Hyperinflation.

[McNeo]

yes, sour grapes. and not toward any of the established pirates too. I like running into Phate, the OPG, the Black Pearl, or some other well-known established ones. Apologies. Razor-happy lack of patience gunboat pirates are a bit tough to swallow.

Step 1: Buy a liner
Step 2: Get two other of your liner friends
Step 3: Convoy up
Step 4: Go to pirate hotspots
Step 5: Beat the ever-living crud out of the pirates

Words for me. Me, Zelot and JakeSG pirated a pirate yesterday after he picked a fight with us. Pirating a pirate or smashing down a lone gunboat (which liners are expert at) is well worth the drop in cargospace. Entertainment value +10 on a scale of 1-5.

About this topic though, I think the entire economic system would need to be redesigned (again) to facilitate more realistic prices. I dont think theres a quick fix by dividing prices by 10 or 100. Firestalker missiles costing 30 credits? Military vehicles costing 150 credits at their dropoff point? (if you were to divide by 100). I dunno...
