The value of a credit - Radion - 03-01-2015
The title sums it up here, how much is a single credit worth when compared to a real life currency like the USD?
RE: The value of a credit - Shizune - 03-01-2015
1.00 SC = $1.00 USD
So
1 million credits is rather just a million dollars

Assuming 1 unit of Oxygen = 1 ton of Oxygen.
1 ton of Oxygen = ~24,000 Cubic Feet
500 Cubic Feet of Oxygen for welding runs $300.
24,000/500 = 48
48*300 = $14,400
1 unit of Oxygen in Freelancer is worth between 5 and 150 Credits, around 30 Credits on average.
Therefore, we can assume that 1 Credit is worth $480 USD.
RE: The value of a credit - Radion - 03-01-2015
Jayce, by that logic though, at $480 a credit, the Atlantis carrier with nothing on it which costs 535 million credits, would cost a bit less than 257 billion USD, putting a cau8 on it makes it approach 600 billion. For comparison, the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier soon to be finished costs a bit less than 13 billion. Something there does not seem right.

Uh, ship size and value of the equipment. Also there's space. Space =/= water.

Not too mention 800 years into the future, entirely different economy and well.... RP
RE: The value of a credit - Radion - 03-01-2015
Yes, but a price increase of 20 times does not make sense, also as time goes on, things get cheaper to produce, so while I would believe that it might cost that much if it were built today, I would not expect it to cost that much a millennium from now, as all the stuff we would consider hi-tech today would be less advanced in the future. Right now, fusion reactors that don't even work completely are costing us billions, yet in game, they seem to power just about every cap there is. Therefore to explain how houses and factions can afford so many means that these goods are being made cheaper than they are currently.

no
1 unit is equal to 1 unit of cargo space. Is 1 unit of cargo space a meter cubed? half that? twice that? can the liberty supertransport only haul 5000 tons?
wouldnt 5000 units of gold weigh more than 5000 units of oxygen?
the unit is only for an undefined amount of space on a ship
RE: The value of a credit - Sandloon - 03-01-2015
Going on one unit is 1 ton. You also have to remember containers, so 1 ton of oxygen might be a lot of oxygen, but it also needs to be contained. (As shown in the thumbnail)
