Nothing that's purchasable with RMT in this game is superior to what's free, is that what you're saying?

I haven't seen the system as it's setup so far as being P2W, but then again, there doesn't exactly seem to be much to win if you choose to pay.
My only concern would be that the new shiny I bought last week is being surpassed by a new shiny coming out next week. Basically, I don't want to see another new escort for 3-6 months; if it's an issue of releasing ships which sell well, then find ways to make non-escorts attractive sales.
If the interpretation of "P2W" is that the same ship types will be updated and re-released every month under the premise that I'll buy a new one every month just to keep up, then there is a breakdown in the system.
I'm sure there's a whole line of non-C-store 5 fore weapon escorts coming out next week. /sarcasm

Just why did you post this, Ghost? You know it's going to start a storm, you have to.
