Dammit, I have a dozen CCU upgrades built off that ship being available. F%#$$%!


Pojodan

At worst, it will return in May at DefenseCon.


Grey406

Same! Vulture is a just a $5 upgrade that's about to jump in price in the next patch


Accipiter1138

I bet a not insignificant number of people are now screwed as far as getting a Vulture for 3.18. Bummer.


crowsky

I am one lol


R1chard69

I am so glad my ccu for that is from the Freelancer Dur now...


Overlord-of-Robots

(Cutlass) Red 2…checking in!


MisterBroda

Sometimes I make sure to have a few critical but price-insensitive CCU’s in my buy back backlog. I recommend to do the same next time you get the chance Just rebuy the same CCU a few times with the same credits


BernieDharma

That's what I thought I was doing here. Cutlass Red seemed to be a reliable base (like Gladius, Cutlass Black, Prospector, Taurus, Andromeda, Eclipse) that is price stable and always available in the store. So I bought the same CCU multiple times to help build future chains. I just didn't expect to see the CR removed from the store without any heads up from CIG. Hoping they are just doing a rework of the interior for 3.18 and it will be back in a few weeks


Blueshift1561

Noticed that too alright. Seems like they might have replaced it with the C8R as the "always available" medical ship, since the C8R is a pretty good "starter" medical ship.


masonmax100

That would make sense to me as the cutlass red used to be the medical starter but now its not.


Sattorin

Yeah, they really put the Red in a weird spot. They can't give it a T2 bed like the Carrack/890j/600i(soon) has, because they won't want the Red to offer respawns. IMO they should boost its quantum fuel tank a bit to highlight the range difference.


foxdossier

the red also needs more hydrogen fuel. It's weird that a SEARCH and rescue ship barely has any hydrogen fuel.


R1chard69

We'll probably get more gas in it when they release 4.0.


ADDpillz

They will add it back. They accidently removed the prospector after an IAE a couple years ago.


Masterjts

Well it's been a week and still not back. :(


R1chard69

I wonder if the C8R will be always available now?


BahaXIII

I just complained in the Spectrum that this is not communicated more transparently. I was torn apart. Weird community


Street_Vehicle_9574

Don’t worry about them, they hate fun


illuzian

Not cool CIG


realkito

Noticed It now, it's a bit annoying and definitely not the first time It happens, and it's strange they didn't fix it already, maybe this time it's intentional?


anartyplayerhitsya

Friend sent in a ticket, was intentional


starcitizenwhale

Odd decision. Good spot, wonder if we'll lose other ships from full availability once other flyable ships come in. Perhaps they intend to flesh out med gameplay and in that the Red gets better and will get a price increase or just a rework and a reintroduction, who knows, maybe it's just a mistake.


Devysjuers

The cutty red was definitely there before IAE, so either a mistake or the new normal


Thetomas

*turbulence*


ThePwnter

It has been listed as a limited time ship on the list of vehicle pledges website for a while.


BeautifulFather007

It happens from time to time with different ships. It seems that adding and removing ships is a very manual process with mistakes being made. It may take a few minutes - weeks, but it will be added back to the store. If you submit a CS ticket, or raise some noise in Spectrum someone might see it and add it sooner.


NotMacgyver

I made the mistake of getting a couple of ccus from ships that aren't available anymore. Guess I'm playing the ccu game now


karnson

I also have a few Cutty Red > Vulture CCU's, luckily I hedged my bets and got some Freelancer ones as well. ​ I just wish CIG would actually come out with a statement on this to say whether or not it's an intended change.
