To hell with Armor Upgrades!

[mjolnir]

I dunno why normal armor upgrades cost up to 15 mil.

But there's a difference between armor upgrades costing that and ships costing same ammount instead.

It's mostly about setting the ships up and changing them.

If VHF would cost 20 mil instead, you need to have those the second you buy it. Now you can buy the VHF for 2 mil and even without armor have a good enough ship for any repping/tagging and making some money. So eventually you might buy the armor.

Then if you decide to change VHF to LF/HF/Bomber/Freighter, you loose just about 1 mil. If the ship costed 20 mil you'd loose 10 instead.

So you while it might seem more logical to up price of the ships, it's more convenient to have the armors expensive.

Don't see anything wrong with capship upgrades. As to why they are actually there? Well some people really like the option to upgrade their ship as they get more money. The real effect of say Cap8 vs Cap7 is by far not worth the money.
