[Qrazy]

Nope

[christian.hintzsche]

There is no pay to win in elite dangerous because there is nothing to win. The whole game is flying from a to b and killing some npc ships. the game has no goal so why not buy the ship you want for real money? Beccausye it doesnt change anything. except its a little bit easier to do you senseless playing with no goal.

Cause the developers are against this idea?..

Maybe use your brain and create your own goal? There is an entire galaxy and you seem to limit yourself. I'm currently 12,000 LY away from the bubble and I've just started my journey.

Also IMO the ability to buy ships with real money only increases the amount of griefers and PKers (if they still call them that) that come to a game.

While I'd have no problem with buying boosters that increase your credit gain by, say, 20%, buying whole ships seems a little extreme. I mean, imagine if you're a PvP player, and EVERYONE who had a 20 on hand swarms you with Corvettes.


Personally I'm a pure PvE player. I grinded my butt off for weeks to get a Corvette. But it was worth it. I feel like I deserve to own this ship because I worked for it. Heck, I only took it for a test drive in a medium intensity ressource site and earned almost 2 million in, what, 20-30 minutes?

It paid peanuts but it just feels so rewarding after the grind I put up with to upgrade and engineer the ship. And I'm not even done! It only has grade 1-2 upgrades due to lack of materials. Not to mention I'm not the best pilot, either. I barely could take down other Kraits in my old Krait MK2. And here I am in the Vette, taking on FDLs without having to be afraid of getting shredded instantly.


The whole game is about roleplaying as what you want to be. I used to play as courier because it was my best option of making money. Now I'm playing as a Mercenary/Bounty Hunter who defected to the empire from the federation, and I love it.

I would love to be attacked by a swarm of unengineered vettes. That would be hilarious.

This was clickbait people.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

You can share missions with other players to earn more credits faster though by joining a squadron or with unknown players by looking for or join as a crew member in chat. You then find some help to learn best ways to earn credits faster.
