Just a thought, exchange it for pres, or 'purchase a rank up'.
1 cred = 1 prestige?
Great for those who have little time to play and rank up the 'long way', whilst supporting server costs.
Haven't gave it much thought but i'm sure some new players might want to get into a dread or something haha.
Some older players with tonnes of creds might want that CM rank.
Does anyone really lose here?

It would be no benefit at all to buy prestige because people would have the rank to fly shiny new ships, but not the badges.
And this actually HAS caused problems when people got prestige as an event reward, they'd start tooling around in Dreadnoughts with absolutely no clue how to use them and would get killed constantly. They'd get demoted then rank up again and immediately get killed and demoted again, then ragequit and never come back because it wasn't fun for them.

There should also be an in game option to spend 10k credits to instantly kill your currently selected target.

All of the above=
PAY TO WIN
Let's avoid categorizing this game that way please? Too many games have been ruined by being able to pay for direct advantages in that way.

Maybe activate the ability after a certain rank or play time.
Idk worth the thought, imo i think people are leaving because they can't rank up because it takes too long and requires lots of free time.
As someone said, 30mins play time, 10mins max is probably combat.
Maybe offer the ability but provide warnings
'if u suk, u will b wastin mony cus u die n lose pres'

Enhancements are Pay for Convenience, not Pay 2 Win.
They provide an indirect advantage to a player who knows what they are doing, but if a stupid pilot uses them and dies all the time anyway then it is NOT Pay 2 Win.
A 'Press here to instakill' button is the pinacle of Pay 2 Win...

Not even close, many people can take a ship with no enh on it and curbstomp someone with a fully enhanced ship. I would say approximately 70% of the game is player competence (AKA skill), 25% enh, and 5% luck (or desynch) thrown in just because.

I can't wait for the day when you can pay to skip through to the credits.
