That goes back to the answer I gave earlier today. Not every ship is going to UEC shops. It's just not. These ships will be attainable in-game. These ships will be earnable in-game. That's not the same as every ship going into a store. He'll forgive me if I speak on his behalf, but I've literally heard him say these words: it's like the idea that you go into a Hertz rental car place and rent a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. It just makes the brain itch. There should be other ways. That's where crafting comes in. That's where, to an extent at the moment, Wikelo comes in. And then other ways: reputation gains and stuff like that. There'll be many more ways for you to attain these ships other than just UEC. It's frankly boring, not particularly interesting, and just not diegetic with the universe we're building to put every single thing into a UEC shop. The idea that you go to New Deal and pick up an Idris is kind of silly. So we're finding other ways, but they will all be attainable in game, one way or another, or in multiple ways.
