P2p are the only ones capable of even having zeta atm... Im mostly f2p however ship paks are one thing i bought right off the bat since i knew it was coming months in advance...and im still barely able to compete in ship arena.
I can only imagine the stuggle the f2p players are having...
Devs need to make blueprints available in other ways because the ship arena is the only thing right now and peeps are gonna get bored REAL fast if you dont give some way to progress.
Zeta event might buy some time, but real issue is a way to earn blueprints.
