Wouldn't making sci-data guns expensive corrupt certain ships such as BS with CAU8 & BS Scanner & More?

PVE farming still exist. You can blow up stupid AI units. Or bounty huntering, if you want to spend your entire life in hunting for someone who's not pro yet

It is possible to make the guns cost a lot but be nearly worthless when sold back to NPCs, which removes the issue of corruption.

There are a few ways of doing it, the obvious one is to make a POB in Conn that sells the guns for whatever price, their actual value can be dirt when other NPCs are concerned. There is another way that I cannot explain but GMs say works.

On a scale of 1 to 100, how pissed off will people be if we made sci data cap codes purchasable in Conn for a credit value close to the credit purchase limit, though not likely as much as 500 sci data would cost..? I.e, a 500 code gun would be sold for somewhere like 1 billion credits, where at current market rates it would be worth what, 1.5 billion at a minimum?

It is understood that some people would be upset by the codes they purchased previously would be worth less by this change.

While concurrently making sci data sell-able to NPCs for about what the market rate is, so it is not worthless.

The sci data > Cap code player request could potentially stay, and would be cheaper than the regular credit purchase amount, so RP/sci data farming effort makes for cheaper cap codes than just dumping credits on it.

Below is one proposal for the pricing. Just a suggestion mind you.

Battleship Weapons:

Heavy: 200 Sci Data OR 950 million credits (equal to 4.75 million per data)
Primary: 150 Sci Data OR 750 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)
Secondary: 100 Sci Data OR 500 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)

Battlecruisers:

Heavy: 175 Sci Data OR 875 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)
Primary: 125 Sci Data OR 625 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)
Secondary: 75 Sci Data OR 375 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)

Cruisers

Heavy: 150 Sci Data OR 750 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)
Primary: 100 Sci Data OR 500 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)
Secondary: 50 Sci Data OR 250 million credits (equal to 5 million per data)

So, if you farmed sci data (or just bought it for 3 mil/unit) and made the RP and request, you can buy a 200 sci data gun for about 600 million credits. Or you can go to conn and buy it for 950 million, a mark up of 350 million.

Yup, love this - let's do it now
Rewarding RP and having a PoB production base is just great. Now it's like you go through that hassle
when someone else buys the gun at the same value at forums for no effort

I think that cap codes give too much advantage to the owner.

Grinding credits to get a very obvious advantage is the way for some asian free to play MMO. The next step is to monetize it so people can just get an advantage without grinding anything and just paying real money. While I don't care which way they will be distributed, problems begin here:

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