Many years have passed, and still just the Skybreaker frig, costs a whopping .5Bil when fully fitted,
with guns and charges (small size) costing MORE than T2 Torps…
EDNCOM ships in the market are seen like ALIENS.
IS it the Market?
IS it the scarcity for the industry behind it?
Cruisers and up the cost go up exponentially, like the TRIGLAVIAN BS (T2 Bababroga 10B hull??)
I mean sure, these ships sometime can cost more than Sub-capital ships, and have more impact on the battlefield, but I don’t even train the skills for those ships…
I cannot even fathom to fly a 2 Bil Cruiser into an Abyss C3 just to get vaporized, whilst a 666Mil Gila pass through it…
Or Talking about the mismatch of REAL making costs of one Hull *Odyssesus for example- and the paperclip tank of these ships… being threated like normal T1 ships both in resistance profile and total EHP… there-s a great inconsistency in the pricing…
Now 1Bil is seen as “normal entry point” for Battlecruisers ( Or Commando Battlecruisers)
Well the Odysseus DO NOT MATCH other T2 Commandos BC in the resistance profile…
So, is it a MARKET inconsistency or something else at play here???
EDENCOM ships are understandably rare on the market, like police cars in the real world.

This is not unexpected, because the Odysseus isn’t a regular T2 Command Battlecruiser, but is it’s own category of ship more like an Orca but for a pirate ship line.

It could get bit more Resistance bonus with the Explo skills Specialization at least…
Instead that only the Burst 1% bonus… something more like 100% Drone Damage, or a 6% Armor&Shield… a 5% bonus on top of an already 100% scan strenght bonus… is laughable…
And the EWAR Resistances? Again, Everybody seems to have forgotten those…
there’s 4 types of EWAR Resistances profiles, and only a few ships has a Natural buff
to their profiles, otherwise 99% of ships ALL start from 0% EWAR profiles
I know you would like your ships to have more and more bonuses without regards for game balance, but I’m glad you’re not the one designing the game.
Because it would be awful.
Ewar bonuses on a ship meant for long explorarion expeditions? That’s crazy out of place, totally unnecessary for it’s role and a good example of pointless powercreep.

Well, explo = sleepers = disruptors, nEuts, etc.
I don’t see why a TINY bit of love for natural EWAR resistance could not make it in the
equation. More than Powercreep it’s about survivability.
Those sleepers BS are no joke… I felt the power of those NEUTS multiple times, and 99.999%
of time it didn’t end well for me or my ship…
It was a BIG relief to have finally, after years, players NEUTS WORKING against NPCs, with ACTIVE TANK GOING, recovering that tiny bits of power to keep you alive…
this is more or less the same thing…
I’m just anticipating a situation I’m 100% sure I would get involved in if I decided to fly
any T2 Explo ship in some sleepers - guarded - Yitrium field or whatever…
PS: I have surely exxagerated, sry for having you to reprimend me, pointing the obvious out.
WHat do we do with these COMMAND POINTS NOW???
Babaroga was down to 5b at one point. Currently it’s at 7. So, it’s not at 10b anymore. The price is due to certain bottleneck components that go into it.
There’s no sorcery here. It’s a simple straightforward arithmetic.
There have been a couple of weeks since I manufactured an Odysseus, but last I did there was no mismatch between manufacturing costs and the hull. I’ll get on and start a few new huils, but I’m pretty sure it’s still priced at what it costs to build it.
Hulls are not priced according to their tank or resistance profile. You should know that. They’re only priced according to manufacturing costs + demand.
And yes, i regularly manufacture both Babaroga and Odysseus hulls.
