Yacht Appreciation Thread

I think after buying the yacht, the vehicles that come with it should be on a heavy discount from Pegasus. I think 50% is reasonable.

 

I don't even...

 

They're freely available from your yacht. Why would you buy them from Pegasus?

Because you won't always be at your yacht, and it can be too far and inconvenient for you to get to at times.

On that note, I just did a breakdown of every Pegasus vehicle (boats/helicopters) that comes free with each boat, and while it's not surprising that the Aquarius is the best value for money (considering it comes with a free Toro and SuperVolito Carbon - both of which are pretty steep as individual purchases), it's still quite an amazing disparity:

Orion = $6 million (base, without additionals)

Pegasus aux. vehicles = $39k approx.

Orion - aux. vehicles = $5.9 Million approx. (rounded down - rounded up is just $6 million!)

 

Pisces = $7 million

Pegasus aux. vehicles = $2 million approx.

Pisces - aux. = $5 million

 

Aquarius = $8 million

Pegasus = $5.3 million

Aquarius - aux = $2.7 million

 

In other words, while the total package for the Aquarius is the most expensive (between $2 and $4 million more than a stock Orion), most of that gets negated by the massive amount of pricey Pegasus vehicles included - to the point where the average cost of a cheaper boat minus aux. vehicles is roughly equal to the cost of ...just the Aquarius' Pegasus vehicles.

It also makes things like the regular SuperVolito/Carbon and the Toro a total waste of money (like they weren't already! :lol: ) - why would you buy a chopper for $3.3 million and a boat for $1.75, when you're better off just saving for the $8-10 mil. yacht, and getting much more for your dollar - ?

Is the captain the same for everyone?

Mine sounds like an Aussie

Yup. I think he's a Kiwi though.

So I did some fraps recording of my first moments with my yacht. Its not funny or clever...just a 1 min video and a quick look at it. It the 7 mil Pisces which I chose for a few reasons: One I prefer the clean lines, two i am not too bothered about the extra vehicles, and three so far its probably rarer than the 8 mil version. Its the second color, white and blue stripes with rose neon, because... the 80s. I think its pretty awesome, might change it to the red/white or a darker color though. Just want to keep the vibe of the party decade for a bit yet.

Damn fine ship, Kraegos, she's got the right name. You treat her like a lady and she'll always bring you home.

Is that a Doctor McCoy quote? From 'Encounter at Farpoint?'

Ok, but the Buckingham Swift that I have on the helipad of my Pisces has champagne on board and I can't turn on passive mode inside it. So it's a Swift Deluxe with a better paintjob, $5,150,000 on Elitas, if I recall correctly. Pisces FTW.

Ah, didn't know it was a Deluxe! Most sites just refer to it as a 'Swift', so I assumed it was a basic model.

Ha! Nice. You, sir, are the type of nerd I was hoping you'd be. :alien:

I threw another party and once again, things got out of hand.

Also note the burnt deck around the edge of the Hot Tub.

I have the aquarius, but i would have gone with the pisces if I had waited more and look at the difference. I'm not ''Downgrading'' to the pisces because i have to pay 1 million (so it would be 2 millions to the drain basically) and I already own the Speeder and the Swift deluxe.

Can anybody agree with me that during the snow season on GTA Online, that the Alamo Sea should be frozen over and our Yachts are vulnerable to land and air attacks? It would be epic!



We would soon see what the Bodyguards are made of, and if they would earn their money.
