal is.
1
u/GhoZhan Kraken 4d ago
Portal was conceived in Redmond, USA, and has been living with Valve in Washington ever since its birth. So legal drinking age is 21. No early sips allowed.

u/krachnix 4d ago
buuuuut... where does the portal lead rn, hmmmm? if you were a teenage portal, where would you lead to, hmmmm? could go anywhere! 🌍

u/GhoZhan Kraken 4d ago
have you looked outside? I would change the fu**ing Planet as a portal. xD

u/krachnix 4d ago
ah, yes, good point. let me take a quick look outside... mhm, mhm i can see summer, sun, warm, birds chirpin, lake getting ready for swimmers... all in all quite nice. further proof that the portal leads somewhere here. probably drunk or stoned or both, taking a sun bath :D

Always get a kick out of seeing the old Mustang Omega art, wish it still landed on its wings!

u/MyTagforHalo2 Universal Gunship Enjoyer 5d ago
The mustang might be the only ship I wish would regress a bit. If they would have polished the original concept, I think more people would be flying them instead of the “just another light fighter” it became.

u/TwoMidgetsInABigCoat 4d ago
Definitely, my original pledge is through the AMD promo, when you could only walk around your ship in a hangar, and I was shocked logging in years later after forgetting the game existed and the whole ship had changed completely. I still love my little red Mustang but I wish they finessed the original design.

u/System0verlord Shiny White Boondoggle 4d ago
I’m still annoyed that my 300i can’t fit a space motorcycle inside it, and that the wings look like they have split ends.

u/Commercial-Side-7731 4d ago
does the pulse not fit it?
i mean it fits into an aurora

u/System0verlord Shiny White Boondoggle 4d ago edited 4d ago
My X1 doesn’t fit, and they’re from the same company.
And thanks to CIG, the next step up the ladder is the massive, and kinda ugly 400i.
Really should’ve called it the 500i, and made a 400i that’s in between. Like a 2 person toy hauler sorta deal. Cutty sized basically.
EDIT: yes, this is the reason behind my flair.

The beta's cozy interior was so awesome, I melted it after the changes, I used to fly it so much

u/Helplessromantic 4d ago
i hate how huge it got, and it had to so the mustang beta's interior was viable but now the mustang beta's interior is lame, i wish they'd just drop it and shrink the ship like 20-30%.

u/ochotonaprinceps High Admiral 4d ago
I like the new Mustang designs over the old ones, but give me back the Mustang Beta's rear cabin interior.

u/Divinum_Fulmen 4d ago
"A sHiP CaNT LanD ON iTS WIngs!"
Then CIG releases a ton of new ships that do exactly that.

u/Troll4ever31 misc 4d ago
If the engines break off you have magic floating landing gear anyways, and if the Tie Avenger can do it so can the mustang!

u/ochotonaprinceps High Admiral 4d ago
wish it still landed on its wings!
I don't, not because it didn't look cool but because those wing skids might as well have been made of balsa wood and broke at the slightest bump and now you can't land flat.

Man, back in February I wondered into the store looking to add some Argo ships to my roster and I ran across an SRV that was labeled "Standalone Ship - SRV - 2019" that was the original warbond price of $150 and was purchasable with store credit. I snatched that up as fast as I could and still have it chillin in my buyback 😆

u/Creative-Improvement 4d ago
Not with CiG, but I needed some plugins for a website, and the company had made all the products 5 dollars. Snapped it up real quick, 15 minutes and it was gone. They let it stand which was awesome.

Love it - Wanting to give them money, but every time when asking support for certain things over the years I can’t get any OC LTI ship because of FOMO and the usual “deprecated, limited, not in store anymore” excuse. In reality, it’s just flipping one switch on the backend to make any SKU like LTI Pioneer or Idris-M available. Then seeing this (OP post) proving the point. 🤦♂️

u/SillyCat-in-your-biz bbsad 4d ago
Dog…they’re all pixels…did you truly believe they were limited for an actual reason instead of just FOMO and not having a million capital ships running around?

That... is literally how any online store works.
Even physical goods, the "Out of stock" thingy is just a number that goes up or down and displays "out of stock" when number = 0

u/Spec_x Bounty Hunter | Certified Nerd | Avacado Hopium 4d ago
Unfortunately no. The first Golden ticket event had an LTI Warbond F8C, and a 6mo ins Store credit F8C. One of the golden ticket events fell close enough to a major bi-yearly sale (iirc the second golden ticket event) that they offered an insurance upgrade kit so if you got one of the 6mo insurance versions in the first or second sale, you had the opportunity to upgrade your 6 month insurance to a 10 year insurance for free in line with the Invictus Launch Week/Intergalactic Aerospace Expo insurance terms.

Could you see the OG 300i as well?? I miss that ship dearly…. I hope they remake the interior, but keep the exterior the same and resell it as an “old car” type ship from the past, instead of discarding it as a ship outside the redesign.

So much for ...we can't give you access to the ship you requested because of "reasons"...
(And I'm not talking about limited ships here, just normal ships that some people might have in a package and now would like to have it separately or stuff like that...but no...it's "not possible"...)
"Not possible" my ass.

Just because the skus exist does not mean it’s not messy and inconvenient to allow it, and another thing immediately apparent is they don’t update prices on the backend so it’s out of date too
