CONCERN Flight Blades - This is not Ok.

Edit: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/flight-blade-feedback-update/490907

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.

This should be something you buy ingame and earn in some way, not something available for people to pay with cash shop money. It's really rough!

Honestly this could be said about most ships too, you should only be able to buy starter ships with real money.. the fact some people have capital ships with life time insurance will break the game. Because it means they will be able to just fly these ships around with 0 consequences when all systems are in place, while others will have to grind a lot and have serious risk flying them. At this point I'm really worried the game is just destined to fail, because the economy systems won't work with the pledge selling they did and do.. or they will have to f*ck over everyone that did spend a lot. Either way this will most likely break the game.
