I would buy every āpackā in The Store if I could redeem the items to my hanger. I can only use so many MTCās and most of the Skinsā¢ are for ships I donāt fly. Another variation that would help (IMO) would be to let users choose their Skinsā¢ at checkout.
They give you skins youāre never going to use because they want to minimize the value you get. If they let you choose the skins, you would pick skins for ships you use and be happy. Here, you get a random assortment of ship skins, and if you want a skin for particular ship, you have to buy it at a premium price.
Same reason itās 23 days and not 30, same reason itās 400 plex and not 500, same reason thereās a useless MCT in there.
They make bundles full of stuff, but not the good stuff. Short-changing. Typical predatory monetization.
Shouldnāt expect anything less than that after they increased the sub price to 20$
They want immediate profits at the expense of newer players that donāt know anything better. They know player retention is abysmal, so they hike the entry price. So instead of a newbro dropping 15$ once (old sub price) and never playing again, they drop 20$, or buy this pack and drop 24$. Looks great when shown to investors. Players are just numbers to be milked.
