Thread: Stock levels 'tain't natshural!
I've just done a valuation exercise on my resources... assigned each of them a c.p.u. value based on their quality relative to their capped maximum stats and the rarity of each resource. Arbitrarily assigned each a value of 2cpu (not fantastic, could easily be replaced), 3cpu (either not that good stat-wise or a generic resource) or 4cpu (good stats and hard to find/replace on my server currently). Don't know if this is undervalued or not - I'm guessing that my stock of 496CD 958OQ 920SR 930UT Kammris Iron could sell for more than 4 cpu in a couple of months (currently in-shift on Infinity).
Turns out that the total value of my stock is 1.7 million credits according to this scheme.
Compare this to the 40k credits I've got between the bank and my wallet! The difference between my liquid assets and stock is bizzare - I can hardly afford to run my harvesters, and can't make much cash atm (2204 WS), yet I'm sitting on a goldmine, far more than my previous char, a Master Doctor/Swordsman ever made!

I hesistate to put a credit value on any of my resources... All it does is make me wish I had become a miner instead of a weaponsmith... Quite a few people have looked at my resource storage vendor with awe... But I'm far from being the most prolific harvester on my server... Just one most likely to have ancient(and rare) materials...
Liquid assets? Heh... I won't talk about that in polite conversation although I'm CERTAIN I'm far from being insanely rich... Although I do sympathize with you as I too was running missions like mad to pay the harvester bills when I first started...
