I would say 1 billion for the base outfit, and then another 10 for proper A-grade outfit for the purpose you are going to use it.

Does that 11billion A grade outfit include a 1 megaton bromellite tank?

The price point doesn't actually matter, a meltdown is inevitable.

With lots of salty tears falling down my chin, I have to say that...

I do not think you are right with that statement. FD are "doomed", no matter what they do or do not do.

I do hope that a mining/trading focused FC will have cargospace to store things in... not sure if that answers the question though?

Or an ADS ?

Nope. ADS is dead, ganked, exploded, without rebuy.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct.

It’s a shame because I used to like exploring quite a lot.

I sooo hope the carrier will be roughly 500 million, the rage threads will be awesome...

Dude, why such an underachiever? If they aren't 5 billion before outfitting I'm going to be depressed.

Fleet carrier pricing structure :

"too much" people who had their space cash confiscated by FDEV.

"too little" people who ground space cash till their eyes bled after imagining a price.

"GAH, mmm not sure why as I don't play, but probably some GAH and also doom" the forum undead.

"Its just right, and great fun wheeee" FDEV shills, fanbois and whitenights or possibly a mod conspiracy.

You forgot

You forgot those that are not in a Squad and that play this game solo...

I didn't forget that, I'm just keeping it quiet in case they are reading.

Did you dust off your router or plugged in the WLAN cable?

Funny enough the wifi is faster, but I still have my netgear 4 port router on the shelf in the garage, and the coiled up lengths of cat 5 cable are sitting in ziplock bags with it. Good times.

Give me a quick rundown on why I should play video game spaceships with you.

It's better than playing alone. I'm not that good either, so you might have a solid chance of winning. If you do lose, it's just a game!

I never realized you quitting the game was a request to meet in up game, more the opposite of that really. Call me old fashioned but I'd have sent a DM or flown towards your location in the gal-map.

Blaze your own trail though, I guess.

Not sure how you arrive to such salad word.

The multiplayer interactions is what makes this game great. The PvE stuff gives it a great context, but it takes player conflict to take it to the next level.

Different games expect different time investments to see all of their "jewels". Indeed this notion of accelerating credit progress so everyone can forget about credits has high negatively impacted the game for me. I have 1500 hrs in the game and due to how I play am still scratching the surface. But because of how the game is balanced too much of the game is currently pointless from a role play perspective.

I have no idea how to fix it or if it can be fixed (perhaps I am wrong and it shouldnt be) but imo the entire balance needs rethinking so as to give thinks like piracy and non mission salvage as well as traditional trade purpose again and credits completely redone. OTOH most (maybe not all) materials should be purchasable for credits imo.
Why on earth should iron sulphur and the like be impossible to buy with credits . (Other than "because game" which I think is a cop out myself)

Why on earth would you want to buy iron and sulphur? I accidentally pick up tons of the stuff while I'm mining and it's all over the surfaces of planets with geological signals.
