Question about buying ships for Arx

[Blue Shadow]

If I buy one of the ships for Arx when I am on my carrier, will it be put in the shipyard there or somewhere else? I am on my carrier right now.

You will switch to the new ship at the station you are buying it at...The ship you are in will be stored...If you have the ability to buy ships at your carrier, it should work the same way...Not sure...I do not sell ships off of my carrier...

You can deploy the arx-unlocked ship on your carrier any time, but you can only have one.

An ARX ship should work the same way...Switch to it at the station you are at and your current ship will be stored...Don't quote me though...I have never bought an ARX ship...Maybe I will get the new Mandalay and see how it works...

The thing is, I am nowhere near a station, I am on my carrier out in the black. Do I have to go to a station to buy a ship for Arx? I was hoping I could buy the Mandalay for Arx from my carrier and it would go to the shipyard there.

Yes, only one of the pre-builts that you can access from any shipyard. You can however buy additional ships of the same type for regular credits if you own the pre-built though. It's why many people say you shouldn't engineer the pre-built. You lose the functionality of having it at any star port whenever you want (or lose the engineered modules).

No need to travel anywhere. Once you've bought it, it will be an option on the right when you go to your carrier shipyard. Or any other shipyard.

Pah, been there done that. Not with the Mandalay, obviously lol.

Any word on how many Arx it will cost or can someone point me at a post, I can't find anything. Mostly bc I am dumb.

The first two were around 16800 for the basic unlock and 33200 or so for the unlock + a mildly engineered/a-rated prebuilt + ship kit + paint job.

Ok, that's a great help, thanks.
