I disagree with your pve thoughts, i very much enjoy it, except that when theres the boss battle theres a russian warning i cant read (for all i know the boss is taunting my plasma guns)
There are ships that buyable only by real money and guess what? Yea , they are more powerful than those you can buy with game money. Will this be the biggest problem of free-to-play game I have mentioned above?
This is not true. Prem ships do lack the faction special and minor stats compared to them. They are not stronger, in fact only the Steam DLC ships are equal to the Race variants by compensating the lack of special and stats by more passiv/active slots.
Only buff they have is maxed synergy upon purchase.
Eh the most reliable thing you can sell on an RMT is going to be vanity items, after that convinence items. Any weapons should be exactly like ones in game.
