I can ask about shipping some of them today. I mean, we can talk about shipping some of them very soon. It's just some of the overseas warehousing ones.
Yeah, we're kind of waiting to work that out before we started shipping those. I know originally we said that they were going to start shipping in May or June.
I mean, they are ready to ship. It's just a question of if we try and overseas warehouse them, because we would like them to be in good shape when they arrive.
I don't think they work on physical items either. Packages with physical items. But I think a standard package does work. But we will check with Turbulent and we'll clarify. I'm almost certain you can buy back a package.
We will have one as soon as we want. They're working on 2.4.1, which is going to address some of the stability issues and just general bug fixes. I would expect that once we get that out, we'll look at having a Free Fly, but no specific date right now.
This seems like a good time to mention the rotating ship that we're going to start doing for subscribers. So next Friday, July 1st, we're going to start doing a rotating ship for subscribers. So every month, we'll have a new ship that you get for the month to fly and try out. We're going to start off with a Sabre in July. So any subscribers will have access to fly that for the month, and then we'll have something new in August.
If you ordered Jump Point Volume 2, which we sold back around Christmas time, we had pre-orders up, they're currently in production. It took us a bit longer to get things rolling than we anticipated, but they're in production now, and I would think they'll probably be shipping sometime end of July, August.
We basically needed to keep the numbers the same. We needed them at a standstill to get that into production. It's possible that we might have something later.
Once we've fulfilled all those early physical packages, we can go back and look and say, hey, we can do this again, or hey, we have these leftover, we'll have them separately. We need a locked number for the stuff we're actually going to be shipping. In the past, we've shipped some physical stuff already, like the Citizen cards and the Constellation models for the larger packages. No way to bring those back.
TL;DRYes, upgrades carry the insurance of the base pledge, and the package with two Dragonflies and a Caterpillar is all LTI because the system can't mix insurance types within a package.

Your upgrade will always reflect the insurance of whatever your base pledge that you're upgrading from has.

And before we go into more LTI everything, I will go ahead and say that one of the packages today is two Dragonflies and a Caterpillar. We don't have a way to have separate insurances in a package, so they're all LTI. The standalone Caterpillar is just six months, but I'll just get that out there into the universe first. There is one Caterpillar that has LTI. It's a limitation of the system, not an attempt to get around our own rules.
We wanted to provide a way to get a Caterpillar and two Dragonflies at a discount.

Ben LesnickDirector of Community Engagement, Online Strategy and Spaceships
Yeah, and it came down to we can either have them all [LTI], don't do the package, or do some sort of Frankenstein system to the package, and everybody will be writing to CS saying, well, I want the version with a discount. Can you melt my six-month Caterpillar and switch it to a [unclear]?
So within the confines of the system, because we wanted to provide people with an option to get these things at a discount, it has to have LTI.

Ben LesnickDirector of Community Engagement, Online Strategy and Spaceships
Yeah, our other option was to do it kind of like the gun for the Buccaneer, where we would actually sell it saying it has LTI and then take it away later. It seemed like it would be really messy from the CS standpoint.
We've done it a few times. So if you bought the Sabre during the concept sale and have a model in your pledge that's coming later, you'll get a variant of the Subscriber Flare.
I can't promise. We are not code locked on 2.5 yet. Almost certainly, but I can't say what they are or whether or not they're going to break at some point in the next couple of weeks.
Well, we just shipped the last one that we did. So maybe end of summer, fall. We're working on some shirts right now. So we'll get those sorted out and then move into some new stuff in the fall.
Yes, kind of. When we have a clearer window, I'll give an update on the website, but it was kind of getting tossed around with legal and David Ladyman. So we had some changes, and it is now with our printer. So hopefully in a few weeks' time, those will start shipping. But like I said, when I have a better time frame, I will give everybody an official update.
And it's literal polishing. There's many steps, yes. And we had some ones made up that are some of our Squadron characters also, for handouts and such.
We are ready to ship soon. We're working out some last-minute warehousing things. I think they'll probably be ready to ship in the next couple weeks. We had a deadline: if you purchased one of the star maps a couple years ago, we needed to update your address. There is a part in your account where you can confirm an address if you have an item like that that's ready to ship. We did send out an email to all those folks. So if you're one of those people and you didn't confirm your address, just submit a CS ticket and I can help you out. But that is just for the rolled ones. It's not for the folded box maps or anything like that.
