So if I sold back the ship I would have lost 10% on the trade in value of the discounted price. I know that because I put the ship in to the PX box for a cobra to see how much I would lose. So having lost over 5 mill credits on the deal buying the Python through the as you put it , shady price description, I would have lost another 5 million on its trade in value too making around 10 million. Seems kind of lopsided to me.
By the way until you pay for the ship you think you are getting the discounted price it isn't until the buy button is actually pressed that the true amount is taken from you, so you are unaware this is about to happen.
You'd have lost 10% of the price you paid for the ship if you'd sold it back. Now if you'd done that, and raised a ticket, and were now complaining that you hadn't had that loss reimbursed I'd accept that you have a point.
If you kept the ship, having paid the price that the developers say you should have paid for it, and are now complaining that the price you paid was more than the price displayed... well, I don't see that you were cheated out of credits. You found a bug and decided to accept the consequence of the bug. Sure, it's a bug that needed fixing. And I have to say... bottom line if you have the cash to buy a Python then quibbling over a 5m loss is like me quibbling about loosing a few hundred thousand - frankly I'd suck it up and get on with enjoying the game.
