Notice ARX and Frontier Points Conversion

I do need to ask if the ARX we get is via things we do, then what about me going to fly Hutton ? 45min flying in space, to only get 1 ARX ? I understand they want to give ARX by the actions we do so people don't just stay in the station and wait ARX timer to go up, but there is things like flying in space so long, what would only give 1 ARX... I'm not sure if this is even rewarding, more so not balanced what so ever....

Also I need to note that 400 ARX is fine if we get 1 ship paintjob or full ship kit per week. But if ARX will be something what we get only so little, it makes entire September update ARX useless. idk bit upset ...
 
That...was kinda an odd stream.

Showing off new features for new players is great, and Frontier should be applauded for adding those features because more Commanders in the game is great - but those new players aren't going to be watching a stream for a game which they probably haven't brought yet.

As such the main motivation to watch the stream for this Commander was to learn about the gameplay to Arx conversion, and we got almost nothing on that.
 
That's baked in already though..

Buying 2x 25,500 is cheaper than buying 1x 51,000 in all currencies.

Also buying 2x 8,400 in GBP is cheaper than buying 1x 16,800.

  • 5000 ARX - 2.99 GBP / 3.49 EUR / 3.99 USD
  • 8400 ARX - 4.99 GBP / 5.99 EUR / 6.99 USD
  • 16,800 ARX - 9.99 GBP / 10.99 EUR / 12.99 USD
  • 25,500 ARX - 14.99 GBP / 15.99 EUR / 18.99 USD
  • 51,000 ARX - 29.99 GBP / 32.99 EUR / 39.99 USD
  • 85,000 ARX - 49.99 GBP / 54.99 EUR / 59.99 USD

Is it though.

2x 25,500 = 51,000 ARX
1 x 25,500 = 14.99 GBP
2 x 14.99 GBP = 29.98 GBP
1 x 51,000 = 29.99 GBP

You save a Penny by buying 2x 25,500. But you get only get a +1,300 bonus which (x2) = 2600 ARX on top.

Total 53600 ARX

Single purchase 51,000 (+3,000 bonus)

Total 54000 ARX. you get an extra 400 ARX for an extra penny.

Which is one Week of Passive ARX earning.
 
The fact you guys are defending this is disturbing honestly. Now that you have to buy more "points" then you need to get someting small.

This is classic mobile game tactics. Stop blindingly defending this. It also looks like they are increasing all the prices with ARX in affect.

This is the reason why: https://merchantmachine.co.uk/compare/
The bank charges both a percentage and a flat rate on every transaction. For example they might charge 3%+20p. That's not significant if you are charging £5, but it destroys your profit if you are charging 50p; the bank will take 22p leaving you with only 28p. Once you figure in charge-backs and foriegn currency conversion fees, it's going to be an impossible business model.
 
As such the main motivation to watch the stream for this Commander was to learn about the gameplay to Arx conversion, and we got almost nothing on that.

That's the whole idea. Bought a base game for $60 + LEP for $180..... ? Muhhahaaha. Yes, your content is coming. It's supposed to come in 2016... 2017, 2018, 2019, no, actually 2020 now.

Now let us show you a nice tutorial we've made for new folks.

And yes. 400 arx per week, 5000 arx = $3.99. We'll post it on forums.

Enjoy!

kk,thanks v much
 
Once again FD have excelled at making a non-announcement with great fanfare that tells us nothing much and leaves out the most important part :rolleyes:

I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like they have good reason not to disclose the pricing until it is too late.

A paint job currently costs 100 Frontier points on a console or you can buy 6 on PC for £3, which is 50p each.
There is a 20:1 conversion factor, so that make it 2000 Arx.
You can buy 8400 Arx for £5, so 1 Arx is 0.05952p

So a single paint job costs 2000 x 0.05952 = £1.19

That's a remarkably high mark-up. The six-pack is almost buy two, get four free.

So nice easy script for consoles store then... current 1 frontier point becomes 20 arx
Times frontier points by 2 and then move the dec place to the right one space and add a zero in the gap made..
500 points for corvas voice that cost £5.00 now becomes 10,000 Arx.. aka still £5.00...
800 points for full ship kit that costs £8.00 now becomes 16,000 Arx .. Aka still £8.00...
200 points for ship single paint glow paint job for £2.00 now becomes 4000 Arx , still £2.00...
So £25.00 that got 2500 points now gets 50.000 Arx...

SIE and MIcrosoft have to be paid so console owners were allready paying the platform holders % as well in the store points sales...
