Ship Transfer Costs - These Prices are Nutty!

DullingWine · Oct 25, 2016

Hi

I had read about it on the beta forums, and it's true - these prices are completely nutty.

I'm at Jameson the rest of my ships are at Fong W*ng - one small jump away. To transfer my Python is >250,000CR. That's just crazy!

How did we get here? From instant travel, something we want the masses to engage in so that we can enjoy more gameplay to something that takes a while and costs so much that only the very wealthy will not seriously have to think about using.

I just don't get it!

Thanks.

PS Great job on releasing 2.2 overall

YEah is too much money!

You're running around in a ship that costs circa 200 million to fully outfit and you're worrying about 250k?

You're asking the people who may as well taken up arms in revolt against FD (This forum) how we got to charging an arm and a leg for delayed ship transfers?

I like you, you're funny.

And so it begins...

Immersion rules the game right now.

Which is rightfully hilarious given the amount of handwavium currently present.

Besides the makes-no-sense-at-all transfer times, the cost seems a bit over the top, and I'll think I'll give it a pass.

ok 250k is cheap..

if i want to move my corvette 75yl it is costing me 8 million.... ?

Straha Yeagar · Oct 25, 2016

All looks reasonable to me.

Jaques station is really a bad reference to evaluate transfer-times and -prices.

It is halfway through the fricking galaxy! What do you expect?

Troy_McClure · Oct 25, 2016

Hmm, yes they are a bit pricey!

Nm, off to Sothis/Ceos to cover it...

D'OH!!

Some other examples - an Anaconda 750k for a 1 system jump, a Vulture 810k for 160 light years. This is far, far from chump change, especially if you want to use often...i just don't think this is usable in any sustainable way.

Isn't this a facility the use of which should be encouraged? So it's easier to take part in CGs, for example? So we will explore more?

Following the beta posts it seems the Immersion folks seem to get their way over the lets play for fun folks. I don't get it either. I would have much rather they spent time on addressing the engineer cargo storage issue which when you poll the users is much more of a quality of life killer than anything....

Nice try but next time don't forget to mention the distance involved.

Also @OP, are you complaining about 250k cr, in a game where the least 'challenging' activities can net you ten million an hour?

Seems reasonable to me. Heck, I earn $80,000 just to deliver DATA between Sothis and Ceos, let alone a whole ship. If we nerf ship transfer cost, then we need to nerf data delivery and other delivery missions.
