Ok we all know that you can play DS till 1st Rear k? k. But what if they moved the cap to Vice Admiral ^_^ huh? huh?! Well I know what your think (NEVER NEVER IN A Trillion Years!) But what if.... WHAT IF! You could play Vice Admiral for 2 weeks then you get a feel of the Dreads the Great Dread Poping Cruisers! It would also make the More Recent Public want to sub! (great Idea or what) As a Vice Admiral (1st Rear UnSubbed) I belive this should happen! It would make a great Market plan and Everything!

The rank cap was carefully decided, it wont be going up anytime soon, if ever.

If I could become Vice Admiral without subscribing, I would have access to the Missile Dreadnought.
The Missile Dreadnought is the most iconic ship in the ICC.
The most iconic ship in any fleet is usually the best ship.
Therefore, the Missile Dreadnought is the ICC's best ship.
And therefore, we can logically deduce that as Vice Admiral I will have access to the faction's best ship.
If it stands to reason that I have access to the best ship the game has on offer, it stands to further reason that I have no need to subscribe.
Consider the following: ICC and UGTO have Vice Admiral Dreadnoughts. K'Luth does not.
However.
Two out of three have a VA Dreadnought.
Therefore, the average can be deduced as Since we supposite that any amount that is not a whole amount is no amount (after all, 1.66 humans is 1 human effectively), we can therefore declare that the average is zero Dreadnoughts at VA Rank.
We can then further deduce that ICC and UGTO are above average on their count of Dreadnoughts available at VA Rank, and thus they are unbalanced.
As a result, I believe it important to move the two VA Dreadnoughts on ICC and UGTO to a higher rank to make the amount of VA Dreadnoughts equal for all factions, since we cannot have inequality.
We can then look at your proposal, and declare that your advantage would be one Cruiser on average, since you have
We can then conclude that I have no idea where I'm going with this, but hopefully this bout of (il)logical jumps will show you the same problem I am having with understanding the reasoning behind giving more content to free players in lieu of giving more content to subscribing players.

It is fine as it is, a fleet of cruisers can rule the MV.

Ok to the last post on this Page there are Ship Enhancements  Secondly I quote myself:- "They get to use Dreads for like 2weeks then they get dropped back to 1st RA."- So you dont have to wait till Va to sub when you can do it at any time... PLease Read the post carefully its like you look at the first line and go Nope lets right something negative.... It feels like that to me.

Your post seemed to suggest, "If you've played as a Dreadnought popping small Cruisers for two weeks, you'll want to sub", which was perceived by me to be an argument of the nature of "If you spend x amount of time doing y, you'll do z to gain extras with which to do y better/easier/harder/faster".
Giving people any extra free things in lieu of giving subscribed players more for their money still seems like a decidedly bad marketing decision.

I already don't feel like paying until I get to the end of 1RA (and hopefully with a larger player base). No need to make it even higher otherwise I really have no reason to pay.
(I think it should drop to 2RA in fact)

first i am humble and not trying to gut anyone.
second. make enhancements only availible to subscribed players.
maby give free accounts minor ones but make others unavailable till pay.
i dont see how giving more perks to paying players will be a negitive sells plan...
it would just make me want to sub befor 1A to get the upgraded stuff.
as i see it right now the only thing subing does is let me fly dreads and stations... and join a fleet.
thats to little insintive i think.
dont wory guys im hooked as i can be and i will sub as soon as i reach 1A... unless i had something to sub for befor then...
get it?
again i am humble and not trying to bash anyone.

I have to agree with this one, more reasons to sub are always good
i dont see how giving more perks to paying players will be a negitive sells plan...
I dont remember anyone saying giving more to paying players was a negative marketing plan, I believe someone mentioned that giving free players more was the bad idea
and i will sub as soon as i reach 1A... unless i had something to sub for befor then...
get it?
We should think of something else to limit to free or give to paying to make more incentive to subscribe before reaching VA. Though atm, it would most likely take a bit of work by F to implement anything else like that, and I would like to bet that more people want the dev time on something like fixing bugs etc than something like this
