Long time player, first post (i think, cant remember)
With the increase in ARX cost of multiple items etc this has come up as a topic in general discussion within player circles I fly with.
Feedback from a majority of the people I spoke with (and myself included) is that currently the idea of "Packs" are preventing us from spilling hard earned AUD dollars into the game.
The suggestion is to move towards a more micro transactional based system (Very successful in other games) where instead of buying a whole ship kit for a spinny boi dish, we can just by that specific component.
It could be made that the whole pack is cheaper than the sum of its parts, but by splitting packs up into smaller chunks, at least myself would be willing to purchase specific components as desired.
Currently im not touching packs for a single wing or paint job, its cost prohibitive and doesnt make sense, others may be in the same boat.
As a long time player since 3302, i want this game to live on, i want to give fdev money. But i also want money i spend to be a smart purchase and spending arguably big dollars for cosmetic kits so i can use 1-2% of it isnt a smart purchase in the current economic climate.
Keen to hear other peoples thoughts on the matter, maybe even a list of items you would buy if they were not included in a giant expensive pack?
a sliver of my wishlist is as follows:
DBX solar panels (from the surveyor pack)
Python Hazard wings (Hazard kit)
Python spinny boi dish ( from the surveyor pack)
FDL fins for the back
one of the corrosion paint jobs (to get that mad firefly-esq feel)
so on and so forth.
