| Summary | 0009053: Zenith and Spire Starships MK1 locked | ||||
| Description | Neither of these give you access to the MK1 version for free, you have to spend 1k each to unlock the MK1. Now I am fairly sure thats not a bug, but given that you have access to every other starship for free at MK1, even the Neinzul which is effectively a 4x faster moblie spacedock, is there a particular reason these two you have to pay for first? | ||||

They're locked because the change wasn't intended to increase what the players get for "free" :) Getting even a majority (let alone all) mkI starships for free didn't happen until fairly far along in the game's life. These may eventually become free, but it's not planned. |

I sort of think it fits thematically. After all, the other pre-unlocked starships are human technology, but the Zenith and Spire starships are based off of recovered alien technology and "know-how". You first have to recover that "know-how" to build them. ;) (EDIT: Except for the Neinzul enclave starship, how could I forget about that?...) From a balance standpoint, the Mk. I starships should have enough going for them that they are worth 1k knowledge. Whether they currently do or not has yet to be seen. |
