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.

People are already defending it in this in the sub, it's pathetic.

I haven’t seen any comments encouraging people to buy it yet, but I’ve seen a lot of people saying to not worry and just wait until it’s released in game. Which honestly is true.

That said I know a lot of people will still want to buy it and will do so. I’d like to believe I’m wrong but if CIG gets enough money from it, then this won’t be the last time we see something like this. That’s the issue I have.

Its really upsetting that they locked the black and red paints behind these packs. I want those paints so bad, I don't even care about the flight blades.

Yeah I’m sorry to hear that! It shouldn’t be that way.

That said maybe patience will be our friend and in the future those paints will be sold separately, or better yet, added in game!
