A few prime questions

[Lt_Scout]

Hey all, I was just wondering about prime frames and had a few questions.

 

How long are prime frames available before being vaulted?

How often are new prime frames released? And are they being released in the order they were originally introduced or at random?

How long are "Prime Access" packages available for purchase? Do they always have one on-going, or are there times in which there is no prime access?

 

Thanks for reading!

A prime is vaulted when a new PA is released, in chronological order.  It's available for months to years after release til vaulting.

Get a new prime frame release roughtly 3-4 months.

There are short windows of about a week or so when a new PA is about to be released where there is no PA available, but other then that, there's always one open.

roughly 3-4 months. there is usually a week of no prime access with the vaulting of one frame and the release of another

Great, thanks for answering those questions guys. Thought of a few more that are kind of follow-ups; who's next to be put away? Next to be primed? Are they going to un-vault anyone in the near future? I read on the wiki that it was about 6-8 months after frost p went into the vault they had him for sale on something akin to PA.

I'm pretty sure Mag will be the next release from the vault.  Be aware vault re-releases are separate from regular PA, and Frost's unvaulting was only available for a month.

There is no pattern.

Nekros is one of the strongest candidates, but it could be, say, Oberon.
