Commando Archive

Recently, I was talking to some commando about the rediculous costs of grenades and I couldn't understand it. He said he'd seen them selling from anywhere between 10,000 credits to 30,000 for the most expensive ones. I really find that pretty humorous considering I was just recently reading an article that was saying thata typical rocket powered grenade that has enough power to tear up your basic land tank's armor to little shreds costs only 10$.

We are not even talking about a basic frag-grenade, that is for a rocket powered grenade.

It is definitely funny that there is such an extreme price differencein the SWG grenades and real world grenades. Naturally, the more powerful SWG grenades would cost more than 10$, but probably still not much more than 200$ per grenade, if even that.

Maybe you should start bringing that info to weapon smiths when trying to determine how much is adequate for the cost of grenades.

The problem isn't the weaponsmiths if my research is correct. It is the fact that grenades cost a lot of resources to make as they require multiple pieces be made first and then assembled. I've also been told that it is a long process to make just one stack of 5 grens. The trouble to make them seems to be what drives the prices up.

The problem is time.

Either you make grenades or you make guns.

Problem is it's one crate of grenades for one person versus guns for at least 25 customers.

Try to convince a new weaponsmith to take up the void that is making grenades and consumable heavy weapons.

Once they are aware of the profit and the fact they will feed a niche, they are happy.

Problem is no well known weaponsmith is going to give up making guns and melee.
