Thread: Vehicle Maintenance

I said more money sinks, but that doesnt mean it has to be in vehicles. I would like to see building maintenance increased to offset the costs of vehicles.

So I guess what I am saying is:
- Keep starship costs.
- Lower ground vehicle costs.
- Raise building (houses/factories) costs.
- Maybe include another sink that is not in game yet, such as a (small) cover charge to enter cantinas/hospitals.

unless your ship never takes any damage. But if your ships never takes damage you're probably not doing much of anything.

Last I checked being a good pilot meant you could kill stuff, so the fact that I can kill things before they kill me means I am not doing anything?

As for ship costs, I guess they do go higher... I am yet to die in my Tier 3 ship. The 6k cost was from my Tier 2 ship.

Ok, so some of you are arguing that stuff doesn't cost enough while passing around a private mail on how to get uber rich quickly? Does anyone else but me see a disconnect here? You ask for higher prices but still want to be uber rich. Why do you guys want those of us who don't know how to make piles of cash quickly to suffer? Seems like you just want to stay elite over the wretched masses who don't know the in game tricks.

Not all of us who have asked for PM have been involved in the desire to increase prices. Personally I think the prices are fine as is, because not everyone was has been around long enough to accumulate millions of credits. My account has been around for over a year, but my current character has only been around for about a month, give or take, and I'm lucky if I get up over the 500K mark for more than 1 night. I've already concluded that I'll probably only get a KSE Firespray if the guild SW gets the Schem and feels generous. I got back into the game right before the change to mission payouts, i.e. soloing, and have not built up any massive bankrolls. When I left before, I thought I was going to be done with this game for good, so I gave away everything I had built up as a master DE/Mercant/Artisan, including probably 7Mil in credits, a ton of droid parts, etc. etc., because I didn't plan on coming back. JTL changed my mind, but since my wookiee DE was broke anyway, I deleted him to make a Zabrak combat character. I'm against creating more "Money Sinks" in the game, because all that does is seperate out the "Haves" and the "Have nots" even more. The characters who have 10+Million credits will barely even feel it, where as the new characters won't be able to keep up, and people will still sell things for insane prices because people will be able to pay it.

Obviously I don't speak for anyone else, but that's my stance on it.

Just to be clear, I'm not blaming anyone for seeking to make more credits. It just struck me as odd in contrast to the OP's request to raise prices and thus reduce the money supply.
