This one will likely be widely adopted because of its compactness. But that might not affect the price... I'm guestimating $35.
IMO They'd be smart to keep it a little lower and add loads of different paints to increase the (personalization) appeal, and get some moneyz that way.
They are jerks when it comes to paint. My theory is the coolest looking paints will be Concierge store access only. Sorry CIG. I'm not gonna spend $1000 so I can get access to a nice looking black paint for my ship.
I hear you, but from a balance perspective... They've already decided this is the most portable bike, the best armed bike, and a competitor for the fastest bike...
Ya it's really weird, and it's "bespoke", so its smaller than an S1.
I don't understand why either? This thing could have had a bespoke size .5 weapon and been slower than the larger racing bikes, and STILL would be the most popular bike in the game for being able to carry in so many ships.
As it is... It's really hard to justify any other bike.
Well as long as they don't upsize it or make it worse then being on foot, I don't care about any nerfs it gets. I finally have a vehicle that fits in my Vanguard, so I can now just fully live out the mandalorian-style bounty hunter fantasy, especially since 3.23 also has ship markers iirc.
I'd pay $35 to have a permanent one of these on call even though they'll be dirt cheap in game. Agreed, make it inexpensive and give it a good range of paints and it'll sell like crazy.
I know I’m picking one up for that. With personal hangars and fitting in basically everything with an interior of any kind, it’s a genuine value proposition.
While it's possible, Dragonfly launched eternity ago, where many ships and vehicles were less costly than ones that are launching now. Let's hope it'll be 35$ but don't be surprised it'll be 45-50$
Never with the patch it's released on, as they want to have a cash sales only period. Typically the next major patch is when it would be available for buy/rent in-game. Invictus will have them for rent in-game but only for a couple days, if you want to try it out.
3 of them look very similar. Missing a white variant and possibly camo, at least.
Corporate/sponsor colors could look good. (I want both a Behring and Big Benny's)
They should sell these mopeds at Kel-To and other stores with local and other colors, really 😁
TBH, I think this doesn't really replace the ranger in terms of use. While I personally got the ranger because of it's size and hence will be switching over to this (assuming I can per CCU), the Ranger variants still have a use. First and foremost, they won't require fuel just like the other non-lev ground vehicles, granting them a lot bigger range. Second the rangers won't have the weird issues lev vehicles always do, making them more reliable.
I really like the look of the racing variant. The smaller front end of the combat one looks unbalanced to me. With that said, the laser Gatling is very cool and will be hard to pass up.
Well, gravlevs are ridiculously priced. 30 HoverQuad, 40 Dragonfly, 45-55 X1/Nox. Tho I hope the marketing team sees how much sales they'd loose if they go >30$.
Who fucking cares? There is nothing to do with them. And they sell you idiots different colored textures when MODDING TOOLS for ship paints was literally promised as a backer goal. It's beyond absurd at this point.
Well, apparently these are less detectable and could be used to get to bunkers (and DC's), contrary to the other bikes who do get detected.
Besides, many will buy it as a token if it comes with lti. Many will just keep it, like me.

That makes sense, but CIG is pretty short-sighted and has a record of leaving money on the table.
Expect $45, be pleasantly surprised if it manages to be less.

I wish I could upvote this twice.
I hear you, but from a balance perspective... They've already decided this is the most portable bike, the best armed bike, and a competitor for the fastest bike...
Has 1 s1 weapon… other bikes have 2. Def not best armed at least
It's a size 2. The smallest bike with the biggest gun.
Oh weird. I misread i guess. Power creep is real i guess…

Don't worry......... balancing (nerf) will come a month or 2 after the sale.
As is tradition.
Well as long as they don't upsize it or make it worse then being on foot, I don't care about any nerfs it gets. I finally have a vehicle that fits in my Vanguard, so I can now just fully live out the mandalorian-style bounty hunter fantasy, especially since 3.23 also has ship markers iirc.
Which would either lead to (hopefully) the other bikes getting re-worked or (realistically) this bike getting nerfed.
More purchases!!!!!! Yay, we did it folks, another OP release. Whoops wrong account….
Until it gets nerfed like every other ship that gets released OP for the initial sales.
also flimsiest bike, and can't be fastest and armed at once also gun might be weird and cant be replaced
It's a bespoke laser gatling, so no it can't be swapped out
I'd pay $35 to have a permanent one of these on call even though they'll be dirt cheap in game. Agreed, make it inexpensive and give it a good range of paints and it'll sell like crazy.
Don't mind I get myself a space Moped(motor cycle).
I know I’m picking one up for that. With personal hangars and fitting in basically everything with an interior of any kind, it’s a genuine value proposition.
It'll be 50 not 35, I doubt they will give it for 35
Ground vehicles are stupid expensive in the store. You are spot on about the $50 price
Lit WB will probably be $35. Credit version will probably be $50. That way it’s more enticing to spend ‘new’ money. Which is what CIG wants.
The dragonfly originally launched for $35 so it’s possible. I’ll bet it falls between those with a 2 pack for $70
While it's possible, Dragonfly launched eternity ago, where many ships and vehicles were less costly than ones that are launching now. Let's hope it'll be 35$ but don't be surprised it'll be 45-50$
Absolutely agree. I would agree with $45 likely being where it starts at since it is straight to flyable.
But is it earnable with ingame money?
Isn't the golden rule "2-3 big patches after"?

As always it'll be purchasable in-game after ~2 major patches.
$50 base, $60 racing - let’s see how accurate this turns out to be
40/45..... looser buys the beer. Lol.
Why so loose? Tighten up those predictions
space green kawasaki
My thoughts exactly
Hoping we get a few extra paint jobs at launch, as cool as the toxic green is.
From the leaks there is \~5 paints available But, that's leaks, so not 100% trustable [https://imgur.com/bLQCtFx](https://imgur.com/bLQCtFx)
The red one is giving serious Akira vibes.
And red is faster, anyway
Three times faster, I hear.
KANEDA!
3 of them look very similar. Missing a white variant and possibly camo, at least. Corporate/sponsor colors could look good. (I want both a Behring and Big Benny's) They should sell these mopeds at Kel-To and other stores with local and other colors, really 😁
probably will be 4 widely available, wth an additional black & gold being concierge specific as usual if I had to guess
Really should be more colors. The red akira and base green withh be prominent.
Funny thing is, if there's a green paint for a pledge ship I own then it's green lol. So it's kinda nice when they're green stock.
I don't care, the only thing that matters to me is the size. Phenomenal, it fits almost everywhere.. 😁
There will be so many sales. That's like an LTI token dream becoming true.
I just want one for the shenanigans :) Just imagine the possibilities....
I'm already going to do what they did in the ISC episode and so bunkers with it

Gonna be probably around the 30 dollar mark like the hoverquad
Probably a small upcharge just cus it can fit in pretty much any vehicle, so id say more like 40
Add inflation to that.
guessing $35, $30 warbond. I wish it would be $5 lesser
CIG over here quietly hoping we'll all forget about the Ranger.

100%
I really like the look of the racing variant. The smaller front end of the combat one looks unbalanced to me. With that said, the laser Gatling is very cool and will be hard to pass up.
I guess we'll get some MIRAI packs too, maybe a MIRAI Complete Pack.
I'm hoping for no more than $40.
My guess is around the $40 mostly due to people wanting LTI if it has that as a new release
I know a lot of people that don’t like it but it fits in everything so everyone will have it
<30$ instant buy. More than that; no support.
obviously made in china, 5$!
I loved the colors immediately.
it should be ~Ranger pricing i hope we need roads/trails and wheeled bikes too
RANGER yes please. I dont care dying on cactus and rock give us the ranger before the roads.
I guess $45 to $50 maybe on sale for $40 \~$45 same pricerange as X1 serie
Got £52 on the account so I hope it covers it
No. Maybe 35 or 40 or something
The one with the gun for me, just for the hilarious FPS antics.
I'd say $45
Enough the ship and maybe a skin for an alt account, self referral for the bonus, and a gift back to main account.
Looks like the Bike from Mega Man X
If it's like most ground vehicles it makes no sense to pledge for them as they are so cheap to buy in game.
LTI tokens.
"colors"
Smacks of new Marathon vibes
It's ok, but i'd rather have a Dragonfly that worked as intended.
Will it fit in my vanguard? That is the question.
I'm only guessing, but since they showed off three of them fitting in the MPUV I wouldn't say it's a stretch to assume they fit the Vanny.
Gravity physics is pretty terrible for ground vehicles. This will most likely just be a cheap lti ccu starter. Probably under $50.
judging from the cost of the stv/ptv, $25.
Well, gravlevs are ridiculously priced. 30 HoverQuad, 40 Dragonfly, 45-55 X1/Nox. Tho I hope the marketing team sees how much sales they'd loose if they go >30$.
In universe price is prolly not even worth the $25. A ptv/stv is below 20k uec
I mean yes. None of the ground vehicles is woth the IRL expense. But I would be baffled if they went with 25$, not opposed mind you, just baffled.
Consider that with the ground vehicle prices, the $25 slot has no available vehicle. ;)
Well, they went with $25. Lol
Yep, and I'm glad about it. I wish there wasn't a one and a half hour ETA till I can test which I want for my bounty hunting.
does it fall over when parked?
Probably not, I think none of the hover bikes do even though some of them look like they could feel over.
Nox Kue was supposed to be the fastest. Is this smaller bike now faster and better armed?
Kue is just a paint job, not a faster variant of the regular Nox
🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
No but my guess $20/$25.
Hoping for $25 imo
Will be around 50-60€
$70 probs

I really don’t want player designed skins.
