I will explain my situation very clearly.
I own all Premium ships. I should not be able to buy them anymore, but I still can and even indefinitely, or until your GS limit is exceeded.
Such store mechanic is not acceptable. It is unethical,irrational and outright broken, not to say stupid. I won’t discuss the reasons behind for such. Bottom point is, that it needs to get changed!
You are able to buy a Premium Bundle Pack for a reduced GS price, but only, if you already own 1 or 2 Premium ships, or if you own all 3 Premium ships already, you pay the minimal GS cost.
However, maybe you’re only missing an emblem, but you still have to pay for the same Premium pack, at reduced price, because the pack won’t acknowledge, that you’re only missing an emblem.
Buy option for such Premium Pack Bundle should be disabled (greyed-out), even if you never bought such bundle, but if you got all 3 described Premium ships already or if you bought it once already!
If you are only missing an emblem, you should only pay for the emblem, but not the full price, which inlcudes the whole pack indefinitely for the minimum GS price and it still shows in the shop forever.
I suggest that an emblem (unique aerography) gets added under Customization options, where you can buy it with GS only.
If you already have it, you cannot obtain it any longer.
Contraband Containers. I won’t get into them here, but the system is based on RNG, so I won’t touch it. It is still acceptable, while the system we have now for Premium Bundles isn’t just.
Depending on how this issue will be solved, I will acknowledge it, when I will write a full, extensive and up-to-date review of Star Conflict on Steam.
I will also consider, that Gaijin respects their customers and that this was only a design flaw and not their intention, if they will correct it.
They don’t need to discuss economy of this game, but this is an issue, which got ignored for too long and because of that, a lot of players lost their respect for such practices.
Customers should get the feeling, that they are being respected and treated correctly. Store system must be just.
I only write this now, because some of new players tipped me off on this issue and since I do not want that this game gets a worse reputation, than it already has.
We need more people and we need a just, respectable and rational store mechanic system.
Summary:
Premium Bundle Packs (TIII, TIV and potential TV later) should only be purchasable once! Later, the Buy button is disabled or greyed-out.
If you own all 3 Premium ships already, you can still buy such a pack, but you will only pay the price of the emblem and not the ships, even at minimal GS cost in the Store.
or
You will be able to obtain the under unique aerography, under Customization settings.
Sincerely,
Koromac
