Exercise your choice, or just continue to let it bother you that others will spend money on a game they enjoy.

What choice? I dont get my money back after betrayal by Fdev. It would be one thing to sell stuff as DLC's and keep those separate like Odyssey and Horizons, one other thing to make SC style "solution".
You can choose to wait, just like the others who do not want to pay for new ships early.
"Betrayed" is hilarious, in my opinion, you bought a game, that is all...
Well I have updated my standard procedure, I block all pilots flying P2W ships when I see those. They do not exist for me.
Excellent... So you don't exist for them either!
I'm wondering how will they balance this ship. It's basically competing with the Anaconda, which being large will always have more space for utilities and extras, but also basically with the Asp explorer. Both these ships have to stay somewhat relative, although being able to use the Sco drive to reach planets half a million clicks away kinda kills the competition. Then there's also the Diamondback Explorer..
Yea, I work when these come out. Curious now on any stats.
To outdo the ‘Conda as an explorer it doesn’t need to outjump it, jumping as far and being more maneouvrable will be more than enough.
They also said you disembark from the front facing the exobiology you landed for.One thing i noticed they mentioned 2 or 3 times the atmospheric flight capabilities of the ship.
Does that mean they may have on the table full atmo planets?
Anyway, it looks dope, kinda like a bird of pray, especially when landed.
Not very convinced about its cockpit view, but well... we shall see
If it had roughly the same layout of the Python, and the ability to carry a SLF, it would certainly be competing with the Anaconda as the "Swiss Army Knife" of exploring. And with that C8 fsd....
Yes but they are mounted on the top of the hull and the legs looked quite long.
It goes Gunship, Dropship, FdL, Mamba, Corvette, Crusader, Vulture, FAS.
Arf was claiming English Electric Lightning, but apart from part of the engine layout I don’t see it.Add Razor Crest from The Mandalorian to the list, too
Some time ago, I mused on how a "leaked" Mamba Light might actually make for a decent explorer. And now, hm, Mamba Light, Mamba Lai, Mambalai, checks snake dictionary Mandalay...
Anyway, the real competition is whether screenshots will continue to be Asps in front of things, or if they'll be Mandalays in front of things.
You know, there could be one way that the Manta Ray would actually be pay-to-win: if it let us reach systems that not even fleet carriers would. Assuming you count getting new tags in previously-unreachable systems as winning. (To be honest, most people would.) But I'm quite certain that's not going to happen, because the jump range required for that would mean the new ship wouldn't be "competing with the Anaconda", more like it'd put every other ship into a hydraulic press.
Well, in any case, it's no Imperial Explorer, but I guess that'll never happen now, and I do like how this one looks. Here's hoping they'll copy the Asp Scout's supercruise handling (second-best in the game), although they'll probably copy the Mamba's instead. Plus that'll at least leave something for the AspX-s and Phantoms.

The choice to totally ignore the Arx store or not.
Personally I am in the situation where I could acquire several ships via the store and not pay anything extra to Frontier for them, when I run out of Arx bought nearly two years ago I might think about things again.
Tricky one, how do you tell the difference between a P2W Python mk2 and one bought from the shipyard since they became available?
Except it isn't such a system since, after three months, you get it for free anyway.
So that's Pay 2 Win or...Wait 2 Win. Your choice...
Must be, on my kit that is the targetting button...
