I bougt one of the pluto mystery packages for 350 platinum and this is what I got:

You used one Pluto Mystery Package. You got the following items:

x1   20,000 Ore
x1   20,000 Credits
x1   Zinger Rebels
x2   Collosus Rebels
x2   Crusader Rebels


20,000 Ore item count increased from 0 to 1.
20,000 Credits item count increased from 0 to 1.
Zinger Rebels item count increased from 0 to 1.
Collosus Rebels item count increased from 0 to 2.
Crusader Rebels item count increased from 0 to 2.

I don't this this was worth much to me.  The ore and credits are easy to come by for me.  The total of 5 ships was a real waste.

I chase comets whenever I see one and get the full 20 platinum so this was a loss of 17.5 comets.  That was a lot of comets to chase.  I don't this this was at all worth the platinum.

They stay in the items menu until you click use.  I will know if they are costing me energy when I finish my current king of the hill fleet build and max out my energy use.  I always calculate my builds to go as close to zero energy as possible.  These 5 ships should cause me to go negative if they draw on my budget.

I bought one as well but haven't opened it yet.  I figured I'd get one on a whim since he's given out a bunch of free platinum in the past due to server issues so I had nothing to lose.  I'll have to open mine and see what was inside.

So mine had:

x3   20,000 Credits
x2   20,000 Ore
x3   Zinger Rebels
x120   J Core

The J Cores were nice.  The credits and ore are meh since I produce those fast enough and the zingers are meh as well.  I'll try them out here later today probably just see what happens.

Well, I used one of my Rebel Zingers and it gives you 400 ships and yes, you have to pay for their upkeep with energy.
