R&D Pack Promotion Ship Stats

I will not be taking part in this R&D blatant cash grab and that's what it is.

Um...hooray for you...? I guess...?

I mean, what do you want? A cookie? Some sort of prize? You're not making any kind of "statement" by refusing to buy the R&D packs for a chance at getting one of the ships. Cryptic's not going to spot your specific lack of spending and say, "Oh, how wrong we were! Guys, guys, guys...seriously...guys...we gotta start giving everything away for free...I mean...the HARDSHIP!!!"

They're a business that needs to make money in order to continue functioning. Sure, it stinks that you actually have to spend money to get only a chance at something you want, but this isn't exactly breaking new ground in gaming. Cryptic isn't even close to being the first company to do this, and they sure as hell won't be the last. I'm not saying that makes it all perfectly okay, but it doesn't make it a crime against humanity or some such nonsense, like you're making it out to be.
