I really appreciate your comments (and I got your email), and I would like to make this a public discussion.
I don´t like the free2play concept very much, however I would like to perform an experiment with this (If there is enough interest). Players dont´t get additional content individually and with micropayments, but a whole package of addons (ships, rooms, new units and maps) would be crowdfunded, and every contributor gets the new stuff at the same time. Only players who play the free core game are at a disadvantage, which I think is only fair.
Another option could be, that players who share the belief, that pay2win is a great thing, could be limited to a specific star system...
I am still a little confused..
Let me know if the following is correct interpretation or not..
$0 we get
free core game = free base game no whole package content, no funding required (essentially free lite/demo version)
$5 we get
free core game + whole package add-ons + exclusive content (full version without online capability?)
$10 and above
free core game + whole package add-ons + exclusive contents + online account (full version with online)
Will the whole package add-on content be updated for free for those with online account? I hope this game will not become filled with add-ons/dlcs in the future for any new contents.. I don't mind paying for game expansions with significant extra stuff but not those small contents add-ons. Pay2win is a significant turn off at least for me, not sure bout majority of others views.
