Screw that ship. The worse part is the two hidden shops you see only after spending a certain, high amount of cash on the game. So "regular players" don't see it and "whales" do

There is something called "concierge." It is a tier of player that has spent 1000 usd or more on the game. They get access to extended ship sales, exclusive skins, etc. I will not confirm nor deny that I am concierge, although I love the game. I tell all my friends who want to get into the game to not buy anything more than the base 45 dollar starter package. Do they listen, no.

If this isn't proof that it's made to extract as much money from you as possible then I don't know what is.
