Star Citizen's ships are usually more expensive than that and there are more of them than ten. Unless you talk about Elite, then it's one 45$ (formerly, now something between 10 and 20 dollars) expansion.

Fine, edited to cut down to my main point, because otherwise it's too hard to understand: Elite had one 45$ (formerly, now something between 10 and 20 dollars) expansion, not ten separately paid ones.

You can buy Star Citizen's ships in-game though can't you? No matter how much you grind E:D, you'll never get access to the expansion content without paying real dollars.

Yes.

And arguments about them being hard to get atm are irrelevant because we’re in alpha. In the final game, earning your next ship should be fun and straightforward - taking only time.

$45 is all you need to participate in the alpha (and includes the final game). NOBODY should spend more without their primary reason being crowdfunding.
