With regard to the Arx points, welcome to the Console World, CMDRs Masterrace. We've had this issue for awhile...and it is frustrating. Having to "buy" another currency to then "buy" an item is irritating on two levels. One, why not just take my money? And two, the Frontier Points always came in bundles that never really lined up with shop prices. Kind of like the whole "why are there 10 hot dogs in a pack, but they only sell buns in packages of 8" thing. So you navigate it as closely as you can and snag things when they go on sale, or buy something you really don't want but hey, you've got 100 Frontier Points left so you might as well. You always feel as if you've left money on the table. So for the first time in two years, I see this as a step back for the PC crowd....I would have prefered that the console group could have gained parity with the PC people and just spent our money, but I imagine it has something to do with M$ and Sony not allowing that.
Other than that, Fleet Carriers for Christmas. Ho, ho, hype!
