Corvettes and Cutters are now Super easy to get.

OP, it's not like the game is new. I assume players who are still around have plenty of credits to spend on a Cutter or Corvette.
It used to be Conda's everywhere you look, now it's Cutters and Corvettes.

I was trying to understand how someone would think there wouldn't be proliferation at this point.
There are a lot of folks like myself that have ground long and hard to get to the point where we CAN buy a Cutter and a Corvette....and we're there now.
Rank was pretty straightforward (and was not that hard PRE-3.0).
And even WITH the upcoming nerf I doubt it will be that difficult (at least for those who understand that it takes some "head down" work).
I now have the rank to get both; but bought the Cutter first as it's a license to stamp credits.
Will grind it into a rough diamond while saving for the Corvette.
 
Totally agree OP. It's stupid.

Anyone can play admiral now and have never fired a shot in a war or commanded a fleet of ships. And now we can be that way as total noobs at the game.
 
Aww, I spent yonks grinding out for a Corvette, that it turns out I don't even like!

I'd be annoyed, but I'm not. Because I don't think those ships were worth the pre-3.0 grind anyway.

Same with me and the Cutter. Grinded forever for it, bought it, A-rated it, then sold it two flights later.
Oh...in keeping with the spirit of the thread this was back when it was “hard.”
Hard as in hard to sit there running all those damn data missions.

And this bothers you how exactly? Effects your gameplay in what way?
How dare an unworthy player have the same ship as you?

Hello dear Forumplayers.

So yesterday morning i was up early (7am) and logged into the Game. Sitting in Shinrarta, i saw 7 Corvettes, 1 Cutter and one Chieftain in the List of Commanders.... wait.. 7 Corvettes? Wasnt that a special and Rare ship once?
I went investigating why everyone has a Corvette now... found a Youtubevideo that showed how to get ranks fast with the latest Beyond Update..... well holy Sh*t.
I farmed weeks or more like months to get my Cutter back in the Day, and now i was able to reach Rear Admiral within one single Morning by just picking the reputation reward on every data delivery mission.

Now im a not so proud Corvette owner... it doesnt feel like i earned it properly, remembering how much work went into the Cutter.

I think F-dev fails to find a middle ground. First it was to much grinding or to much work, now it is way to fast. What do you Guys think?

Have a good Day.

I've seen plenty of cutters and corvette's, logging in to that doesn't seem to be anything new, so using that as argument seems rather odd.

Is it easier now? sure definitely, but it isn't as if it was 'hard' before, there was really no difficulty associated with it, just an amount of time, and now it allows people with less time to get the ranks needed easier. Which, I don't see as a problem, again because there was nothing special about ranking before, it was simply an investment of time?

People still need to be able to purchase and maintain it, so yeah, I don't know, if rank had more meaning I'd agree, but since they don't yeah..dunno.
