Will we need to pay actual money for Ships in game?

[Destraex]

I for one look forward to seeing paid ships as long as they are not pay to win or block out entire classes to the masses OR stop free ship model production. I am sure none of these things will be true though.

Personally though I just love the idea of being able to contribute to further development this way. I mean we paid one $40-50 fee for a game that will hopefully last many years. $20-$40 (or whatever they set) per year if I buy a ship this year is a small price to pay and not everybody has to do it.

Just because the gaming community has been hi-jacked by manufacturers forcing the whole "DLC" scenario upon us, doesn't mean we have to agree with it.

DLC is a scam created by manufacturers to extract as much money as possible out of it's consumers.

To accept DLC as an integral part of the game is ludicrous & has resulted in the current farcical game mechanics of today.

If you buy a game - you buy the game - not pay for it for the rest of it's playing life.

 

I understand the fanboys can't live without DLC because it is the only way they can stand out from the crowd & it can be entertaining but the current game market is a result of people accepting the new era of DLC instead of rejecting it for "completed" games. Fortunately this game does not hold a high level of DLC so a few niche items may be interesting but not at a high price.

 

If you want to throw money down the drain then go right ahead, fortunately I & many others are not that stupid.
