Absolutely and it ' s been said before in this sub but all the people enjoying the game are playing it , not talking shit online . Especially here people seem to forget it ' s a tiny segment that think this way , it becomes an echo chamber . <| sep |> If this was my only ship starting out , would I be okay ? Seems like I could do some massive cargo runs and afford at least a starter ship pretty quickly at release . Since there is not much info but lots of rumors it ' s hard to say how much crew you ' ll need . Some say you need 8 to fully man it , including turrets and engineering , others say you can fly it alone with limited combatengineering capacities . I know I ' ll try to start with a BMM and see how it goes , might be a nice challenge Is it possible to buy this , melt it and just buyback closer to release ? Does it have a loaner now ? The buyback would be the same price of the ship as it would be at the time of the buyback , so it could be $ 500 at that point if it ' s greyboxed or hangar ready . And the current loaner is a Constellation Andromeda
