Totally agree.. However I would also definitely pay real money to have my own minor faction added to the game.. I know they actually offer this for free but for most people like me I bet after submitting the request it never actually happened. Purchasing anything that would give a player an advantage is totally not on though as I'm riding in 3rd class!

wow, Dutch I completely agree with you. I am happy to see cosmetic purchases in this pay to play game; however, If we saw credit purchases or special Modules that gave spending players advantages in ED it would really spoil the game for me. Perhaps non-combat beneficials would not be bad. Like a 100ly FSD...

No, no 100ly fsd, nothing.
Once a dev treads the dark path of payed non cosmetic items there's only one way they'll follow and that is downwards.
Same goes for booster packs, single use improvements, etc.
Once FD decides to implement payed non cosmetic items then I'm out, definitely!
I spend quite some euros on paints, shipkits, etc. but I'd never spend a dime on non cosmetic stuff.
No more WoT situations for me ever again.
So you won't pay for expansion type material?
Imho an expansion like Horizon is something entirely different then payed shortcuts, boosts or other individual gamebalance influencing store items.
Agreed, as well the recaps are null of even generalizations, just more "stuff is coming, you'll be amazed!"
I was wise enough to see through Roberts when he pitched his ponzi scheme..
The problem of course is its as clear as mud..
It always seemed extremely likely that 'Beyond' would contain purchasable premium content, which would be free to LEP owners.
Given the cost of the (second offering) of the LEP, to ignore these players would have seemed pretty rude, so Zac's announcement seems perfectly reasonable, and I very much doubt that the content will be purely visuals.
FDev have shown they can comfortably segment the base and premium players, so I'd expect some ships at the very least to be gated by a purchase - be it already made, or now required - and it wouldn't entirely surprise me if access to subsequent tranches of paid-for expansion were further gated by having to buy the previous package. E.g. you must own 'Horizons' to buy 'Beyond'.
For those for whom the sky is falling in, please remember that without buying Horizon's you cannot access engineers, and so already cannot get some very real in-game benefits. Call it pay-to-win if you like.
The only minor clanger that FDev seems to have dropped to me, is in not properly announcing that 'Beyond' still works in the same way as 'Horizons', with some base improvements and new toys for all, and other, extra, new toys for those who buy-in.
So, absolutely no change to where we are today.

It was not more effort than this post, which happens to be a waste of time as well.
Not from MechWarrior, World Of Tanks, and World Of Warplanes as previous examples of the Dark Path, no.
Mate i'm not LEP holder, missed by about a month or 2.
I'm just confused about the whole 'premium content' and free stuff.. Actually, I think I'll just wait and see
I might rage-quit for 5 minutes in protest about something.. Not sure what yet
The reason you are confused is because you spend to much time thinking about it
Because, they are Frontier.
The name plates, are not.
They never said there will be free nameplates but they always said there will be paid cosmetics.

Quite, I imagine my post took longer to make as well. It certainly had more content.
Ok fair enough. Nothing that boosts progress.
It is hard to tell and we will pass out arguing because it is about year from now. It was fun but time to bow out of this.
I would pay $30 for gas giants. Please let it be gas giants.
