Sorry if some people mis-interpreted what I meant...
I just wanted to amke sure I won't be losing money on my endevours! I know I'm going to be investing in this at the begining, but I don't want to keep on losing money! The ground game hasn't necessarily treated me right in the ways of money, but I'm getting there!
Anyways, I'm hoping I will be able to keep my ship in good repair, keep it upgraded with good parts, and keep on upgrading the chasis!! From what I've heard, it won't exactly be huge negative flow, so that is good

You can keep yourself in upgrades by collecting loot parts and taking them to a Shipwright to have reverse engineered. Just remember to collect enough of the parts of asimilar RE levelor the SW will probably not be able to help you.
(there's a number at the bottom if you examine the part that tells you what RE level the part is: for a RE Level 3 engine, you need3x RE Level 3 engines to have that engine RE'ed. No RE number means that part cannot be/already has been RE'ed)
Also, the mission trainers pay out cash for completing missions, and as stated above, some of them can be quite lucrative

A players own skill would help, if you are good at flight games you should take less damage which would lower repair costs.

To a point. The Yacht is certainly a substantial benefit, but the other MP ships... not so much. They're extremely expensive at all ends, so what you save in maintenance you pay for up front in one lump sum. Also, they can be blown up, which causes wear and tear and credits to repair (which I'm betting pounds to pesos they will up the repair fees for live)

Another nice thing will be the ability to ditch our old homes and move to nice floating palaces like the Vets Reward or he Detonator mwhaha, Kit it all out for home and who needs a poxy old hut on a planet anymore. And no rent to pay for it either

i think i read somewhere..you can sell the looted ship components to the jawas on tat o.O
a weak alternative to RE but id like to see what a smuggler gets for a elite RE'ed item if it is true

I think after the combat revamp pilot will be a viable money making profession. They're trying to balance everything for after the combat balance, so as not to waste time.
