EpisparhWell, thanks for sharing that completely irrelevant information. Have a nice day.

Seriously? Your question was relevant was it? Asking if a ship is available 3 month after its release, take some doing...

And btw you're not the only player on this forum, I'll have a better day once I'll have blocked you. Bye.

Devil's Advocate: I believe the individual was asking if the ship was available to buy for CR (credits), and if he'd heard correctly when that time frame was. So yes, the question was relevant considering they, like others, seems to prefer waiting to purchase the ship with in-game credits rather than spending real money on it. The fact that the vessel was/is available for ARX bears little relevance to his question of when it can be purchased for in-game credits or, who purchased it for ARX prior to it being made available to those who prefer not to spend ARX to obtain it.

One can, of course, always choose to purchase and spend the ARX in order to help support the game, or to get what amounts to early access to an item or feature. And that, like choosing not to use ARX, is a personal choice.

Sooo, no Carrier jumps under an hour and a half or so? Anyway, got my Mandalay, the "Gallifrey" (Callsign N3-WHO) and without minmaxing and only mild engineering it jumps already around 72 LY. Noice!

I also got myself a second one (yeah, I know, I'm FDev's bitch... but so are we all!) and this lady is going to become an AX machine, called the "Eye of Harmony".

I asked if it is available for CR. I am well aware it is available for Arx and also pretty sure everyone here knows you have it as you usually spam here pictures and your personal opinion during first days of early access.

I turned the Mandalay to 82 light years. There's something else going on. If you leave out the vehicle hangar (weighs 6 t) and install a D-power plant, you can still get a few light years out of it. Someone on YouTube made it 90 light years away.

You BOTH missed something, the link I provided him with my first reply was that of the YELLOW TYPE-8 STANDARD, NOT the premium TYPE-8 STELLAR, I have BOTH of them and for a good while now.

And missing such an information is just showing how little interest one can have about the game, the ship have been on the INARA list of ships and is hard to miss.

Whoa, not bad! I just don’t want to make it too paper thin as regards shields, but have to mass manager the FSD and strip down one or two things. It handles very well though. And I‘d be curious about its thermal values. Sadly, EDSY doesn’t seem to update anymore, at least an hour ago there was no Mandalay.[/quote]

The shield strength is 161. 3D shield generator improved low energy shields and experimental effect high capacitors. Should be enough. 2A power plant overload level 5 and thermal vent. 4D thrusters dirty drive tuning level 5 and experimental drag drive effect. Speed 385 and Boost 481. When recharging the fuel at the star, the Mandalay is at 54 percent. A very good value.

I will be following you guy's post on the Mandalay build very closely, but to be honest I still don't know what I'm gonna use her for, I keep my Krait Phantom as Multi-role Long range rescue ship and will be doing most of my long range trips with my FC...

So, medium range exploration is the most logical use I'll have for her.

You can buy it because you paid for early access with Arx. For everyone else it will be available on 28th November. Hence, your link is a false information for people who didn't paid for early access.
Once a ship's early access is paid you can get 1st with special modules and hull and it makes the ship available for CR but for you ONLY. (plus all others who paid for early access)

I haven't asked for that in my initial question.

P.S. Kasumi already confirmed what I've heard and wasn't sure about.

The MODIFIED GUARDIAN PLASMA CHARGER are nice to have and very efficients but Synthesis is a nightmare and I ran our of ammo in CZs a couple of time already.

The key to my survival in a CZ flying the Krait MK II is patience, I have to lase the target long enough for the Weapon charge to be fully achieved since most of the time I Pip X 4 System to recover some %age of shield and X 2 Weapons.

I'm thinking about trying the Modified Gauss Cannons, if anyone tested them vs Human-made ships, the information will be welcome.

You might need to give it a week until the next cycle to see if any pop up under the new system. It's likely none were added with the update, leaving it to the players to create them.
