Hello guys.
Im quite nw to this game, came here after a lot of time in WoT and a bit time in War Thunder.
So im quite interested in some premium ship for my federation lineup - can u recommend any?
Before some1 comes and start one of those P2W/money kid/etc crap please: I always support the developer if I enjoy the game so I only wanna normal discussion on this. and GL flying
Don’t buy any at this point.
The synergy system(Introduced in 9.0, about 2 weeks ago) is made in such a way that premiums are useless currently if you want to actually progress.
If you fly a premium you get excess synergy, that you then need to transfer for gold, thus having to pay twice for the same ship, And if you fly the ship enough and use enough synergy transfers, probaly 5 times the ship itself.
Wait till they fix the system before you buy premium ships.

They don’t make any more credits than normal ships(Not significantly anyway) repair costs nowadays are no problem, and the reward increase is so small it doesn’t matter.
WoT premiums are totally different from SCon premiums, here they are not P2W, and often are actually worse than F2P ships.
Superkite T2 CovOps
Sai T3 Recon
Bear T3 Tackler
Polus T4 Engineer
Polus more of a convenience ship as you progress down the frigate line. Acts as a good double for realistic mode engineer. I don’t see any rhyme or reason with the game’s premium ships honestly. If they were tied to ship progression in some way or had a more consistent theme to it then I’d guess better suggestions / advice could be given. But as is - it’s pretty much random. It’s not like purchasing a series of premiums in a certain line would help you progress down other paths easier etc. You’ll still need to unlock the entire tree with or without premiums.

wow, really strange. I guess i stick to premium ACC and wait if they do something to prem ships.
thank you all guys!
If you wanted to look more towards the non pack premium ships:
T2: Empire Fighter (Gunship)
T3: Empire Fighter (Gunship) Empire Interceptor (Recon) Federation Frigate (Engineer)
Personally if you’re just wanting a ship for credit grinding go with the Fed Frigate or Empire Fighter to use in T3 PvE. You’ll make considerably more money doing the missions with these level of ships than the beginner ships.
Then once you do advance to where you play T3 normally you also have ships that don’t have a rank 9 equivalent so you can make the most your implants. For example Empire has the best gunships but the empire rank 9 fighter is command, Federation has the fastest frigates but no rank 9 engineer a class which it is supposedly known for.

This is not entirely true. A lot of the premium ships have a slightly higher reward bonus than their equivalent ships - not all of them, but some do.
In addition, for some pilots (especially beginners), the removal of any repair costs actually makes a decent difference. This is especially true when said pilot doesn’t use a license and thus has a somewhat lower base income. Therefore, there is still an advantage in having premium ships.
That said - under the current system, premium ships can slightly hinder your progress through the ship trees. This is likely to be tweaked in the near future, though.

If you are indeed looking to support the game and spend some GS - the most beneficial choices right this moment (for a beginning player) would be:
If you were going to buy GS - I would always recommend buying the Merc Pack first. This comes with GS as well as the other permanent benefits and is priced very well for the value it contains.
Alright. Premiums, at this point, are pretty darn useless but, if you insist:
T1: Palom, King Dvergr.
T2: Kalah, Crus-Q, Swift Eagle (which is the Jericho Premium Ceptor, I think I got the name right). DLC: Priest Bartle.
T3: Parallax. DLC: Desert Eagle, Dragonfly.
T4: Kevlar Ha.
That is all. For everything else, there are the non-Premium ships which are LOADS better than their Premium counterparts.
You forget the t2 blade of aressa I love that ship
im pleased by this. I guess ill stick with the license and wait with the premium ship once they got “changed”

Bonus to weapon damage is good, but when you only have TWO guns… it’s not that much of an overall change… I still prefer the Swift Mk 3 due to the reload time bonus.
well im just gonna scratch this p2w game.
for 2hours straight im gettimg matched vs corp. squads with all premium or purple gear… not fun anymore

I suggest you keep the game installed and check it out every few weeks, since this game is getting updates every week in general.

I hardly doubt that this will ever get changed since its money maker for developer. never seen such a hard p2w desing - not even in the uber greedy game world of tanks
Can’t say I blame him. I would probably react the same way after the 0.9 update as a completely new player.
This so called “Pay to Skip Grind” is 100% pay to win under the current model. Why? Because earlier ships are complete crap. You are not viable in a tier if you are flying ranks 4, 7, 10, and still gimped if you’re flying 5, 8, 11. Why do this in a pure PvP game and force newbies to play against experienced players who are in better ships with better gear AND are generally better at the game because they have been playing longer?
It is hard enough catching up to older players in terms of skill to compete on par with them. A new player to this game will ask him/herself this, is it worth the synergy and loyalty grind all this time while getting stomped only to compete on equal footing with the oldies?
The obvious answer is no, and unless something is changed, this game will die. New players won’t play, and old players will get bored and leave.
I own quite a few Premiums, and I can honestly say that under the current system none of them are any better than their free equivalents. In fact, some (read: Pirate ships) are in fact worse than their free equivalent!
Do yourself and all of us a favour; don’t spent real money on this game until major changes happen. It helps you because there’s no ship worth your money. It helps us because the less money they make under the current model, the more their air-head “we don’t live in the real world” marketing department will pressure them to do something about it.
