I have no idea who came up with these figures/requirements, but they have now made the costs of making items and therefore the selling prices obscenely high.
The price of Gold is at Arranmore's price. If bought from Planet New London, then it is 119
Total to build at cheapest price is: 2.58m (old currency = 258 million). NL prices = 3.17m (317m)
This is take at the cheapest price found in Sirius. So those prices are going to go up the further you are from the point of cheapest purchase.

The MkIIA is even worse:
Cheapest price = 6.98m (698m) or 8.16m (816m), to make with no profit.
Seeing as a Light Cloak was selling for between 100-150m and a MkIIA for 300-400m, this is a huge increase in price and it doesn't include any profit.
And with the Cloaks having been reduced in effectiveness, I really can't see anyone wanting to a) build many of these and b) buy many of them.
If this was actually thought out and not a case of numbers/commodities plucked from thin air, I would be greatly surprised.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
