Looking at the Kickstarter options, starting with a Cobra that would be worth at least 41k and then given a mere 3k starting money seems a bit odd. :smilie:
As you say, perhaps ship prices will be adjusted as the economy develops.
Well don't forget the original pricing of a Cobra III was 150,000CR and you started off with 100CR, so yes, pretty safe to say prices will change dramatically as the game evolves
