The Eagles journey to sitting at home in January is moving full steam ahead . <| sep |> Did you think less of the people you were helping all those times you donated ? I ' ll bet you thought they were people who just needed a hand . Why would you see yourself differently ? <| sep |> Well , besides the fact that some of this money is not all tied directly to ships , nevermind the merchandise and all other money used on upgrades , CCU ' s and such . Lets say for a second that the game was funded differently , everyone is buying their copy at 60 dollars when the game is released like any other game . What then ? Is it good for the economy to be run to the ground as millions of players demand parts ONLY for the aurora and mustangs ? No one can mine effectively to provide the ores at the pace the industry demands , no prospectors or orions remember ? You might not need a ship , but the parts , ammo , and fuel costs are still there , besides , the price for the ships was never set , it has been said that their value in the pledges is lower than the ineconomy price . 9010 remember ? the economy is going to be set and controlled by CIG , not the players , they might only have a small amount of influence , that CIG can easily overpower if they feel the need to .
