how is transport cost made - aluuksne - 10-25-2012
ok now im confused
i was looking for a god transport and i came across the discovery wikipedia page and it shows that chart with all transports.
but i noticed an odd thing
civilian gull costs 7 mil and has 1000 cargo
bumblebe has almsot twice as more cargo and costs only one mil more
after that mamoth has only 300 more cargo but costs 3mil more
THEN albatros has 200 less but costs 2mil more
wtf then perchron has 500more and costs 1mil more than albatross.
then next has only 200more but costs 5mil more.
wil this be fixed?

Something to keep in mind: The prices are not souly based on their cargo hold. They are based on where they can operate, how many/what type of guns they have, how much armor they have, etc.
So with these factors involved it may give a better insight as to why some prices are different.

and fella! some ships are really wide...and some are not!
some can go anywhere....some not,
some can survive.....but some not.
fact is...you need a trader ship that can TS,
percheron? or ...Mammoth?

Or in simpler wording: Civilian transports cost more than their house tech counterparts.
Even though all those factors mentioned above count in the price of a ship, the main InRp reason for the price difference is that houses have access to larger facilities and cheaper materials than the civilian market, which is why the house-built transports come in cheaper than the civilian ones. Compare the price range of ~3k transports and you'll clearly see this difference.

id recommend the Borderworlds Transport.
good price, good cargo capacity.
one of the biggest you can use with a freelancer ID.
pretty manouverable too.
