Insurance costs and such will be negligable, making the LTI and free hangar costs that came as a bonus for early backers a rather minor perk.

We will see though, as if the prices stick for ships after release, how bad would the grind be to acquire a 100USD ship, let alone half the ships in the game (which if purchased would cost over a thousand dollars easily).
As for XR, I will probably pick it up once I am working again, as I have always been a big fan of the X series and Egosoft. I just hope they learn from all of this and never go with a single ship concept again. One of the biggest draws in the X Series was the ability to physically pilot any ship you wanted.
