need to keep Christmas mode up for a while so us newbs can have a chance in hell of getting a stable that has even a slight chance against the veterans.......they have over a year head start and a full stable of all reds........I'm throwing mostly greens and am going to quickly lose interest if it takes 750 to maybe make one ship better.......as I know I will never have the opportunity to buy things with platinum because I will never win a pvp against people who have spent a year building their stable.
