^ newer primes aren't vaulted, it goes in order of earliest released. you can estimate the date when each frame will be vaulted from their release date and the common prime access release duration (~100days each) so you won't miss anything that you couldn't foresee.

when the starchart rework came i expected the prime vault to vanish as it's original reason was "drop table dilution", but it didn't happen.

clearly they introduced and kept the system to make money of it. it's now the same as with event weapons: be patient until you can farm them again (unvaulting for prime frames, respectively sortie seasons or tactical alerts for event weapons) or spend money on it.

i'm ok with DE making money from people's impatience (that's a common theme throughout the game) but the way they reasoned it was really not great.
