but codes aren't that good as you think.

So why has 51 billion credits worth been bought in the last 46 minutes?

Just proves how SciData is bad and getting those weapons with regular credits is much better moneysink. This means I was correct all along and staff could have listened how to make the best out moneysink possibility.

It doesn't mean this Snak3, it just means that people were unwilling or unable to pay the standard price but that the demand has increased due to the lower cost and increased supply, which is standard economics. Once that demand surge has been fulfilled, it will go back to being just another cap 8 type deal, where people buy from each other with slight discounts rather than putting their credits into the magic money hole of the NPC dealer.

What you're witnessing is our own little discoverygc economic shock. Nothing more than that.

People spent more money on SciData guns in an hour than previously they spent in a month. That is legit example of why making them available like that for regular credits rather than via limited secondary currency is better money sink.

You can buy SOLARIS snub codes from an NPC station for about 45 million, 180 million for a set of four. The most I'd go for any scidata code, snub included, would be 200 million for four of them, max 50 million per gun. One billion for four of them would've been obscene, one billion for one gun is simply ridiculous. You're telling me you want me to pay 500m for the ship, 800m for the cau8, however many more for the equipment and then at least one more billion if I want 1 (one) code on my cap? Christ.
Locking content behind infinite credit paywalls isn't the way things should be done. Just because 3 people have 23476908576394654 billion credits across 300 banks doesn't mean that everyone else does.

tl;dr If it were up to me I'd put these cap codes on wrecks or NPC bases at prices that aren't batshit insane.

I want to keep mining scidata for reasons, reeee

Only if you ignore economics and the fact the guns aren't consumable, snak3.

In theory this is fine, but how would you compensate people who have spent billions on these weapons? If the answer is "you wouldn't" or some other token compensation, then the idea of changing the current system will be a hard pass for me and everyone else who's spent the time accumulating these pieces of equipment.

The prices are so high because people actually pay these crazy amounts of money for some guns. It's stupid the one that pays, not the one that asks. And just like this one gun costs 1 fking billion
