What's the cost of transferring ships to Colonia?

If you need to ask - you can't afford it.

Not necessarily. In RL, I wouldn't buy anything or pay for anything up front unless I knew the total cost.

It's also about value for money. I can afford to buy 6 packets of Wotsits for £1.75 from Sainsburys. However I make my kids wait until they are on offer for £1.

I remember my first ever girlfriend saying, as a kid she'd gone on a trip with her family. After a long drive, her Dad had refused to pay the admission fee for some castle. He turned around and they went home. I'm glad I'm not alone in my tight-fistedness.

And yet, you bought ED.
Of course, you could be a LEP holder

Transfer cost to/from Colonia is approximately 1.3 times the cost of the item (slight variation depending on where in the bubble)

So you're looking at a bit over a billion for the Corvette.

I looked at this recently and I would have said it's more than that although, TBH, I might have been underestimating the value of my ships.

Off the top of my head, it was something like Cr60m to transport my Vulture, Cr250m for my Python, Cr300m for my T9 and Cr500m for my Cutter.

My Cutter, in particular, hasn't been modded hugely (just fitted with a decent FSD and rigged for cargo-hauling) so I doubt it's worth more than Cr300m.

Maybe the transfer costs are based on the size of the ship as well as the value?

As I said, though, I might have underestimated the value of my ships.


FWIW, if I was transferring a ship to Colonia it would be a Python, without a shadow of a doubt.
There seems to be a good amount of well-paid bulk-cargo missions around Colonia (paying up to Cr10m per mission) but a lot of them involve landing on platforms.
