So I've played the demo and I am downloading the full game now (It's on 10% it's going to take all day lol!)
So once I've downloaded it I will buy the game but I have a question I am hoping people can help me with ;D
Do you have to pay (With IRL funds) to get better ships? Or do they come with rank and exp?
Also any tips like mistakes I should avoid making or things I should do to begin with?
Thanks ;D can't wait to the download is done then I'll buy ;D
Better ships come with rank. So becoming a lieutenant commander grants you a better ship and so on and so forth. That being said, it used to be that you paid for ship skins so your ship looked differently but they do sell some ships now. It's not necessary though.
Quick favor, please use the referral key in my sig asap, before you use your retail key. I'd love you forever. It'll add me to your friends list so you can PM me with any questions, and help me build toward rewards, Win-Win.
To answer some of your questions, the ships on the C-Store aren't game changing. They're just for the effect of the having them, and most if not all have in-game means of getting them without paying IRL money.
It's a big download. I have a cable hook up and it took several hours, if memory serves. As to spending rl cash, none of the cstore stuff is really necessary.
Yeah, I mean it's on 11% now ..so from posting here it's only gone up 1% what is a awful download speed ;s it won't be ready today and it'll take up most of tomorrow I think

Going to try the Torrent instead ..
If you already installed the game client to play the demo, then usually you don't need to download again because the demo is the full game client - your level of access is tied to your account. If you have a retail key on your account, the game becomes the full game.

EDIT PS: Enjoy the game!!
Also is it normal for the download to take long? it's on 10% and it's been downloading for a couple of hours now

so you're saying I don't need to download the client?
Correct, once you buy the game and input the retail code, your client will auto-update.

There's some patching involved, but the you can upgrade the demo to the full game by basically subscribing.
I currently have the game installed on two machines and both were demo installs.
