I disagree, my Renzu Liner cost an arm and a leg and allows me the sense of superiority that I couldn't get flying a filthy transport.
Additionally if we look at real-world analogs of Cruise Ships and Ocean Liners, specifically the Allure of the Seas and RMS Queen Mary 2 both of which are considered the top of class in their respective categories. We see that they cost close to a Billion Dollars a piece. This isn't because the design is technically challenging, but because passengers demand certain luxury's be available to them, leading to the increase in cost.
And would you look at how much money those ships bring back over a trip or two ? Also, it's a little pointless to comper real life ship building and Freelancer, cause ... well, we all know why. However, unless someone helps a new player out, it's pretty challenging to get up to a Renzu or Luxury Liner, cause there are very few alternatives as of today. Which I would like to change, so I'm off to bother @Durandal on skype
