People are complaining about the quantity of game played required for a simple paint job. Saving 26-32 week for a ship kit?FDEV are going to give you something for free, that you don't have today, and people are complaining about it?
You want to play raider NOW, not in half a year's time, no?
And that fancy paint job from last weekend (maybe not the last 9 months but hey, here is to hoping) you really want to wait 6 weeks for that? Which would push back that raider kit by said 6 weeks.
