Well foo. They finally release a ship I want but paying 750 million energy credits seems... uncouth to me, haha

Thought so, its the only one I know of these days for over 600k. I am still hoping they get tired of listing it and not selling.

I would buy it for 600k easy. I would buy it for 20 million. Last I looked it was 600 million. I just... cant

I'd buy it for 600m, if I had 600m. I've never needed to farm EC until I fancied those ships. Maybe the price will come down from market saturation as time goes on.

No, the price will come down when they stop with this lockbox and they do the infinity lockbox thing again. Which will be in six months or so?

What Lars said. I had given up all hope of ever getting a D'Kora for my Ferengi ENG so he could fly a species-appropriate canon boat...then the infinity box thing happened and suddenly the exchange price dropped to about a third of what it had been so I grabbed one.

To be fair on Lars' point, it won't be the next time the infinity lockbox comes :( it'll be the time the next, next lockbox comes, the infinity lockbox doesn't include the contents of the current lockbox when it is released, so the next infinity event will have the Na'Kuhl raider, which is currently not in the infinity box (which explains its price of 160m+, as opposed to the 120m that the other ships currently are). The thing propping the prices up is the whole KDF/Rom/Fed thing they did this time, because the majority of the boxes are opened on Fed characters. Best of luck in getting your ship, it is unfortunate that the market is all kinds of wonky :(

Really? That's a pity.


But yeah, the Infinity Lockbox brings prices down by quite a lot. I had not thought I would ever fly a Galor again on my new account, since they were something like 160m. The Infinity Lockbox brought it down to something like 60m at its lowest and was able to buy one with the keys I had sold. *happy dance*
