Ship pricing in the pledge store is not even the equivalent to ship pricing in the game. To be fair, it would afford you some small advantage, but the other factors that affect the outcome of a battle are more significant, like piloting skill for instance. Nor would it give you a significant advantage over another player. You could start your entire Star Citizen experience in the most expensive fighter, and that would not allow you to skip any content at all. They are role based, not level of game play based. The ships are made more like a real world industry would produce ships. But in those games, as in most games today, there is the tiered collection of ships (or whatever the mechanic is for your game of choice, be it ships or swords or guns or spells, etc) where a player is expected to work their way from the first to the last in the tier because each ship is akin to a new “level” of the game.Īnd that makes it difficult for many people who are not familiar with the game to see beyond the “Pay to Win” scenario. And I am not making any judgement on those games, I am a lifetime ticket owner for ED myself. Ships are not priced by size or by combat ability or even by crew requirements.īeyond the transition out of a starter ship, there is no “progression of ships” like there is in a game like Eve or Elite Dangerous.
But of course I will expand on it because I am me There are so many other factors involved.Īnd you hinted at that a bit.
In many cases the more expensive ship has less chance of winning a battle.
But the determining factor in that battle will not be as simple as me owning the more expensive ship. In the most basic sense, sure, there can be me wining a battle against another player. I am just one who thinks the phrase “Pay to Win” is very negative and carries negative connotations which makes me a little uneasy about applying that phrase to Star Citizen when I cannot say that SC is P2W because there is no “win” in SC. You were very forthcoming in stating that it is your opinion, and gave a fair representation of why the definition does not really encapsulate the whole story for SC.
