    The Terran 12th Anniversary bundle. It has a bunch of ships I'll never use, uniforms I'll also never use and then in the end stuff I can get elsewhere for a lot less real-world Euromonies.

    I still want the uniforms though, and knowing myself, I bought one of the ships. That permanently locks me out, but also keeps me from dropping a three figure sum on some pixels. All for the health of my bank account. Redface

    FYI:
    Locking yourself out only works on the small Mudd bundles, if you've bought the large one.
    For regular bundles that was "fixed" quite a while back.
    It also doesn't discount the bundles you've bought individual ships from.

    How to ship in sto that won't break the bank top up small over time well in advance of any major bundle releases. I used to have a monthly sub and when I got to Veteran status I cancelled it and started to put in the smallest zen top up each month and then occasionally small top-ups here and there to build over time. This then means that any big bundles that come out do not break the bank.

    Now that is something I should be doing. In fact, it's something I will be doing.
