"Cryptic Studio’s Jack Emmert (2010): Microtransactions are the biggest bunch of nonsense. I like paying one fee and not worrying about it – like my cellphone. The world’s biggest MMO isn’t item based, even though the black market item GDP is bigger than Russia … microtransactions make me want to die.”
Fleet Modules are sold on the Z-Store at a cost of 500 zen each, they are tradeable and required to build fleet ships, but the actual fleet ships are not tradeable.
They are also on the exchange, but sell for unfortunately ridiculous- million EC.
Last I checked the Exchange, it was at 10 million+. Which basically puts it out of reach for any Silver player, who chooses not to spend real money on the game (such as increasing the credit cap). 1 billion credits is way too much, and 10 million is too little. Don't suppose they could've found some middle-ground at perhaps 100 million?
Also everyone please remeber. Only SOME of the Fleet ships, (admitedly most of the best ones), need modules. Some just need a bunch of fleet credits.
Not true.
All Fleet Ships and Fleet retrofits need ship modules plus 20k fleet credits.
Only retrofits go for 200k fleet credits without ship modules.
As of Fleet ships and Fleet retrofits have buffed stats and a extra consol where retrofits have lower hull and shields then comparable ships of there class everyone will aim for Flet ships and those need always modules.
