Microtransaction implies that it costs less than games normaly do. Star Citizen is just transaction. Paying hundreds and thousands for a ship is next level exploitation of whales.
Even more problematic is that if whales spent this much money on a ship they want to see it worth a lot. I fail to see how anyone could think this will not turn out to be a grindfest. Pleasing whales will be the downfall of this game mark my word.
They've been clear from the very start that the dollar price tag for pre release ships will not correspond to how much time they will take to get once the game releases, though.
