"Does that include postage?"

[Stealthie]

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm planning on transferring a bunch of ships to Colonia at some point.

Anybody care to take a stab at how much it's going to cost me?
Also, is it significantly cheaper to move them across in stages via Rohini, Ghandarvi & Kashyappa?
Also, also, might it be worth the effort of stripping off modules and transferring the modules separately to the ships? *

The ships are as follows:-

Hauler (Cr5m)
Imp' Eagle (Cr8m)
DBX (Cr14m)
AspX (Cr22m)
AspX (Cr35m)
AspX (Cr50m)
Orca (Cr70m)
Python (Cr80m)
Krait Mk2 (Cr80m)
Krait Mk2 (Cr85m)
Mamba (Cr130m)
Python (Cr145m)
Anaconda (Cr310m)
Imp' Cutter (Cr500m)

There's also a billion-credit Corvette going but I guess that's what I'll be flying.

As a rule, I usually assume it's going to cost a bit more than the ship's value to transfer it so I'm probably looking at a couple of billion credits.
Anybody know a more accurate way to estimate costs?




* And, yes.
I realise it'd be cheaper to do stuff like remove the modules, sell the ship, transfer the modules and then buy a new ship in Colonia.
That's not what I'm going to do, though, so don't bother suggesting it.

I did something similar recently, maybe this will help: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...hip-transfer-times.508431/page-2#post-7730109

Cost estimate: 1.3*its value (might be 1.31 or 1.29 depending on exactly where you left it in the bubble, but close enough)

Going by Rohini/Gandharvi/Kashyapa: will be slightly more expensive (costs are linear with distance, and they aren't on a perfect Sol-Colonia straight line), but will reduce the proportion of the transfer time you perceive

Transferring ships and modules separately: no real price difference, might be marginally more expensive to transfer separately.

So, yeah, about 2 billion credits for all of those.

I think it is in the region of ship value + 30% to ship direct from the bubble - it would have cost 760 mill to transport my T10 (with 'A' modules+engineering) - the remainder of the fleet/modules cost 700 mill total. (I stripped the T10 modules back to the Cutter then sold the T10)
The cutter I flew to Colonia, then I stripped and sold it as I really only wanted the modules

Cant you just do that, but just pretend you took the long road? I'm roleplaying a space priest, if you need absolving you could also drop the cash difference in low temp diamonds canister for me to scoop up, my son. I can also expiate using the trainer for it's high contrast mode.
