Story: Lazy scrubs want to fast track themselves to the good stuff by paying real money...
There isn't one single respectable developer out there that would do this... Star Citizen is a P2W mess and people talking about WoW are talking about a game that is on its last legs.
Selling ships in store goes against pretty much everything FDev want their game to be. So no... unlucky guys, because it'll never happen

I fail to see the point of buying a ship with real money. It totally goes against the 'Elite' spirit of the game.
It's a lazy option that should never be added and I say that as someone who has been playing since Alpha and still flies a Cobra Mk III. If you want an expensive ship you should earn it, even if it takes a week, month or year. The sense of achievement when you finally buy it will have been worth the wait.

"Lazy" would be the people who have all the time in the world to sit on their backsdies and play games........ and grind......
...... oh wow..... 21% in favour of "pay to win"......
Please tell me what you'd be paying to 'win'? A player buying a ship makes as much impact on the game as buying a skin from the shop does.
There's another space game that would just love to sell you ships for money. If you're really in it for the ships rather than the experience, that might be more to your taste
. Alternatively, you might want to see if you can buy into the beta testing phase, as all ships are 100 cr in the testing realm... it's awesome I voted no by the way, if you hadn't deduced that

It is ok guys, the argument is already lost...........ship prices are coming down and trading is getting nerfed (or other careers are getting a buff)..........so, you can contunue to grind all you like....I get to keep my REAL money, AND I get the ships I want in a reasonable time, and without having to do any of that tedius trading .................
There is no win, this is Elite and the galaxy is too big compared to any ship or ships to win.
Please no more talk about winning in Elite.
What would concern me is that once people can buy ships then it is tempting for the company to make the grind much worse to encourage more to buy ships then people may leave and so not so good.

And if that player parks his bought, tooled up, Anaconda outside Trevithick Dock in LHS 3447 and blasts every undocking sidewinder to smithereens with a particle accelerator?
Pay to win WHAT?.............Jeeze what is the matter with you all...........I play in SOLO!.......You think I can "win the galaxy" or something?

People are doing that now, with money they made on trading..........whats your point?
Ha, you really are delusional. The ship prices will be reduced by 20% at max. You still won't be able to afford them, and you will still cry.It is ok guys, the argument is already lost...........ship prices are coming down and trading is getting nerfed (or other careers are getting a buff)..........so, you can contunue to grind all you like....I get to keep my REAL money, AND I get the ships I want in a reasonable time, and without having to do any of that tedius trading .................
Because, as I and others have mentioned, and which you are ignoring or pointedly not taking on board, working up from the sidewinder is part of the gameplay. Remove that, and it is a different game altogether.
No, you missed the point........well done...Ha, you really are delusional. The ship prices will be reduced by 20% at max. You still won't be able to afford them, and you will still cry.

I can now get the ships without having to TRADE GRIND!..............if I was forced down the path of the most boring people in this universe, I would have walked away.....if I can get the ships, in good time, playing as Pirate, Bounty Hunter, Explorer or Miner (hahahahaha) I will stick around as I find them "fun to do"....
.
Devs have now said it will be possible to progress to new ships with these careers, and that trading is too powerfull comapred to the others.
.
I win
