When you start a racing game, do you start with the best cars unlocked or do you play the game to earn them? This is the same, you can do bounties by yourself with the arrow but it’s going to take much longer than doing high level bounties or other missions as part of a crew.
Sure, but racing games simply gate your progression for gameplay purposes. Here I’m just working at a job to eventually be able to afford my own ship, and I already do that for a house in real life. The progression isn’t gated by game mechanics, it’s gated by landlordism and capitalism. If I wanted to work a space job I’d just go played eve.

Yes. Most racing games have an arcade/zero stakes mode were you can race with almost any game. The gated progression has been on a separate story/career mode since the early 2000s. Except, you know, on the scam live service AAA mtx whale hunting games.
Last nfs game I played, I started with a clunker and did missions to earn money to buy better cars.
You know what, I’d prefer if they took the playing part out and just gave me everything so I can stare at my cars and be bored because there’s no progression.
Dude literally mentioned that racing games offer arcade (a number of things unlocked) and career (progression) as separate modes, dunno why you ignored it
I played with a friend until I could afford my own ship with in game currency. Did whatever missions I enjoyed playing to the point they started paying out pretty good. Bought more ships with in game currency.
I never cared about what is OP, but I also don’t care about pvp so there’s that.
If you want to try any ship, either rent them, wait for ies or whatever its called, or ask random strangers.

Free, sure, as long as you don’t want a ship

Last time I played in the free week, they gave you a light combat ship, The Arrow.
Or you know you could join a crew and man a turret until you can afford your own ship bought with in game credits.
Ah great, space labor for when my earth labor day is over and I really need to unwind.
Check out hardspace shipbreaker for that but good
I believe it’s called playing the game.

Or you could play a game that’s not exclusively built around currently OP cash shop items (that get nerfed after the refund period is over).
No one is stoping you though? This whole thread of argument is so damn weird.
I guess I played it differently than you.

You get ten ships to fly for the free fly event.
