Don't. a few years ago I made that mistake and bought 2 ships including the starter to just access the game. How much was that total? over $300. Initially it was alright but after awhile you quickly discover there's just simply nothing to do. Also keep in mind when you "pledge" for these ships you can lose them when they finally decide to pull the trigger and roll that out. People will tell you "well you're not buying the ships, you're pledging to the game and the ship is just the reward" cause it gives you 6 months insurance with the ship. They haven't turned on that "feature" yet and I dont' know if they ever will.
Hell at this point if someone wants my account i'll just give it to them, i'm never going back to that scam of a "game". I'll switch the email and pw over to whatever you want. Then you can really get a "free trial".
I've spent a total of $5 on the game and FWIW, I think I got my money's worth. The game's development is severely mismanaged and I don't think it'll ever realize its vision, but I think it's worth checking it out even if it's just for looking at some of its technological achievements.
Im spent a good bit of money in the game for better or for worse I think this is the way it should be tried Dont spend the money on the ships. Buy a basic package and purchase ships with in game money.
