Thread: Ship Prices with the current decay is crazy
Message Edited by RM-125 on 10-28-2004 11:57 AM
That's why both the decay and the implementation are on the "Shipwright issues list".

Hmm how much is a good set of armor cost you?
How much does a large House cost you, and it never ever decays unless you forget maint on it.
How much do you pay for a full set of buffs. 200K I mean for a doc a set of 36 all 6 stats?
Food once eaten its gone?
Basic FWG5 uses 93 resources and for a basic one sells for what 10k?
If your chassis decays you still have all your components for it. And as you are lvling you will be getting a new one a lot faster than that anyways.
Components decay as well--everything decays. It's like a universal law or something.
The fact that miners are jacking their prices because of JtL will only force more and more SWs to mine their own stuff (which is what I'm doing). Eventually the miners will either lower their prices or go out of business. And the same can be said for price-jacking shipwrights.
Be patient, give it time. You know you can actually do the first two tiers in that freebie, no-decay crappy ship and it's kind of fun--it's a challenge.
Well said. I am on Kauri and gather 95% of my needed resources myself ahead of time. With the price of steel lately though I am considering just selling it and waiting a little bit. On Kauri 300K of steel just sold for 30 cpu within minutes of being put up for auction! It's insane right now, but it'll get better when things settle down a little.

The prices for ships are crazy considering you can only die 10 times before you HAVE to buy a new chassis, when you repair your chassis after you die it looses 10% of its condition, having to pay millions for a ship your probably gonna loose in less than a week is insane, especially for new players.
You realize of course that the higher level of decay, the higher the demand will be for more ships, which in turn will keep the prices from dropping very fast.
The best solution to your problem is to join in and help out - start harvesting resources! Make a relationship with your favorite shipwright and sell him resources at a fair price in return for him giving you a fair price on ships and components.

I'm selling at 4 cpu right now because I'm not master. I'm also having to harvest all of my own resources which isn't cheap at all when trying to get skill in this profession. I am mainly only building ships for my PA however I need to make some back to keep up the harvesters.
not cheap to harvest ur own? even with power costs at 10ber on a 70% harvest its under .5cpu to harvest.
