Cap 8 (and indeed most capital class armour) seems to be mainly a money sink for the community of hard working traders and pirates, something to spend all those hard earned credits on.
which is fine.
however I want to know if the cost displayed ingame is how much people think it would actually cost to armour a ship in such a way.
This is not a "I think armour costs too much" thread.
I am wondering if its cost in game is that much because thats how much it would actually cost, or if its that much in game for (as previously stated) money sink / balance reasons.
what are your opinions the in role play cost, vs the dev balance cost, are they the same or not, how much do they differ from one another in your opinion.
