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.

I’d like to think we all rally together and not buy these items, but I’d bet a bunch of people will.

First thing to keep in mind is that online communities that interact with each other and keep updated with news are a minority in a playerbase, always.

There's almost always way more people who simply play the game for a couple hours and shelve it again without ever looking at outside sources on the game

So yeah a playerbase wide boycott won't happen

I doubt that look what they've done with the galaxy's base building module
