A state-of-the-line $300 ship with a pilot with minimal training is better than a $30 ship with an experienced pilot. There are still battles in this living, breathing universe, and it's all about succeeding, and those who pay the most will do the best. They will have the most cargo space, the best guild positions, the strongest weapons, the fastest ships, etc. The outline of a pay-to-win game. There is no way around it, that is the path the devs have chosen, and that is how the game will work. The same as any free-to-play MMO, with the exception that this game has a base price. And the buyables are much more expensive than any MMO I've ever seen. |
The $300 ship that requires 4 crew members. They can do better in a guild, but I don't see why they are directly competing. If they have a matchmaking system, why would it put you in battles that you can't win?
