    That number is mind boggling. I can’t believe how much some are willing to spend on this “game”.

      They cater to a special subset of “core gamers” and those people have ample funds to blow on their hobby.

              yup, the one that is not finished yet isn’t and I have a loaner ship instead. You really are grasping.

            And how much did you spend for all those ships? Still just the 35 dollars that you mentioned?

              I’m sorry, I’m going to need to see your credentials and investment history before I take your advice on how I should spend my money.

                I don’t care how you spend your money, but you were the one arguing that the game is only 35 dollars and that almost all your ships were in game and flyable. So it certainly seems like you have spent more than that. So it certainly seems this game is much more expensive to the people that are still most interested in it.

          There is no need to do so. “Currently, on the Alpha and Public Test Universe (PTU), all ships and vehicles are given a basic insurance plan that does not expire to facilitate testing. At this time, it requires no upkeep or fee for players to acquire basic ship loss coverage.”
