Some notes on the free Breacher fleet:

You do not need to opt in to Bounty to receive the fleet. It is for everyone we've seen in the last 90 days in BP.

You do need to free up dock space to receive it. Dock rules fully apply - this fleet will not overfill your Dock.

Specs of the fleet:

- Fully built (decent build)

- VXP Rank - Legendary

- Not Upgraded (U0)

It will begin to roll out shortly before Bounty starts.

FB appears to be having intermittent payment issues this week. These are typically resolving and purchases are eventually going through - you may notice some hiccups though.

In the meantime, try purchasing on KIXEYE.com instead
