Ya it is. After considering the situation carefully, I decided to just go for it. In part because I've decided i want to snag a merchantmen before the price goes up (right now they are 250$, but their size and other things have changed so the price is going to jump I expect), and a sabre, with the plan of spending no more than 450-500 USD period.
At the moment I think the game is very much on track, and if the game is going to last 10+ years it is a solid investment. Most of all the money will help me avoid a lot of in game work, so it should pay off. But it is a risk too.
I just wish CIG didn't use some of the manipulative tactics it uses, like limited ship sales, concept ships going for less, then upping the price later. All of these push people to buy now while you can.
