The episodic rollout of SQ42 is presumed to be a way to inject new cash into the studio alongside reported plans to release higher priced ships and the rumored third game.

What?.. Higher priced ships? You’ve got to be joking…

One of my favorite ships in the game, the Drake Corsair, is already $250. It’s a great all-rounder, but it’s not even a large ship comparitively! And they’re going to start charging more for the newer ships?!

They just released a new ship as well, the RSI Zeus MKII, which is yet another $175. And that doesn’t even mention some of the larger ships like the Anvil Carrack, sitting at an insane $600, and the Origin 890 Jump at $950…

And if that’s not bad enough, they’ve had concept ships for years available for purchase in the $1,500-$2,000 range. How can these ships get more expensive?
