Vult Gone

When i started with my skill levels i could buy vults.... for some reason now i cant buy them :(... any idea's?

The levels have been switched around with the recent update. The mark IIs, IIIs and IVs have made levels not worth *as* much, but still a lot.

Chaos: there are many stations that don't sell you vultures.
Some of that probably has to do with your standing with the local faction, but I've found that nontheless, when I'm in serconian territory, only certain stations sell you the vulture.

danielky: eh? they're cheaper? I thought they were cheap before... but if there's been a price decrease I certainly don't mind! :D

Well, I haven't been to every station, but from what I've seen, I have several ships I didn't have before the update, including mark IIs, IIIs, and IVs. I don't remember if I still had a vult, but I had a rag, which I'm sure I didn't have before the update. So the devs either switched around the levels, or I had it and totally don't remember (I'm 99% sure I didn't have it).

Go back to your nation capital's station. That's usually the station with the most complete list of ships you'll have access to with your current skill levels. Most other stations have a limited choice.

I actually had the same experience as Chaos... as a matter of fact I had a Mk III (IV)? Vult in my inventory the first day of 3.5.0 and the next day it was gone along with the ability to buy vultures. My guess is that the devs switched the levels around some without doing a full update.

For Sercos, they seem to be around the Neutral Border station. Which is odd.. sorry, I don't remember the galaxy name, but it is in J-15.. which is the only place I've found I can get the Serco Defence Vult (which is a nice ship). I honestly think you should be able to get this in Sol II, Serco's capitol.

Also, the Neutral sectors have most of the Vults and Hornets. Same with that Border Galaxy.

But Itani got lots of new stuff, so too bad for the rest of you. :D

if you're looking for serco guardian vult, one of the station that has it is Pyronis system sector J-15. it's also a great trade route stop and has a warphole to Helios system.

rogue: hey now don't be smug! the guardian vulture really rocks! :) (I've heard some nice things about the Itani border centurion, but the cent's acceleration wasn't all that great... we'll have to see if that's changed)

Affirmative - Pyronis j-15 for Serco Guardian Vult - but curiously when I started I was able to buy Prom's but I can't now... anybody know where they are...?

Spacecowboy, the skill levels have been tweaked with the last update so that you can't anymore. Before the new universe was released you couldn't buy some of the specials with the same skill levels anyway, so I'd consider it more as a fix. Start leveling up!
