"Fortuna 2024 sale coverage
TLDR: C2 and Mercury have Warbond CCU."
The Fortuna event is approaching on March 17th, and there are various War Bond CCU options available for players to consider. The C2 Hercules is one of the highlighted ships, offering about $30 in savings. However, the choices for CCU options are limited, with ships like the Glaive, Phoenix, Endeavor, and Constellation Phoenix Emerald being either limited edition or concept ships. The Caterpillar and Starfarer Gemini are mentioned as solid choices, with the Caterpillar being a more established and versatile option. The C2 Hercules is praised for its hauling capabilities and is considered a great ship, especially for those who may already have a Merchantman.
Moving on to the Mercury Star Runner (MSR), players can save $20 with the available War Bond CCU options. The Cutlass Blue and Taurus have had multiple War Bond sales in the past, making them reliable choices. The Defender and Terrapin are also mentioned, with the Scorpion being highlighted as a potentially more frequent option based on its previous availability. The importance of avoiding concept ships in CCU choices is emphasized, as their prices are likely to increase once they are fully released.
When considering the best value play for the MSR, the Cutlass Blue is suggested as it offers a $20 saving with a $5 spend. The Taurus is a slightly less favorable option with a $10 spend for the same saving amount. It is advised not to choose concept ships like the Railen for CCU, as their prices are expected to rise upon release. The importance of making strategic CCU choices to maximize savings and avoid unnecessary spending is highlighted throughout the discussion.
The absence of any new War Bond deals for standalone ships is noted, but there is anticipation for potential changes in the store leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. The availability of new paints, specifically the Fortuna paint pack, is mentioned as an addition to the event. The text ends with a reminder that the Fortuna event is approaching, and there may be further updates or changes to the CCU options and store offerings during the event period. Overall, players are encouraged to make informed choices when selecting CCUs to save money and optimize their ship upgrades during the event.
