none of the CIG sales are real sales with reduced prices
the ships are all sold at a fixed price.
You can always pick up an aurora package for $45.00 USD which includes access to the the areana (ship combat test bed)

also as each ship is added to the areana as a flyable asset
you can upgrade any of your existing ships to it so the longer you wait the more options you have

there is also a possability that SC will offer accounts without ships aprox $10.00 USD but this may not happen
with the numbers of SC ships held by KGB a non ship account would be workable

my best advise tho would be to regisate on the site and buy a $5 shipskin so that you are listed as a backer just incase they give out anymore freebies to backers.
you can always turn the ship skin back to store credit for buying your package afterwards

one thing to be aware of is you can always melt down any ship you have for store credit and buy a different ship some people do this every time there is a new ship release just so they can try out the new ship
