1. Do you have evidence that they are low on funds? That's quite a strong statement to make without having anything to support it.

2. As Chalupa said, it would not lower funds at all, and would likely raise funds. Basics would enjoy the temporary Unlimited Upgrade and a significant number would likely upgrade themselves.

I have wondered this for a little while too. I'd imagine that they might have at least one per year, but they don't. I wouldn't actually be too surprised if they had one in the next few months, after Ship Customization is released. I'd imagine that many basics, after having a taste of it, would want more and would upgrade.

They'll likely have some in the future, but how near is hard to tell.

Here's your proof:

Item 1

Item 2

(Hint for #2: June 28th)

Item 3:

• Lack of commumincation

• playerbase care

• support services (now rude when you claim something negative, but true, about the company)

• no developer patches to the live game

• No more "real-world" prize giveaways/contests

• Phone support closed and reopened at a cheaper site (funds must be low)
