Thanks!
I was looking at the constellation andromeda ship package.. That was such a sexy ship.. I read some details and was wondering.. should i wait for 3.0? Will the ship price goes up if hit 3.0? Man.. so hesitating..
Also if i buy and play now.. will i be able to explore the space with this ship on current 2.6?
'good looking' I fully agree. was the first pledge i made many years ago even before the concept images were available.
as to whether you should pledge now or later - after so many years it really depends on your level of patience and tolerance to early access / games in open-development. like i said, it is still very alpha, and probably will continue to be in the same state for 2017. personally i think the MMO portion will be stable in 2018 or even later. but the first episode of the single player should be out sooner (hopefully)
edit: alternatively wait for a free fly week and give the game a test run. then decide if you want to commit. do note we do not know when the next free fly week will happen. these events are not frequent.
prices have actually gone up early last year for basic packages (as well as currency exchange rates). and if you want to commit for something like the constellation, we recommend you discuss more with us in our discord (see link in my signature) since it is a significant amount of your hard earned money. And remember, larger or more expensive does not mean better or uber. there is no 'best' ship.
edit2: and everything (other than your basic package) can be earned in-game.
and yes we can explore our ships in-game and do some limited missions now, but the PU is very laggy and CTD do occur. 3.0 will have the netcode improvements but that is a long way off.
