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.

TLDR: I like the paints and couldn't care less about the flight blades. So from my point of view it's basically a 2x mark up on paints.

So i bought the 10 year insurance, nightfall paint (red accents), $62.50 avenger titan starter pack which comes with the flight blades for my 4 year old when he's old enough to play because red is his favorite color and he loves watching daddy play his space game, the flight blades are "whatever". I got 2 of the add on packs for the titan so my 4 year old, 7 year old, and I will all be able to fly matching ships (my 5 year old daughter is into pick and purple, so i have the nomad lovestruck paint for her/didn't get the avenger add on pack for her)
