I'm not eligible for beta access but I believe that many things in beta are much cheaper than normally.
The idea is to make it possible for most beta players to test the more expensive ships and equipment. In principle I have no problem with that at all.
The danger however is that beta players don't see realistic prices for a lot of things, and because of that will not notice/report prices that are out of expected or reasonable ranges. Currently there is some uproar (justified I.M.O.) about maintenance costs.
I think a lot of this can be prevented by -NOT lowering prices- but instead inflating bank accounts.
A very simple change, but I expect that it will lead to better beta feedback.
