    I agree on your point. Although I know that the devs have to make a profit at the end of the day, I think that they need to look at a future implementation that allows F2Ps to gain access to the new ships, albeit at a slower rate. However, I think that unlocking all ships with gold won't be lucrative enough, so maybe we should work out a compromise that rewards consistent grinding, but at the same time, allows payers to get what they want, easily and early?

    Here's my suggestion: We know that there are new ships coming. So, there will be people who are more focused on certain ships more than others. So, since we're going to have a separate ship currency for each ship, why not make it so that, when an event starts, they allow the player to choose the rewards they want from the chests for the duration for that event? I think it will profit both players(who will have control over what they wish to build) as well as the devs(more people will buy coins because they know they're going to get only those ship pieces that they really want).

    Thanks for your support! Perhaps, we could use battle stars to buy ship boxes or something?

    That would be an interesting mechanic as well! Maybe put up a box for 30 stars with the same value as one bought with 20 coins?

    Sorry, I’m completely fine with the puzzle pieces. It’s okay having something to work towards.

    I think they might need to be ‘a little bit’ easier to get, however.

    I don’t think it needs to be that complicated.

    All we need is a ‘free’ way to continue collecting pieces outside of specific events. I’m okay with it being slow (like collecting legendary pieces), it just needs to exist.

    I do not like the fact ship pieces are specific to each boat.
    Ship pieces should have been THE currency accepted at the ship yard, and used to acquire any new boats / upgrades.
    So we could have grinded the events and chosen where to invest them.
    Have you ever visited a car showroom and every car they sell is sold in a different currency :D

    I don’t think the different currencies are unprecedented. We already have different currencies for different coloured legendaries. It doesn’t really matter that they are different. All that matters is that people have a reasonable chance to collect them.

    Somehow BB Dev understanding/concept of premium ship is different.

    A premium ship should be fully upgraded and have advantage on earning more resources than normal ship.

    Wargaming developer of world of tank games use this concept.

    Well, they may change it again in the future.

    And get rid of the 75 star maximum, it’s just annoying

    Wish there was a dislike button, sorry @Sewah I like fleeting with you, but I disagree, there should be nothing in this game that fight to win players can’t get, even if it takes slower.

    behind that rock over there
    Do I think the premium ships should be bought with gold?
    No
    Do I think pieces should be easier to get?
    Yes, you should be able to get them from normal gameplay, stars makes sense.

    The new boat was never a premium ship.
    I believe I wrongly classified it as premium.

    It's ok to disagree.

    Here’s an idea . Keep the pieces for people who want the ship early but soon as event is over they should allow it to be upgraded with gold
