I Bought the Shiv...

Against my better judgement, I bought the monstrosity that is the Grey's Market Shiv + Earthquake, Meridian, and Nightmare paints...

Joking aside, the humor behind this ship is worth the $144, in my opinion! #StarCitizen #Squadron42

Stinger

We asked YOU about the Paladin, and then the Shiv. Let's discuss the Stinger...

Is the alien aesthetic your thing? Was the new Esperia Stinger able to bring you over to the Vanduul side? #StarCitizen #Squadron42

Advice from a Legatus

If you are on the fence on buying a ship, at the very least pick up their limited time Chairman Club exclusive paint. That way, if you get one in the future, or rent/buy one with in-game credits, you'll at least have the rare time-bound livery. #StarCitizen #Squadron42

Nyx

Will we be seeing Nyx? "Some" say they would emulate the path they took with Pyro:

- tease at CitizenCon Direct
- Q4 2025 Tech Preview
- Dec 2025 or early 2026 release of Nyx

Thoughts?
