One Credit is a lot!!!

If you look at Painite in ED it sells for 33,000 creds the last time I looked for one metric ton. one carat of painite costs $1,800 usd, there are 5,000,000 carats in a metric ton. 5,000,000*1,800 is 9,000,000,000! that means the exchange rate is for every ED credit it would be like $272,727 usd! Makes all those people that want better credit/hour seem pretty greedy.

It also makes the coffee of 3301 very, very expensive!

Either that or a millenium of inflation has passed.

Good job there is not a real money exchange rate to buy ED credits.
Want to tell me how much an Anaconda would be worth

$45,000,000,000,000,000 I got bored and figured this stuff out
PS I know there is no real exchange rate this just struck me as hilarious that they didn't realize how much one ton of Painite would really cost, because other commodities are pretty accurate

Time to save up - one penny at a time.

It's called inflation.

If things would work like that Japan would have a bad time.

1 credit -> 272,73 USD -> 3384,88 JPY

So basically, you could import a Sidey for 10 credits from Japan. Mystery of free Sidewinder solved!

one carat of painite costs $1,800 usd

How did you figure this?

 

[Lord Momo]

How did you figure this?

oh whoops that is wrong real cost varies a lot but still this is the lowest i found per carat, i just looked at different websites and used the lowest one so it would be as close as i can get it

 

[Jpotter]

oh whoops that is wrong real cost is 60,000 per carat, oh boy that is a lot more

Yea - now that you mentioned it, I found your original source.... seems the price GREATLY varies....

Alternative theory: Asteroid mining has made panite relatively cheap in the 3300 century. Compare it's price to a ton of bauxite. 200-300$ a ton right now, 216cr a ton average in game.
