I've bought all the new ships for Arx and I haven't won anything except FDev being able to put more resources into updating the game which means everyone wins.
I bought them all too, and I won the game! Haaa!

Why didn’t you wait until the ships are available for credit, or did you feel there would be some advantage to owning them on release?I bought them all too, and I won the game! Haaa!

Perhaps, but particularly in the case of the Cobra Mk 5, they are also for outlier veterans of the game like me who only want one ship to fly and prefer a good small multirole that can really hold its own in combat against larger vessels. And who also loves Delacy ships and has a soft spot and nostalgia for the original Cobra Mk 3.…small ships are for new players or for giggles.
Yeah, I'd kind of count that in the "for giggles" section. You're not using it because it's the best at anything, you're using it because it's fun. I use my Courier for the same reason (even though it's demonstrably not the FE2 version, but it bears the name at least).Perhaps, but particularly in the case of the Cobra Mk 5, they are also for outlier veterans of the game like me who only want one ship to fly and prefer a good small multirole that can really hold its own in combat against larger vessels.

You talk as if those ships will forever be available only using real-world money (which, as far as I know, is the case for many/most ships in that other game).They are now selling the Cobra MK 5 (Standard) for 10738 ARX.... even though the Corsair is still on the real cash only roster?
Is this how it's going to be from now on?
T8 has better everything than a large ship? Of course it doesn't.I'm unconvinced that the new ships are significantly better.
Hmmm ok. Starts off promising.
I've bought a T8 because it's a great hauler for a medium pad
lol.
The fact that they are creating cash ships that are statswide way and ahead of prior ships to the point of basically including their existence is kind of sad.
At least do something to give the earlier ships at least presence of relevance.
The T7 design had a mistake where it was 50cm too tall for the medium pads in the Beta and clipped through the hangar roof. so they just deleted its ability to land on M pads instead of spending a few man hours to reduce its height.
But now suddenly they have a T8 that CAN land on M pads and strangely has better everything than a Large ship.
If ships don’t have a niche, why bother existing?
Quite true. But then, and I don’t want to be Commander Obvious here, fun is the purpose of a game after all.You're not using it because it's the best at anything, you're using it because it's fun.

I suppose pay to have fun doesn't really have the same ring to it if you're making a complaint.Quite true. But then, and I don’t want to be Commander Obvious here, fun is the purpose of a game after all.![]()
Seriously another P2W thread?

Nope. The ship will be available via in-game credits like the others.
You mean the same information source we're using for powerplay and trailblazers updates?Question is when.
The plans are absolutely on display, but you have to go down to the cellar, with a torch, to find them on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'.
Ship personalities are available here.I haven't used any of the new ships. I think they all lack personality. So I still spen most of my time in my Keelback, and am in no way impacted by the new ships.
Why should I?Why didn’t you wait until the ships are available for credit
Yep, I get to fly new ships on day one of release, which has the advantage I don't have to wait for an eventual 'for credits' release.or did you feel there would be some advantage to owning them on release?
P2W is kind of a broad church. having better ships locked behind ARX is P2W imo. whether you feel it breaks the game or it matters or not is by the by. personally I think it is P2W but I don't think it's obnoxious P2W.It really isn't unless you can do what others haven't been able to do and explain what you are winning.

I bought Fallout New Vegas a few weeks back, that was certainly P2W as I can't get it for free...Now it's just "if you have to buy something it's P2W".
