Ok, we GET that some people farm codies. One Arms Dealer I know farms them, and is very rich becuase of it.
However, there is a reason we don't sell Level 4 Magma Hammer's...becuase you can buy them yourself thirty seconds away...
In real life, do prices change? Hell yeah.
In Freelancer, do prices change? Nope.
What we do is add more realism to the game, making a service, and a shop, that changes with the customer. So if you think we're ooRP, maybe think about the good we do aswell.
Not to mention I can't be arsed to go look for them myself...
I'd rather shell out 40 mil for a quad of awesome-looking codes.
Yes, the main reason I use them is their look, and sound...
Firekiss-sounding weapons are amazing in my book.

you've put seth in a mood, though you should have the energy to go to Misourri and buy em, if not, what are you doing here?
First off.. how many people actually used a load out of 4 codes? There HARD to hit will... 600 speed is crude... and there is not point to have only 2 codes or 1 code.. there speed is so low compared to anything else that is screws up your aim so bad its pointless... so its a full load out of codes or no codes at all. There not some uber things. but if you know how to use them they can be usefull. Given.. There are people who camp the wrecks, and there are some people who can and cant be on during hte resets, but still... Get on a trader and go farm some credits and just buy them from a dealer... If you cnat get them codes use something else.
As for the ooRP aspect of the guns, one could say that the codenames where all classified wepons used in the earlyier wars and there spec sheets where lost. They where so advanced that no one can reverse enginer them.
As for the price... Deal with it.. there is nothing else in the game that costs money unless you want a BC or a BS
Answer me this.. How many people here have over 250 million that they just have and arent doing anything with? Many.. so just stop the complaing and go buy yourself some codes.

wow, that's some first post.
I have a bomber that uses four codes. I have over 700m spread out over 8-9 characters. The reason I have 8-9 characters is so i can trade and farm codes, fight battles, store stuff, etc etc. the reason i have 700m is that i don't spend it out all at once, on a vastly inflated code gun, that was procured free, and has sat in the belly of a lux liner for the last 6 months.
But you seem to have missed the point of this thread: not 'waah, codes are expensive' but 'codes should/should not be sold on bases'
adv: lolwutting hackers dont crash the server for codies
disadv: weapons dealers take a massive hit.

A final hit!
I had have an arm-dealer-char on other server years before. On aurora u needed much rep for the best weapons. So i buyed on base and sold in NY. That wasnt a RP server. Here, on Disco, a weapon dealer have codies, nothing else. If there isnt any rare weapon, no weapon dealer can exist.
Make class 10 guns, for each faction, and make them equal to codies. So nobody needs codies for fire power, but as a part of RP or only for the nice effects. Or make codies dropable in guard systems with 1:1000 relating.
I didnt own a weapon dealer here, and i "farmed" a few pair of codies myself in past. That codies are mounted on my ships. Some codies i bought, because of empty wrecks and to save time (not money).
