Hello everyone,
There's this question in my head that I've been thinking of for quite a while now.
Is having more than 2 or 3 ships useful ?
Let me explain myself
This game CLEARLY Isn't going to be like Eve, where, in fleet, you can lose a ship only to go back pickup another one and come back, I've checked my eve- assets 2 days ago and I still have more than 50 ships....
But when it comes to SC, I see this game more as a Freelancer or even ED , where you have one ship and fly it from place to place, eventually you'll have a fighter or something to fleet up with people but you won't need more than 2 or 3 ships. Imagine if you go live at the other end of the 'verse, how will you bring all your ship there ?
I even think people with more than 10 ships will end up selling most of them or just put them in a hangar, never touching them. Thing is, CIG makes money almost only by selling ships, so they really try hard to sell their new toys to us. But will we really need these ? I do not think so, but if you ask devs/community managers, they have to make it looks like we do need these ships... because... It's what get them a stable income.
I also read people telling me a lot of "good reason" to buy many ships, but most of them, frankly, sounds like excuses "yeah yeah... I bought a third carrack because imagine if my friend wants a carrack, but then my other friends wants one, I have to be able to lend it to him ! " (I'm exxagerating but you get the point ), I think actually people just like collections, which is fine, but some should really stop looking for excuses and admit they just want an internet spaceship collection XD
What do you guys think ? what's your opinion about this "personnal fleet building trend" ?
