Cut Prices In Half!

[Thexare]

I knew that title would draw some attention.

Just for everything fighter-related. Let's take a standard VHF setup. Prices rounded for easier math.

Eagle: 1,750,000
Six Class 9 Guns: 150,000 each; 900,000 total.
Armor: 15,000,000
Misc.: 1,000,000-6,000,000
Total: 18,650,000-23,650,000

That's not accounting for ridiculous purchases like Cheetah Thrusters or even Infernos that are basically standard Outcast equipment. Nor am I including codenames or Purple Goddesses; just a standard Heavy Flashpoint/Debilitator setup, maybe including a Mini Razor.

That's ridiculous.

So, why not cut 'em in half? Just fighter stuff, of course; bombers and the SNAC would be the same price, as would capitals. This would also help make fighter craft more newbie-friendly as they can be set up more easily through missions, but people would still have to trade for bigger ships.

Just so we're clear, yes, this is partially for selfish reasons too, as I no longer have a trader. Got wiped for inactivity and I don't see the point in setting up a new ship that costs 40,000,000 just to be able to set up ships that cost 20,000,000 in a reasonable amount of time.

I'd elaborate more, but I gotta go to work.
