Transport modules - how much does it cost?

[Nerix]

Does anyone know how transport module costs (and time) scale with the distance?

1. E.g. how much does it cost and how long does it take to transport a 5A Power Plant (5.1mln) vs a 4A (1.6mln) over ~20kly?
2. Does the module transport cost less, when the module was bought at a discount?

Background: thinking about starting the DW2 trip with an exploration build and getting some mining modules delivered to the CG.

I don't know the formulae. To send something to colonia is about 1.3 to 1.5 x the cost of whatever it is and 3 days time. So to the DW2 CG location (#1) it will be less by some number. I am to understand that the values are not linear.

60 odd hours to Colonia, in general class A engineered 5 & 6 modules are 8 digit fees, and 7 & 8's are 100,000,000 and up. Sorry, don't have a formula and can't look in game right now for precise numbers, but I know I've transfered some 6A thrusters for 10-20 million range. Pretty sure a 4A FSD was under 10 million.

I'll post some more exact numbers later if nobody else does.

Thanks, that would be great. Have to calculate a bit, as I don't have that much spare money.

You should go exploring - I hear that pays well.

I'll do that very soon

Ok, logged in and checked. Everything is a price to transfer from the same station in the bubble, almost exactly 22k ly away, time to transfer being 60 hours and 11 minutes.

Engineering definitely changes pricing, and you have to get up to class 3 stuff before anything (at least that I have stored) starts costing more than 100k.

3A Power Plant is ~600k, with a 10% variation depending on engineering.
4A Power Distributor ~570k
4A FSD (G5) ~2 million
4A Prismatics ~2.8 million
5A Prismatics ~8.8 million
6A Thrusters (G5) ~21 million
7A PD (g5) ~10.9 million
The next two I find odd, both 7A Prismatics, one G5 Thermal and the other G5 Reinforced, both weighing 160 tons
7A Prismatic (thermal) ~84 million
7A Prismatic (reinforced) ~101.5 million.

Sorry I didn't have a 4 or 5 PP in storage anywhere, but I would guess around 2 million for a Class 4 and 4-8 million for Class 5 assuming the same patterns per class hold true, PD>FSD>PP>Prismatics from cheapest to costliest.

Edit: I was being stupid, engineering wasn't changing prices drastically, the variations were due to some modules being bought at discount once I got access to Shinrarta.

Thanks Vedmo, that already helps a lot! Good to know, that modules bought with a discount cost less to transport.
