[QUOTE="Rickyk, post: 1844090, member: 9519"] Not sure what you mean by "free to play basis"? This is not an MMO (if thats what you mean) though SC has several features found in traditional MMO's. To clarify, if you buy the game once, the game is free to play forever. There is no monthly charge or anything of the sort. For example, I have bought the game with the simplest, most basic ship. It cost me $35 dollars and I don't have to pay even one $ more and will access to the full game just like the guy who paid $15,000. The only difference is that when the game starts, he gets LOTS of ships (and money) whereas I get only one. Remember, you can only fly ONE ship at a time. Also, there's no "best ship". Ships are of varying types and designs, each having its strengths and weaknesses. Plus, there's nothing stopping me from earning (or capturing) as many ships as I want provided I'm willing to spend some time in the game. It won't cost me any real world money to do so. So if you meant is this game "Pay2Win" then no it isn't. As for your other point, no one can eat you alive if you stay in safe areas as doing so would put a huge bounty on their heads and make their lives quite miserable. If however, you venture out into the unknown, then you should be prepared for the consequences of doing so as there would be in real life. Hope that helps... :) [/QUOTE]
