Many people who claimed they wanted to support the game the most, honest guv, complained that Horizons ships weren't playable if you didn't buy Horizons. Frontier just solved that dilemma by giving those same self proclaimed ardentest of ardent supporters of the game a way to not miss out when it comes to Odyssey ships.

Of which you have exactly illustrated the point. I doubt I'll be buying prebuilt ships, ship engineering is in a reasonable place for me but for those who claim its nothing but grind to do so have now been given the opportunity to circumvent most/all of it in a way that makes Frontier money and also might kill the black market selling of pre-engineered accounts.
They are literally using the exact same arguments. Whether you think CIG's P2W crap is far crappier than ED's P2W crap (which I would agree with fwiw) is irrelevant. I am looking at the arguments used to defend both.
To be fair, that's exactly the fear that Frontier need allay, that Elite isn't going to end up like that.
The same argument, but for different situations degrees of severity that aren't pertinent to one another but somehow you are adamant that they are linked together to tarnish with the same brush because they "sound exactly like SC fans."
Plot twist: The engineered modules are locked to the ship you boughtI can sense a G5 dirty/dragexploitfarming video coming up..
.Okay, this clearly is a touchy topic for you. Not interested in that, so feel free to be as outraged as you want by my observation. Ciao!

55,000 dollars for a kit of all ships, many of which are vapour-ware and will never be released, with many of the rest being hopelessly buggy? Nah.Star Citizen inside...
(To clarify: My beef is not with charging money for in-game content. That's a business decision. FDEV have running costs (servers etc.). However, charging through the nose for ships, including ones that are buggier than a bullfrog's breakfast, or even only exist on paper, that's something making me close my wallet faster than a heavy drinker finishes his first shot of the day...)

How is giving potential new players the option to get a pre-built ship for their chosen area of interest going to alienate or chase off existing players?
If existing players didn't engage with Engineering previously they can choose to continue to ignore it or get one of the packages themselves if they want to; it's still their choice. If they have already unlocked Engineers then they will have access to better modules* than are available in the pre-built ships (and hopefully enjoyed playing the game while they were doing so).
Likewise with the Python II, existing players will either have enough ARX earned through playing the game already, be excited enough to spend money to get it sooner, or patient enough to wait.
*with the obvious exception of the G5 Dirty/Drag Thrusters in the AX Chieftain

Because thay had to 'grind' to get where they are today and want every other player to 'suffer' as they did?
No 'type 8 when?' posts yet?
Why should there be any ? We already know it'll be 3 months earlier for some.No 'type 8 when?' posts yet?
More a "Type 8 what?" at this point.No 'type 8 when?' posts yet?
Are they going the Keelback/Type 10 route or something else?
I'm pretty sure that some who are complaining about this haven't touched the game in the last six months, let alone three, and this won't bring them backtm
Meanwhile the Yamiks video is out, and I've never seen him like this before. At the end he's almost crying.
Did his squeaky toy break or something?
His horse head fell off possibly...
As long as he gets the clicks, that is all that matters. The algorithm rules the monetised.
