FDL and vulture costs. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

tdshooter · Mar 10, 2015

guys take a damn chill pill with the ship prices especially since the FDL is apparently ''favored by bounty hunters'' no way in hell a bounty hunter will ever get that ammount of money or pay the repair costs you litteraly killing the game by turning it into a damn grindfest with no real payout. oh you bored your ass off with trading for x insane ammount of hours? cool heres your fer de lance oh it got a scratch in a battle? no problem just trade grind for 10 hours and you can afford the repairs........... this is a damn joke... a terrible joke even

EDIT: ok so they apparently they did atleast fix the repair prices to be waaaaaay more reasonable and kudos for that but the pricing is still kinda rediculous i think the vulture would fit alot better with a price at around 6-10 million and the with the change to repair prices i would accept it being like 65-80 million or maybe cheaper still im not because they still can only be used for combat wich is the least profitable thing in the game

They made repairs much cheaper, now it costs like 30k to repair an anaconda from 20% hull.

I believe the actual term is "Favoured by well-heeled bounty hunters and freewheeling business corporations"

So a luxury price tag is to be expected, these are rich boy's toys

The game is already bursting with rich boys toys. There's been nearly nothing added for people who aren't already rolling in millions. The Adder is pretty much it.

Yup, all the new ships are beyond the reach of those that either play 24/7 or trade rares non-stop.

The rest will have a really hard (and boring) time progressing beyond a cobra.

What are you talking about?

Adder, Cobra, Eagle, Hauler, Type 6, Sidewinder, Viper all cost less than 1.1 million. The Asp costs less than 7 Million. Half the ships in the game cost less than 7 million. Almost half cost less than 1.1 million.

The funny thing is, even as one of the 1% crowd that's got too much money and fully fitted Anaconda, Python, T9, and Clipper I still won't buy the FDL. First issue with it is the price. Even I think it's stupid for what you get. Sure sure, they say that high investment hull but low modules. Sure but compared to the Python it's not as good imo when fully fitted out. I find the Python more of the tank with massive firepower. The other issue I have with it is the bar that goes right down your window. I'm sorry but for the so called luxury ship it's supposed to be, I'd expect them to learn how to position the seat correctly so I can see! As for the Vulture, it has a major power issue. Great little ship other than the massive power issue.

Please relax and compose coherent sentences. We can't help you if we can't understand what you want.

By the way, it looks like bounty-hunting got a reward tweak. While 100 million IS a little excessive, 22 million (and about 50 fully-kitted) isn't that bad for the Vulture - it's about the same as a combat Asp while not being a fundamentally weak lumbering Gunship.

That is my problem too, i could buy both ships twice but i have no reason for them, iam allready in a bigger ship (Anaconda) with more profit. For other missions i use my Cobra or Python.
