Hi.
Yesterday, there was a sale on the bundle for Nightingale (I think this was the name) recon premium ship.
I sunk 4k galactic in to it, giving me 128/400 parts.
This is one of the ships you can do daily quest to get 1 box for.
My plan was to grind for the rest of the parts, doing dailys and so on.
Today, I cant find the ship in the list.
Am I completly blind, or does Ganjin owe me about 4K galactic?
They locked the ship and you’re not allowed to get it, because it’s P2W. They want you to spend around 10-12k GS, all at once, because it’s time limited event.
Well the info from the [offical announcement](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/33329-nightingale-returns-deal-of-the-day-50-off-ship-components/#comment-396923) said the following:

Wow, you’re right, they took it off the ship tree entirely.

Yes, it’s sad. Nightingale is the only ship that breaks the rule of free to play. You actually you have to P2W in order to obtain it, at least to some extent.
I farmed some containers daily, but then they removed them too quickly, so I ended up with only 95 parts.
This is something that I cannot grant as positive. This ship that is locked behind limited time paywall event.
Other equipment for the Guards was also locked behind such GS event, which was available for a limited time.
Do you at least keep the parts when (IF) it returns? Sheesh…

You keep the parts, but you cannot buy more or farm more, unless when it comes back during Sale Event.
It’s really hard for me to express how much I hate this scarcity tactic.
Here they bother making new content, ships, and modules for the game… and then make it only available for small time frames to get panic purchases.
Good on you, all who ignore these stupid things. Everyone who gets drawn into it… just stop, please? You’re only encouraging them.
I bet the people who make those events profitable don’t even visit the forum or read the chat, so there’s nothing to discourage them from it.
Yes, the game needs money to run. No, you don’t need to make everyone act like desperate animals to earn it.
I might be wrong here but i guess that the dessie sales bring them enoug money as well considering how many crates you need at bare minimum just to build 1 dessie for any rank. If you wanna have all dessies for R8 and R11 you surely spend easily over 300 bucks if you wanna skip the boring/tedious farming of the Neo/Bery stuff.
Since when is nightingale relevant other than collecting purposes?

I dunno, cloaking everyone in a 1km radius is kind of a nifty bit of utility, especially with these gargoyles popping EM-tuned guards in half a second with rapid fire bosons.
Nightingale will have another 1 day event in the future. So I guess if you can save up GS till then, maybe you have a chance. For now, you might need to try to get GS via trading or another method if there is one
Your wallet is still valid for GS. The only reliable source of course.
Back to topic: Funny. I thought there will be some problems with this one day happening as I read it. xD
that ship cost like 11k what is aprox 30-35 euro. For that money you can buy a better game…

You can do that cloak thing with every guard in the game so it’s not that unique, the ship is nothing special but if you want it you will probably have to buy it.

Well for me all ships only would have the “collectors” value (even the dessies somehow but this is another story) but i´m not really willing to pay money for something i could farm my way through. Such sales are more or less for those who think that they can make an good deal and before they know it the money is already “gone”.

That might be the case but even for that money a game can be totaly “crap” in the end so yeah you could even say:

Not in Tournaments or T3 dreads. Its a good ship, but very squishy, even more than Hawk-Eye.
Nightingale sale rather will be back after a while, it’s second time it appeared for one day after it’s removal.
The ship is honestly nothing special and i get that cringe feeling whenever i see someone gunning for something below t4 grade. It’s clearly a unique thing and if you dont like the way its going then dont support it. Hating on something and supporting it with real money is probably not the best way of saying “hey i dont like this man”.
It is sad to hear, but I bet it will come back later on.
I got the ship but it’s was a big disappointment… the drone maker deal no dmg, you have to farm again to get the spacial module (who is useless), the ship is weak, it’s a low rank ship, the masking station is useless without a great team and you barely feel any difference with the dmg boost.
But hey the ship look nice tho
