I have mixed feelings about your post, but it was such a big post I skimmed it more than reading.(Edit: I’ll start reading it more thoroughly now)
Right now premium ships are a cash grab, and anything below 100% free synergy will stay a cash grap for me.
In the “past” we paid for the premium and that was it, We got reputation while using them, no repairs, credits…We didn’t have to pay extra cash to actually use it. So why change it now? If we still must pay for both the premium ship AND synergy transfer, it is still not worth it to use premiums in my eyes.
My problem with 100% free Synergy is that it’ll completely burn any income off the game. You no longer have any reason to buy Premium Missiles, the Colours/Stickers are overpriced and… odd, to say the least… Other than that, there is no more income from this game. The point with me putting 50/60% is so pilots actually buy them, fly them constantly (I used to fly the Strong all the time) AND actually feel good about spending GS to get that extra Synergy. That is how I feel about the Premium ships. I want to fly them again. But I won’t spend a dime on “Transferable Synergy” the way it currently is.
