I honestly don't see the point of 'dropping' prices across the board, to me its a waste of time not only for the developers, but well, ok only the developers.
I am for a little realism, but remember, reality to Freelancer is like a black hole to an orange. The orange being reality. Freelancer eats reality and does whatever we theorize, but it mainly just crushes the bugger.
' Wrote:So, what do you think, what would Sirius be like if we divided everyone's credits and all the prices by a factor of 10?
This is almost exactly what Mexico did with the peso in the late 90s. I am all for this, reduce everyones money and all the prices by a factor of 10, except for the battleships; that will make those ships even rarer, which will be nice. My only concern is that which has already been said, pirates continuing to tax in millions, but I think this will only be a temporary issue during the adjustment period; a few traders may die, but thats a sacrifice I am willing to make.
There will be a transition period where there will be a lot of confused pirates, but most pirates are not idiots and they will catch on relatively fast. So a few traders will die, but everything will eventually work out.
