In my mind, they're not mutually exclusive, so it doesn't make any real difference to me. Is the difference for you that you don't care what you get in return because giving money to support development is enough? If you got nothing in return, would that matter to you? I'm just curious why it...

Very interesting consensus here. I get the why of purchasing ships in general ("We don't buy ships dummy, we help CIG!"). And that's cool, but also semantics. However you choose to call it. What's interesting to me is how many folks buy just for looks without much regard to the gameplay or UEC...

Even the looks can change as we see with the recent makeovers. All of what you said is why I feel like it's BS every time Disco says buying a ship should be a commitment (whenever players are complaining about having their ability to trade ships around constricted). Yeah, that might be true when...

Yeah, the game being a success is definitely an assumption I am making. Probably not a safe one either because so many game mechanics are still up in the air, and we're still left with basic questions like what are you really going to do over a 5-10 minute quantum travel period? I know they...

This is a great answer. I'm particularly on the fence with the Terrapin. I own one as part of an explorer's package. I like how it looks, but I'm also concerned about its gameplay value versus dollars spent, costing nearly as much as a Constellation or Mercury. I feel like it's not worth it, but...

Yeah, certainly. But most people aren't a never-ending spring of dollars, right? So at some point, you have to start making some choices. That's where this post comes from. You've given them some money, you've supported development, and now you perhaps want to optimize the dollars you have in...

Would you sacrifice the smaller ships you like to get into the larger ships you also like because the larger ones are a better value?

When considering purchasing ships for real-life money, larger ships tend to provide a much better $/UEC ratio. Generally speaking, larger ships are a better "value" (insofar as in-game items can be considered valuable). I am currently thinking about consolidating my hangar into a handful of...

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! Yeah it's interesting to see certain ships jump the line like that. I own a BMM and a Carrack (for some stupid reason) and I have this feeling that the years of speculation and hype has made them almost mythological creatures that the real ships won't be able...

I'm giving up my dream of using the Cutlass Blue to transport slaves captured bounties for the Mercury. I hope it turns out well!

Can't disappoint anyone if it never gets done!
