I suspect White Dwarfs are worth so much because a star that formed them could not fuse elements beyond carbon so they are effectively trillion carat diamonds.
same principle why diamonds and gold are so highly valued: rarity!
If this were true, shouldn't water giants be worth a fortune? It cant be purely scarcity or they would be (or FDev need to dramatically increase the rewards for water giants. Which they should.)
The former is worth about 1,600 while -certainly not much- and I have no idea on the latter.
Carbon stars, likewise. I finally found my first one - amusingly, while scanning systems as I was passing through between bits of human space, rather than while out on a survey trip - and was disappointed to find it only paid about the same as a sequence star.If this were true, shouldn't water giants be worth a fortune?

As far as Im aware theyre worth about 1600 just like water/ammonia life giants

approximate values :
Scarcity economics basics. ELW, BH, Neutron, WD, Ammonia Worlds.....all of those are very rare, an not in abundance in the Galaxy...even if there are regions with lots of them, those regions are far and apart from civilized space....same principle why diamonds and gold are so highly valued: rarity!
you know, I've seen it but Ive never actually paid attention until now
Water giants are worth half what a standard class I giant is worth? For real? and why are class IV and V worth so little? Ive never even seen a helium giant in someone elses screenshot! This stuff needs a balance pass big time.
