O and dont foeget guys . Not only is it pay to win and being over-monatised . We arent even getting ship interior with the new revenew from the arks store . That money dosent go to the devs . It goes to the ceos and etc. So monatised engeneering and ships and no ship interiors ahahahaha
In fairness (and at risk of being called a hypocrite for my previous posts - though it isn't a perk I've ever agreed with), people like me who paid for Alpha access have always enjoyed a reduced rate of rebuy given the amount of real-world money we paid in the Kickstarter. If you want to purchase a ship with ARX and enjoy a similarly reduced rate of rebuy for that particular ship, then that seems like a good compromise IMHO.
Uh-huh, makes it a major disappointment for those who wish to ruin some n00b's day, I guess, or at least know that their 'opponent' lost something.
Must be so demoralising...
It doesn't bother me in the least if a ship is free to rebuy, isn't that odd?
There could be many possible solutions:
Actually there can be a lot of solutions to this problem other than 0 rebuy.
1. You pay the normal Cr rebuy cost based on their basic market value, but you cannot lose these particular modules, not even if you don't have enough credits.
2. You pay Cr rebuy for these modules normally as long as you have the credits. If you don't have the necessary funds, you don't lose these modules, they remain in outfitting/shipyard, but you cannot use them until you've redeemed them by paying off the Cr rebuy cost attached to them.
3. You've bought them for ARX? Cool, you'll pay ARX for the rebuy as well (5% of the original price). If you don't have enough ARX, no worries, you'll get a loan and you can pay off your debt from your weekly free ARX.
I've done that several times. Buying ED, buying another ED account to have a second CMDR, buying Horizons and buying Odyssey. All I "won" was the "benefit" of more game...
And some people called engineers P2W back then too. They were more or less right in terms of ship performance.
People wanna bemoan that credits mean nothing because they're so abundant that everyone has billions -- until you start talking about removing a rebuy price that would only ever be a hinderance to a new player because a rebuy is literally like .02% of an established player's assets.
Then suddenly it's a problem. Seems weird, huh?
Oh, i am neither defending nor condoning it, just pointing out that it may be contentious at best and detrimental at worst.
(the AX chieftain already suggested is imo not average; i've no idea how incendiary rounds works for lasers tho
Also,
The complications that can arise is why i call it a 'major issue'. (zero rebuy gankers were already pointed out)
If people want to spend money on something i can get for free while playing, having fun, learning and honing skills, i say go for it.
"Time enjoyed wasted, is not time wasted."
In any case i will reserve judgement till the implementation is done.

I like having billions of credits. It's as if I've got this giant cushion made of in-game money that can catch my fall should I fall over while doing something expensive.
3 months early access for a new ship is fair, because after 3 months everyone will have access to it (Odyssey owners).
The only thing I think is unfair is that pre-built ships have 0 rebuy cost atm.
Store prices have to be adjusted due to inflation.
Rock bottom is if they stop developing ED. The devs need more revenue from ED to keep development going so I don't mind.
Imho it's more about avoiding lawsuits for FDev.
Can't they make it so that if you can't afford a rebuy it will be disabled until you have enough credits?
Buying multiple copies of a game is not P2W.
Baldrick, I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a fox!
yes it is. mulitcrew with yourself and you get an extra pip.
