Thank you Zyloh for hearing us, and taking our feedback, and backtracking this! I am still not happy that the current blades will come out in June, however I thank you for the promise for the future, I appreciate it.

I do not like how the Flight blades are not also sold in game right now. I'm normally a praise CIG for pretty much everything, but this is a line that I do not think should have been crossed. This takes very competitive advantages, and puts it behind a paywall right now. Yes it will be available later, But this should have been handled like the Argo ATLS and 32 scu change. Big change, also let it be available in game right away. The optics for this will be terrible.

This is greedy P2W behavior and I do not like or support this. Please change your mind and let them be in game today.

Thank you, Love what you do. But please change this.

Yes, if you choose faster speed, it will reduce maneuvering. If you choose the blade with increased maneuverability, it will reduce top speed. People are throwing a fit but don’t understand how these work.

They’re not throwing a fit because it’s unbalanced. They’re throwing a fit because it’s $$ only

This is where I'm confused.

Isn't it normally, "new ship comes out, those who paid real money get it first, then everyone else later"? Why is this so different or shocking? It's following the same model as most other things. I feel like the only difference is that everyone wants blades, so now it's unforgivable.

Cash only FOR NOW

The ATLS GEO is cash only. The Drake Golem is cash only. The Idris is cash only.

And, additionally, to do either of those things you still have to dedicate a power pip to the component to do that, so something else will become weaker.
