[quote]My first D2 raid tonight helped me reach 300pts, which was as far as I was interested in getting for Solstice... thanks to those who let me participate. [b]I didn't have time to grab the ship, but I suspect it'll pop up sometime in the future on Eververse.[/b][/quote] No, this is a timed event, once it's over, that's it. No possibility of upgrading from green to purple, no chance of getting the ship outside of doing the required grind, during SoH.

I doubt that given how few people had A) 3 characters, B) If they had three most had just duplicated Hunters and Titans to farm gear and C) had time to run the whole grind 3 times. Bungie are many things but, they have at least started to correct mistakes like this where the requirement for an item, like redricks claymore, was too geared towards a miniscule group of the community. The ship or one similar will pop up as a legendary sometime in the future. Players who ground out the ship will always have the exotic version to show off. Truth is that no-one cares about the ships anyway. Some look cool but, you always change to the latest and greatest anyway.

Really? I've seen so many estivel excursion ships in the last 2 weeks.

Nice. I've honestly seen exactly one.
