TL;DR: It costs $10 now with in game currency, but it'll be on the open market in November.

So in order to make more money you need to spend real money. You have your spacetruck, haul faster, haul more, get rich, to buy nothing…?

I know people still enjoy this game quite a bit and my opinion shouldn't take anything from that, but this pattern of finally adding new ships to the game but putting them behind "ARX Early Access" is really predatory. I have a hunch that this is done to "encourage" more players to spend cash in the ARX store, but ships shouldn't be the mechanism to do that.
