This morning I was looking through the gamescom footage and I found something really amazing that most people missed. During the interview with Erin Roberts a quick mention was made about buying ships in game using aUEC. This is something a lot of new people really want. Let's be honest, this game is a lot more fun in a hornet than a mustang. Anyway, the comment was ignored because it was assumed it was a mistake. However, if you look a bit closer at the Gamescom demo, you will see that this was indeed an intentional comment very much rooted in CIG’s plan for 3.1. I am really glad that Star Citizen is adding this in early. It shows they really care about the backers and want us to have the best experience possible from the start. My biggest question is will you be able to keep the ships forever or will they reset every patch? If we can keep the ships and someone finds an aUEC exploit, won't that ruin the game for everyone?
