To say none of the cash bought ships provide an advantage is absurd. ...
currently in the game any player can fly any ship in the game for free.
that is how it was last time I saw it
there are a trillion diffferent ways you can make this work
That's for testing Sean. CIG in no way plans on having a system anything like that at release.. That shouldn't even need saying, but there it is.

how do you people know this so well? where do you get your information? how do you know this as a fact..'no way'...hell I gave you three 'ways'
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.
So just checking out the new ship. What it is is a ship you can land on a planet and begin constructing an outpost and eventually even upgrade it to a settlement.
So your 850$ is providing you the ability to colonize planets while everyone else is saving up the in-game currency to buy this ship.
My ship, the Carrack is a deep space exploration ship. My 400$ provides me with the ability to go deeper into space than anyone else can and explore it while they are still saving currency to buy my ship.
Yeah that's an advantage. I don't think it's as big of an advantage as "SOMEONE SPENT CASH ON A VIDEO GAME THE WORLD IS ENDING!" Slapshot would like you to believe but let's be intellectually honest here. It's an edge on the competition. People wouldn't buy it if it wasn't.
the assumption here is that it will cost. Here are just three example of how this could work
1. All ship need a 'flux capacitor' or they will be destroyed easily by space dust if they dont have it. however the ships you bought not only does not have a flux capactior, it cant hold one.
2. All players can rent any ship in the game for extreemly cheap. getting the money to takes about 5 mins and it grants you a mission that you are not allowed to do with your own ship. You HAVE to use one from the mission giver. Having your own ship cost 5,000,000,000,000 but renting one cost .005 AND you can rent ANY ship AND you will get missions you otherwise would not.
there is two possibles
or just make it like WoW or EQ2 in which you can get level 20 everything in about 15 mins

If we're being intellectually honest, you're oversimplifying Slapshot's position to attempt to discredit it.
Slapshot isn't against paying money to play a game, he's against the idea that, in games where players will compete, developers sell powerful items, titles, or resources that will put them ahead on day one. Those kinds of things can very much snowball into a few powerful groups of players that cannot reasonably be challenged by someone who didn't pay hundreds or thousands before release. EQ's spawn camping is an example of that effect. More recently, EVE Online shows how large corps of players can pool resources to lock out newer or smaller groups of players. The difference is, neither of those titles allowed players to get a substantial leg up on the competition before they were even released.
To say none of the cash bought ships provide an advantage is absurd. Some of the more expensive ships have larger cargo holds, this is a definite advantage if you are a trader.
The thing is SC's Anti-Fanboys or in Slapshot's case an Anti-Fanboy of anything to do with cash in video games seriously overestimate the advantage provided. They seem to think whoever has the biggest ship wins the fight.
Clearly they have never played Arena Commander, because the biggest ship is also the biggest, slowest target and a skilled pilot of a smaller vessel can tear you to pieces without you ever touching him if your aiming skills don't back up the size of your ship.
This isn't WoW. You don't just press Tab and expect all your hits to land. Anything you do in this game takes skill. Period. People who are used to swiping for or grinding for their right to win are in for a rude awakening if they try that crap in SC. A lot of no-lifers and wallet warriors are due to learn how terrible of players their reliance on stats has made them over the years.
Ah, but they may very well learn the value of aimbotting. (And be willing to pay for it)

You're stretching to absurdity. Being able to fly all ships for free would absolutely destroy risk vs. reward of PvE and PvP. There's a reason such a system hasn't been used, isn't being used here for release (there will be insurance on ships, which would be superfluous if all ships were free in the first place), and likely won't ever be used in an MMORPG.
They won't all be tree at release. That's... not really a debatable point, even at this development stage.

I'm not at all sure what point you're trying to make here. WoW and EQ2 have nothing to do with this topic and are built completely different in terms of player equipment. It's comparing apples to oranges.
And I know that if ships are completely free, insurance on ships is completely useless. Your argument assumes CIG is dumb enough to not understand that.

really?
after me stating 'my point' clearly and explicitly multiple times you dont understand it AND you think me pointing out that WoW and EQ2 has done in effect what you are claiming can not happen because its 'absurd' is not relevant to it not being possible for it to happen with SC.
If WoW and EQ2 has done what you are calling 'absurd' dont you think its POSSIBLE that SC could be just as absurd?
Or are you just being intentionally difficult out of boredom?
It IS possible for SC to make it such that ships are not worth it. It HAS been done before It being 'absurd' or not doesnt matter, its SC You do not know how this is going to pan out, nor do I

Man, I need some of what you're smoking, Sean.
because what is common place in the MMO industry is not possible in SC because its 'absurd' and clearly SC is not 'absurd' which is why it makes sense to state hunchs as facts instead of doing the 'absurd' and not state the unknowns as facts.
Yeah....
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.
When did Sean go from hyping up VR as the best next thing to hyping up SC? I can't keep up.

so for the billionith time I will tell you for grins
1. Its completely possible and easy for them to make the ships to not have an advantage as they said they will do. its easy to do, other games have done it, its not crazy.
2. I dont know if they are going to actually do it, you dont know if they are actually not going to do it so maybe people should put their raging hard on away and not pretend like they know for a fact that they are not going to do it.

So because we can't trust the word of the devs we shouldn't ever discuss anything with respect to what they have said and done in the past and how it pertains to what they have said in relation to what they want to do?
If that's the case why do we even have forums to debate about topics?

Here's another way to view this.
1) I do not believe there is a way for them to make it so on Day 1 players who purchased ships won't have a significant advantage.
2. I reject all suggestions you've presented so far based on my belief they are not realistic or probable.
3. I believe if SC really had a fool proof method to mitigate the impact they would have already shared the details.
4. I also believe they are fully aware of the initial advantage but are counting on the game evolving in an EVE like scenario where with the passing of time the advantage will rapidly diminish.
5. I think they are counting on the more skill based combat design to mitigate much of the advantage allowing players to out fly and outfight their opponent's.
6. The ship customization model will further water down any advantage gained at start
Finally, no matter which way it all goes, it won't make a bit of difference to an "average Joe" player like me.
