11) What do you think about decreasing all prices 10 times so that 2 billion credit limit actually becomes 10 times larger?

since i had no commented on that one - and its newly rephrased...

sounds like an idea - if you re like hardcore and love playing freelancer for a year 24/7. - and it won t stop whining about "those powertraders that still not deserve their ships and equipment" - it ll make things more expensive - and thats about it.... especially hard will be changing pirates attitudes and traders attitudes about the "right" amount to ask for. - if everything is basicly 10 times more expensive it means that those people used to ask for 500k like me have to ask for 50k - and those asking for 2-5 millions have to think again, too. - it ll work, but it ll cause some confusion at first.

other than that - unless there is aparent cheating going on with the cards - i see no point. battleships are extremely expensive - so is armour. everyone that possesses on is allready labled a powertrader one way or another.

right now - the prices do not reflect the resources needed to build a ship, nor do they reflect upon its usefulness. - the prices are just set to "artificially limit" its users. - with a pricerange - ranging much higher - up to effectivly 20 billion ( from the current standard ) - things can be made "extreme" - but what effect will have have?

will a battleship that still costs 750 million ( but effectivly 7.5 billion ) be worth it all? - if yes, what about those that just traded for it - do they deserve it? - it won t change the players attitude much.

furthermore - if repair costs are not changed to 1/10th, too - i expect a lot more suicides - unless you decide to put a penalty onto ships that "hit planets / stars".


@Thexare:

no, the effective price is reduced - which will increase the range upwards. - so what is now 2 billion credits will be 200 million credits after "decreasing it" - meaning that there is room to make things still as expensive as 200 million + ( which means - things will be more expensive than 2 billion credits now )
