[GI] bday sale with rebate (+side questions about formation)

as the title suggests:
1.) will rebate (-25%) stack with the bday sale (-21%)?

also some side questions:
2.) Was there or will there be any sale like the bday sale for drone formation? I'm debating whether to buy a diamond now or save up for a drill formation the next sale (if that exists) because I won't be able to make the extra 50k uri in the remaining 12 hours of the bday sale (busy with school)

3.) This will be my first drone formation purchase. Are any of the two recommended? I plan to do gates, farm NPCs, and build up UFE status for the next few months.

 

Rebate and sale reduction will stack, sale days are very random so when the birthday sale is finished it becomes a waiting go till the next sale appears. If you are planning to farm gates the moth formation will help as most the NPC's in gates pop with half shields but you will have to learn how to use the moth as it runs your shields down.

 

You plan on buiding a ufe ship. Are you going to do it using $$$ or the long free way?

 

the long and perilous route of the free man. Maybe with the consideration of rebate and premium. Free player since 2008.

Thanks for the info. I don't really mind the length of doing gates. What I don't like about the moth formation is that it is practically useless on normal NPCs and I don't think I'll be doing PvP for a very long while. So I was opting a formation that could help me finish NPC quests or basically an all-around formation.

looks like bday sale is ending in 50 mins. I'll have to make up my mind soon.

 

moth formation is very helpful and diamond a must for aspiring ufe player

 

ok, get diamond and literally live in 5-3 for like 3 months and get like 20k gg spins. then buy moth and bash zetas. I say zetas because they give 25 booty keys which you could save up and use on zeus or lf4 day. Buy premium regularly, but only buy rebate when you are trying to purchase something such as the moth formation. Another key thing is SEP. you must constantly send sep to your ship throughout the next couple of months while building up pally so that by the time you are ready to do your gates, you will have enough sep to last you through all the gates.

 

Also tell me your ship stats, like lf4's drones etc so i can tell you the best configs to use in gates and what ammo to use.

 

[FE status]
-1 LF4 (from 1st epsilon)
-39 LF3
-20 B02
-8 iris; no zeus or apis
-no drone formation. (missed the drone sale lol)
-25 PP
-Level 11 Pet with kami lvl 2 and all laser slots

I just made gates A, B, and Y because I'm trying to complete my Kronos Gate for the first time. Luckily, kronos day event is today.

 

excuse me for the double post.

A bit off topic but will it be best to get a venom for PvE? How about for gates?

I heard that the singularity skill was nerf down to hit like a kitten
