The sad thing is that the actual ship seems like it's cool and good and fun to fly and make builds with, but everything around it just sours it for people as things keep piling up.
Be honest everyone. Who will most likely purchase the Python MkII..?

So far the best use case that has come to mind is high difficulty assassination missions, which are often some distance from the star, and there may be some HGEs to be had along the way

The Armor rating looked like it could be engineering acceptable for ax cz's, at least planetary port cz's, and it absolutely slides sideways from what I've seen. The cockpit view in VR won't be as good as a Chieftan, but I look forward to deleting scouts in one, and the extra firepower and convergence should be good for hearts. Just not till August.
You have exactly 0 guarantee that any of the money spent here is even going back into ED.
I mentioned in another thread that there is a possibility that this ties in with PP V2 where they show reasonably substantial Arx being awarded for playing and this might be to offset that. However, some communication about it rather than letting everyone try to figure it out themselves would be far preferable, and if they have gone up not because of the above, then I got nothing..
And I would understand and support any of your actions Sir
. Maybe one day ? One will never know ? I may get over my console ??
Is that a good thing? Play this way in game or be penalised by additional costs for cosmetics.
At this moment I'm curious if there would be A grade SCO drives available only for new incoming ships. It may have even decent logic as to be only for ships being overall designed for those drives. There is not yet enough official info, I will wait for 7th May update release notes.
I don't know, that's a fundamentally very broad question that you could just as easily ask in regards to supermarket loyalty cards, credit card rewards points, or giving your mate a discount when he brings his car in for a tune up.
Haha... pray that they don't alter the deal any further. If nobody buys into the P2W, they can always keep all the shiny new toys behind the paywall, you know?
I’m going to have a difficult time playing this game when a ship I want to try out is locked behind a purchase I refuse to make, so I will most likely stop playing until August. Assuming a pattern is being set here though, that will put me in the same boat come August with the next ship introduced with the pay for no delay mechanic, potentially putting me in a holding pattern for a year before the next four ships are all buyable with in game credits. I guess my happy medium would be caring enough about the game to play it while not caring enough about the game to be excited for new things they add to it. I’m not sure if this weird position is more on me or them, but I don’t like it.
No, you should play more, make 'em pay more for server costs! /s
The EA P2 cash ship is fine. But in conjunction with high price increases across the board in store, no.
It's like announcing to my employees on a Friday afternoon 'we have a new coffee machine on the floor, 10 pence per cup, enjoy'.
...Only to discover the following Monday morning they are required to pay £10 parking, per day. When previously free.

Sure, IMHO as well. But you can bet that people will still buy it, just because it is something others can't get. I think this would then be the fastest progression from cosmetics shop to full-blown P2W the industry has ever seen. Nice to witness record breaking history in real-time.
Don't agree with everything you said, but you made me laugh, so have a like.
I sat & thought about the P2 after having a good chat last night with a couple of the group I mess around with. I'd been initially keen on getting it EA, then it didn't look quite so good on the streams so I wavered a bit, I think it should carry a C7 PP & Distro, just like the P1 / Kraits, but whatever...
Today FD hikes the prices of Arghs purchases through the roof, which effectively devalues those I have by up to a third or greater...
I have a heap of the little blighters as the cosmetics I wanted didn't arrive at Christmas...
Yep, you've guessed, I've muttered a few filthy words in the direction of Cambridge and decided that I'll get the P2 after all, preferably the pre-build, assuming it comes out next week.
Mainly as I don't want to spend them on cosmetics that I'd already considered were at the upper limit of what I was prepared to pay.
Future store purchases would be entirely with Arx earned in-game, as I'd be playing anyway...
I'm not suggesting anyone else change their decisions, just explaining how I came to mine.
After the ARX cost increase?
I was dubious about paying for "early access" to a ship as it was. But early access to a ship that is now too expensive to paint and customise (something I have done to every single one of the 36 ships I own)?
As the bogans say, "yeah, nah mate"
