UNIQUE SHIPS!

[First_Prime]

Greetings Everyone,

This question is for anyone who can provide some answers but I think only the server veterans or hard core Discovery players would be able to shed some light on this topic.

I have a question regarding three unique ships which are as follows:

1. VHF "Obsidian"

2. Council Battleship "Redemption"

3. Outcast Light Carrier Prototype RM-2X CVL "Misericorde".

I would like to know if any of those ships existed on this server in the past. If they have existed, then the next question is if any of them are still around today. When I say around I mean that some players on the server actually have them. Also, if they are around what IDs would they be using.

Thank you Everybody

The Obsidian belongs to @aerelm, it’s his personal SRP.

The council battleship is a rusty Gallic battleship, some people still have these from the old council days.

The Outcast light carrier is also an old SRP. I think one or two still exist on the server somewhere.

2. Still traded at times. If you are lucky, you can find someone who is willing to sell one very expensively.

3. Last "Misericorde" I saw in game belonged to Shadow of IRMM (OC faction). Was faction's SRP. Nowadays, I guess, you won't find it flying. Perhaps, as an Outcast you can SRP one.

Thank you Squiglly and Gardarik for the information!!!

I think I will try to buy some of those ships starting with the Outcast Light Carrier Prototype. Having 30% hull of its sister ship, Outcast Battlecruiser Hasta, it is not much of a combat ship but I like the way it looks.

Speaking of buying it, I think I will offer a REWARD of 50 or more SCIENTIFIC DATA to anyone who can help to facilitate an acquisition of this ship.

Once again, I would like to thank both of you for the information that was provided, it was very helpful.

Thanks guys!

Define 'buy'. As the person with probably the most individually accessed Unique ships (Sirene, Minuit), on the server, these ships take years of RP to produce. You have to be prepared to put in a lot of RP and effort.

They should not be an end goal, and they should not be for you. They should be devices and tools to encourage other players to log in, rather than status symbols or a way to gain perceived power over other players.

So if you want the Misericorde, think about how you'll use that ship to incentivise other players to play. Will you hold events around that ship? Will you use it actively for raids? Will you maintain an extremely high standard of roleplay whilst flying that ship?

50 scientific data is a low reward. It honestly takes over 2 billion in credits and a significant time investment (one year) to consider getting a unique ship.

To answer your question I will use the ship just to fly around Sirius. I will enjoy flying it and others will enjoy seeing it. In the time that I have been playing I have not seen it once so if I have it players will see it more often.

As far as the 50 Science Data that has nothing to do with price of the ship. That is just a bonus to the third party who can help me acquire one. The price of the ship will be whatever we agree on.

As far as having advantage over other players that's probably not the ship for it. It is basically and Outcast Battlecruiser with one third of the hull.

Thanks for your input.

The Misericorde is a modified Outcast Destroyer and I believe it predates BCRs as a whole.

As @Enkidu said, these things aren’t simple to acquire and they require a lot of well thought out RP and effort to get.

I’ll direct you to this, it’s an example of an existing SRP for this ship and can give you an idea of what you’d need to do to get one.
