Highly dissapointed

Just look at the new ships upcoming

Courier:
1.Only thing that made me try get master in empire is the thought of it being the new fastest ship

ENIED
2.Such a cheap ship cant fit my needs its going to be worse than a vulture for sure
3.Isn't there enough cheap ships?????Sidewinder,Hauler,Adder,Viper,Cobra,ASP,Vulture,T6 all under 10 mills while we have T7,Clipper FDS python FDL T9 and a conda (I dont count orca beacouse its useless) so by my thinking new update should have brought 2 above 20 millions ships but it made just the opposite

Diamondback:Still no official info but most speculations and by the looks of a picture it will be a small ship like a litlle bigger than a hauler probably between ASP and a Cobra which will be = 4-6 millions to buy

What are your thoughts???Isn't there enough cheap ships to use already?

PS the courier has 3 medium which i just noticed we can only hope on A6 shields and a big PP which is not going to happen

No. Not even close.

It's fine, small ships are the best to fly.

fademist · May 25, 2015

i think diamondblack maybe is above asp price though...

but what ever the case i predict nerf prices threads when they come out anyway

I said it once, i'll say it again... They are "useless" and "pointless" only 'cos you are sitting on a huge pile of credits and don't know where to spend them. There are still new players, players who struggle with earning cash who will welcome this new ships, me included.

Corvette and panther clipper are yet to come and you can be sure they'll cost over 50M. So stop ing, enjoy the game and wait for the next patch.

I agree here. I'm currently in ma maxed out A graded FDL and I am enjoying it but it still doesn't feel like the money I put into it.
I enjoyed flying my Viper and Cobra back then but once you hit a certain point money-wise there just isn't a reason to go below Python grade ships again....
I wish there would be more variety up top. We still don't have an actually fast combat ship.

The phase in which you don't have money is very short, tho. I get your point but that situation just doesn't last long enough to justify the amount of cheap ships, in my opinion.

Pretty much this ^^^. OP is coming over as being a little selfish here. There are many players for whom earning vast millions is not part of their game enjoyment. For these players there are already ships that will likely remain out of reach for a very long time if not for ever. Why should there be an ever increasing price of ships that fill the needs of only those who's aim is to make credits? All players deserve access to new ships, maybe not all new ships because some of them WILL be way outside their price bracket. For example I will never be able to afford a Rolls Royce but new cars come onto the market that I CAN afford. Which is as it should be in the game too.

quickr · May 25, 2015

It doesn't last long if you are trade grinding for cash. You have to understand, there are players who don't dedicate lot of their time to this game or don't like trading that much (like me). They won't see 100M in assets in month or two, or maybe even three.

Besides, 2M for a stock ship, and 10M or so to fully upgrade it. It's a week or two playing, at least for me.

forget what I just wrote, Joe explained it much better

I'm not a trader, I've always been dedicated to combat for making a living.
I totally understand where you are coming from, but do you think a week or two is a lot of time compared to the overall playtime people invest into this game? Seems adequately balanced to me.

Yes, could not agree more. With my non trading casual playstyle its not very easy to being able to afford and maintain ships.

ciger · May 25, 2015

OP how about just wait for the ship to be released and then making judgments.

Just wipe your savegame and stop grinding. Should be fun to advance in imperial ranks again with powerplay and improved missions system.

Than you know how hard is to earn cash. specially if you don't play all day every day. what we (combat oriented players) earn in a day, takes trader an hour or two.

In 1.2 we saw vulture (20M later brought down to 5M) and FDL (50M) and corvett and panther are yet to come (around 50-100M I'm sure). So crying about 2 cheap ships is a bit selfish if you ask me.

I agree with this.... been playing since Gamma and I've "only" accumulated assets of about 35 Million. That still sounds like a lot to me, compared to what I started with, and I'm still enjoying my gradual progression up the ranks. I like dabbling in different playing styles, a bit of trading, then some exploring or bounty hunting, it keeps things interesting. I did try grinding a trading run for a while to build up cash, but it soon get boring....

Your're kidding right? There are nowhere near enough cheap ships in this game!

Vasious · May 25, 2015

Not every ship has to be "better' than anything already in the game.
Not everyone want to fly the next biggest/baddest ship, some people like to fly different ships for different reasons.

If I never plan to buy and Fly a Vulture, does that make it useless?

ozrix84 · May 25, 2015

I think FD adds new ships based on what the majority of players fly.

jk2l · May 25, 2015

and for me, i am looking forward for some cheaper luxury version of ship like imperial clipper but is not faction based. maybe a luxury cobra/viper/T6

man... that ship... it looks so nice.... *look at my wallets and rank* okay nevermind

Morbad · May 25, 2015

Game needs more small/inexpensive ships than larger ones.

Was never expecting the Courier or the Diamondback to be combat competitive with the Vulture...frankly this would be insane with how potent the Vulture is.
