Bottom line is - you can ONLY fly one ship at a time (as a pilot) and can only sit in one seat at a time. Sure you can multi-box I suppose, but you won't be able to independently "effectively" control more than one ship at a time. So in my opinion; a of "concept" ships are a convenience - not a P2W, you cant FLY them all!

I am with Owain, better for them to have the funding that they NEED to put people in the seats to make this game possible (which they are doing) than to tell everyone to "wait until it is done" (maybe never w/o funding). It is really hard to see the employees "dedication" to the project via videos (some of them you can) - but if you ever get a chance, go to a CitizenCon and it becomes CRYSTAL CLEAR. They are working their asses off making their dream-game for them AND for us!
