Can some one explain why the kits kosts so much to make? Due to lagg it got blow up 3 times now and it is costing me allot to repair it each time so why the money hole for simple kits? What is the grand idea behind it?

It takes 1500 units of asteroid ore to make a kit, which means a large time investment to obtain the ores. I sell them for 150k, when I have the ores to make them.

Like he said. Its a pain in the balls to mine the resources for them.

Be careful when repairing barcs/av21s/jetpacks..... STORE them after you repair it.... then recall it.... WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LEAVE THE PLANET BEFORE STORING THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING THE REPAIR! I repaired my barc in cnet, and left it... and flew to Dantooine.... then realized i left my bike on cnet, so i stored it, then recalled it.... *BOOM*, still disabled.... I had just spent 200k on the repair kit, and wasnt happy, so I sent in a ticket, asking for a)reimbursement for the kit or b)to return the kit to me.... their response was 'sorry for your list, please send a bug report'....

id say to wait a week... repair kits should drop in price signifigantly.... they take space resources... which were expensive... the most effective way to harvest them were with a y8 mining ship.... only a few were produced before the quest got bugged... so there was a high demand of resources, and a small number of effective miners, which made them so costly... they just fixed the quest today... so more people can get out there and effectively mine... and in addition, they added the number of lasers on the ship (faster harvesting) and a higher rate of harvesting per chuck (even faster harvesting, again).... so now there will be more miners... mining faster... and competing with each other to have the cheapest prices..... so they will compete themselves right down to very reasonsable prices... id give it a week at most before the resources drop BELOW 40-50 cpu, whereas now, they are at +100-150 cpu.... just give it a week... in my opininon

I agree, with Y8 bugs being fixed in pub 24 prices on ore should drop.....hopefully making restore kits a resonable price again.

Also, if you have JTL and ROTW, I'd recommend working up your pilot skillsand doing the quests for the mining ship/components. Then when your barc gets disabled in the future, you can get the resources yourself and just have an artisan make the kit for you so you won't feel so ripped off.

Well my problem is that i only bought the barc because it could alwas be repaired when it was destroyed, Now they made it were you need a kit for it they were 90k now the 225k pretty soon it will be 500k and on and on so what the hell good is it to have a barc when i can buy a crate of swoops for cheaper then a restore kit that what i don't understand.

Heh, i got that question so many timesin game. I tell them a great way to save the money would be to mine the little you need for a kit and have an artisan make the kit for them (most of the time free of charge). I explain how to mine, and sometimes help them set up a ship for it. Every single time so far they came back after a few days (!), returned the equipment and happilypaid for a kit.
Space mining isn't for everyone. It takes a special brand of fool, like me.

150K?
Man talk about greedville.
I can space-mine the necessary asteroid materials needed to make 2 vehicle repair kits in under 20 minutes, and I sure as hell dont charge 150K.
Sheesh you greedy, lazy people. =P
