I always wonder what people spend their credits on when I see they have huge amounts of assets.
I mean, I've got, apparently, about Cr12bn in assets.
Given that I've got Cr5.5bn in credits, I guess that means I've got around Cr6.5bn in ships & modules.
I've got two Corvettes worth a billion each, two Cutters worth around Cr700m each and four Annies worth around Cr500m each so those seven ships, alone, add up to Cr5.4bn.
Thing is, altogether I've got 45 ships, ranging from Sideys and Vipers to A Beluga and a pair of T10s and, excluding the above-mentioned 7 ships, their total value is, apparently, "only" around Cr1.1bn.
TBH, I struggle to accept this all works out.
I mean, without going into too much detail, I've got 4 Pythons, 4 Kraits, an FdL and a Mamba which all cost roughly Cr100m (probably closer to Cr120m) to outfit.
So, that's a billion credits, right there.
Then I've got my two mining T10s which cost around Cr150m each (IIRC).
Those 19 ships, combined, create a total of at least Cr6.7bn.
Which leaves 26 ships that cost, apparently, nothing.
Even if we assume that the Assets are valued at their selling-price (which is 10% less than their cost) it doesn't seem like the game, or INARA, is adding this stuff up properly - especially if we also factor in all the stored modules and weapons I have, including things like a couple of 7A/8A prismatic shields and big fuel-scoops.
But I digress.
My point was really just that I'm not sure how people manage to accumulate massive amounts of assets, or what they do with them.
I mean, I've got 45 ships (divided into 2 fleets of 15 ships in the bubble and Colonia), another ten "independant" ships which I've built for various reasons and then the balance are ships I don't use and are in storage.
I can explain (partially) having a large number of ships cos a bunch of them are duplicates in the bubble and Colonia but, even so, I'd have to admit that a significant number of them are "vanity projects" which I don't really fly very often.
So, in a nutshell, I've got around Cr7bn of ships and that's enough to have at least one of almost every ship in the game and have two comprehensive fleets of ships in the bubble and Colonia.
I dunno how anybody could amass, say, Cr20bn in Assets, or what they do with them (if anything).
Not saying people shouldn't have huge, expensive, heaps of ships but I'd be interested to hear what people do with them or how often they fly them.
