5/16/2023 0 Comments Star citizen ship![]() The game WILL NOT consumer the current budget, considering they just got in TWO DAYS what most game developers need to finish THEIR FULL PROJECTS START TO FINISH. There is no need for additional development resources. ![]() They don't say, "okay everyone buying these Skylander characters above retail will help us discount the physical starter kit to get more people addicted!" No, they just discount things, because they want them to sale.ĬIG could just as easily went and discounted the package. Even big box retailers are nicer than that. So basically, you give CIG $2,500 and they give you a ship, with no weapons or equipment (an empty hull), and at the same time you're helping them discount A VIRTUAL GOOD by HALF OFF. Basically, players "donating" $2,500 to the glorious cause were helping to fund starter packs that were half off of their $40 normal price tag. While I understand people have the ability to spend their money as they please and I believe in the free market and allowing everyone to spend their money however they please, at the same time we have to look at the method in which these items are for sale, who they are targeted to, and the reasoning behind it.ĬIG claims that the ships price was ABOVE RETAIL to help FUND the $20 starter packs that were also of limited quantity. A plane ticket might be $1,200 but the rest would go a long way if you live frugily for a few months. Travel abroad - you could spend a summer overseas with $2,500 if you get cheap enough airfare. $2,500 would purchase a half month long cruise at full price and I'm not sure on discount cruises (you know, ones you buy a month or so before they leave port) you can find something near that price. Assuming you can fit it into your home, everyone around the block would come to watch everything on it obviously. Looking into items that don't hold value, you could easily purchase a best in class T.V. These are all items that maintain value and can be traded in the public market legally. ![]() Your parents or financial advisor might suggest putting the $2,500 into bonds or ETFs, setting aside $500 for emergencies and the other $2000 in something that returns value on itself. For $2,500 you can buy almost any luxury good or multiples (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari, Tiffany, etc.) including diamond rings, designer handbags, more than 5 pairs of designer glasses, and more items that could, depending on what you buy, maintain and even appreciate in value. For $2,500 you can buy a used car that runs and will last you years and maintain the value that you invest into it. The first issue I have with this ship, beyond the exploitive nature in which it is sold, is the price tag. These ships are account locked (any ship above $1,000 is bound to account) so while other ships can be sold, this is a lifetime purchase, and in addition you are not allowed to sell CIG accounts. Each batch of ships sold out instantly, within 5 minutes, and some by players accounts within seconds. Only 200 of these ships were made available, resulting in a profit of $500,000 or half a million dollars for the Star Citizen team. The opinions expressed below are mine and mine alone.Ī new ship was released over the holidays, the Javelin, which went on sale for $2,500. I could write on this column today about catfish and that's just what I want to say. I will gift the ship or item to your accountĦ.As a brief reminder, this is my column and my opinion alone. Pay with PayPal & buyer protection, Stripe or bank transferĥ. Ingame weapons, armor or clothing or hangar flairs. I am here to help with a bespoke selection of ships, vehicles, On the Star Citizen website or you feel that the pricing is rather You cannot get hold of certain ships with LTI (Lifetime Insurance) I speak English and German and you can always contact me if you have any questions at all, so without further due: I am improving my Concierge Level by helping others to obtain cheap ships or items and maybe earn some cash to reinvest into the game. I am not a whale or tycoon and sell ships, upgrades and items only from one account, my account! Due to the 1.000 USD daily / 24h gift limit - it can happen that I need 2-3 days to ship something but I will always deliver! I am a passionate Star Citizen backer with a Golden Ticket, backed on Kickstarter in back 2012 and played ever since. ![]()
