I've been grinding Dead Orbit for 6 months on 3 characters. Today, I decided to experiment with the new pledge system; so my Hunter pledged himself to Dead Orbit.
I saw that you can buy Faction rep by donating materials now. "That's cool,' I thought. "I have a metric crap-ton of sapphire wire. I'll donate some and get a new faction package. Not that there'll be anything useful in it, of course.... there never is."
At the Postmaster, however... THE FERMI SOLUTION!!! That ultra-coveted, super-sweet ship was waiting for me.
And to think I almost decided not to pledge to a faction at all, since I was a little low on glimmer.
So it occurs to me... I more or less bought this ship with my faction pledge and my sapphire wire, didn't I? (No, I did not... it's all random. But sometimes, because human beings instinctively try to detect patterns in everything, random events seem to have a significance that they don't actually possess.)
Just sharing what I thought was an amusing story... because I'm happy to finally get the FERMI SOLUTION!!!!!
-
Rep 8 packages DO got three shaders and 2 emblems
-
How much wire materials did it take roughly to level up your faction??
-
ASSCLOWN!!!!!!!!
-
Still trying to get The Teilhard War. STOP BEING A BITCH LAHKSMI!
-
Lucky did that with my hunter with special ammo and got nothing out of 3 packages
-
cool beans
-
I got the NM ship after buying a single level too.
-
-
I got revenant today right after pledging:)
-
I got the New Monarchy ship after buying a single package to unlock the quest. Lol
-
I ranked up DO twice yesterday with a bunch of sapphire wire. Does anyone know if there's any reason I should hold onto the rest of it (about 3500 pieces)? I would rather just try my luck at getting the shaders I need.
-
Should have waited till tuesday, chances would have been better.
-
Now you can just get it free from the kiosk to equip on all 3 toons if you'd like.
-
I want!
-
Yup, I "bought" the hanged man shader, now all 3 toons are hanging.
-
Congratz dude!! That's the last thing I need from dead orbit now, I ranked up twice in the last week and got the two shaders I was missing, the hanged man and revenant
-
I've gotten 3 of them
-
Do you know if they are willing to take any of the farmable materials? I have nearly a thousand of each and I figured I might start cleaning out my vault a bit. Congrats on your ship btw. It's one of the most coveted ships in the game. Although, I think I like my ship more ;)
-
I had no idea that the ship was so rare... I've received 2 Revenant shaders and that ship. And between all 3 I think my DO rank is close to 30.
-
I finally got the New Monarchy ship a couple days ago. Rank 66, but still just one shader, Nefertiti AK
-
I'm waiting till TTK actually drops and the new "no repeats" system is implemented. I already have all of the New Monarchy shaders minus Cleopatra AK, all of the weapons, and all of the armor, all I want is a damned space Ferrari.

Edited by Lootenant Dank: 9/11/2015 1:38:13 PMthis week i got my second FWC shader and my first ship from donating all heavy synthesis and armor materials. Completely worth it
-
I done the same thing bro. And bam. Finally snagged revenant after first level up. After 1 year and 22 levels. Only cost me 40 special ammo. Hell I had plenty to spare after the how chest run
-
Is the ship that rare?
-
Got mine at 31
-
you people are officially stupid
