Outfitting Now Balanced but only for Combat only vessels?

Jez · Mar 12, 2015

Modules for the now reduced price Vulture for example the Military grade Composite. Was 20 million and is now 4,433,054. (weighing 35t)

Great right? well why hasn't something like the Python been 'balanced' too? surely 51,280,361 (weighing 53t) for Military composite is expensive in comparison.

Why not price by mass? if you did then the Python Military grade composite should be 6,712,910.

Rebalancing or appeasing the vocal combat pilots?

I'm going with (B), appeasing vocal combat 'pilots'.

The only module that had its price reduced was the Armor because it scales with the ship's price AFAIK.

Everything else its the same.

A grade modules are way to pricey in the big ships for the incremental benefit they provide, the price curve for Class 6 and up could really do with smoothing out.

Leave C5 and lower as they are, or smooth it and raise the base prices, otherwise we will really see the Vulture-pocalypse.

But right now, there's no way a 800 million dollar Anaconda is worth 800 million in a fight. It's now time to give the big boys some love.

Traders usually have a lot more practice at takeoffs and landings than your average combat 'pilot' does

Indeed, inst the Armour a % of the ship cost rather than cost per ton which is what you have worked it out at.
Nothing is priced by mass as far as I am away - a Class 1 weapon is 2 tons a class 2 is 4 but a class 2 is not twice the price of a class one.

This is to balance out the crying that was done by combat only pilots before the change.
