Zyloh-CIG - Squadron 42 Buyback Update

Full message here:

For more than a decade, Star Citizen has supported the flexibility to melt, buy back, and adjust pledges as the project evolved.The Buy Back system was introduced as a support tool to help handle the number of tickets we used to receive asking to undo an unintended melt. Over time, it evolved into a service the community has also used to manage fleets.We have always cautioned that once a ship is melted, it is not guaranteed that it can be bought back as circumstances change, for instance when something is permanently removed from the store or part of a promotional bundle. The buyback queue should not be used to park ships and bundles at their original prices for future use or for profit on the grey market years down the road.Recently, we made a change to disable buybacks for Squadron 42. This was intentional and addresses something the system wasn’t intended to support. Squadron 42 was offered in a variety of ways in the early days, but it was always meant to stand on its own as an independent AAA experience. It was removed from the store several years ago, both as standalone and in packages, and buybacks were never intended to work around that.We’ve also seen some confusion over the last few days from messaging that suggested broader buyback restrictions for Star Citizen. This was caused by a caching issue that displayed an incorrect error message for some. It did not actually restrict any buybacks, and a fix has already been deployed.As preparations for Squadron 42’s release continue in the background, we’ll keep taking a closer look at systems like buybacks and share more as we have updates.
