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.
