I understand your intention, but for new players, this is honestly a really, really bad idea. When I first started playing, the real-life ship prices put me off EXTREMELY. It wasn’t until a friend convincingly told me that I could actually earn ships in-game in a meaningful way that I gave the game a chance and fell in love with it. That also includes the ability to try out different ships and gameplay loops. The Golem is a perfect ship for a newcomer to get into mining. But since you need multiple favors and “probably” an item from the new Onyx Facilities, that makes it relatively difficult for new players to get. Not to mention the fact that you really shouldn’t be locking industrial ships behind combat content. Or at least offer an alternative: after six months the ship becomes available in-game, but still Wikelo-exclusive, and after nine months it’s available for aUEC as well. You’re frustrating a pretty large portion of your player base with the current changes. Please reconsider this!
