The value of the Vega class ships, Hangars, and UL Thrusters are still overvalued. The base price for MU has been what can be recovered by 2 years of use.
For many items this is still simply too much. It is not "eco" to pay a crazy MU for a low cost amp, if the only way to come out ahead is to sell it back in 2 years for more Peds.... The same effect is in play for spacecraft.
A working Spacecraft is the only one with value, a stagnate ship with no crew has very little value <A good crew is worth more than the ship>. A Fresh out of the box Vega class with 300 SI is not worth as much as the market demands. There are too many unknown's, new ships to be released, Etc. The Vega class is able to keep up maneuvers with a quad, and offer assistance in defending or attacking MS's. However they are still very limited in their abilities, no on board hangar, smaller weapons, etc.
The Thought of a UL thruster's MU over 500 peds is laughable.... an L thruster is 9 ped any day of the week on the AU. The 4 K MU would take too many years of use to recoup, and the resale value would not be there, when you would make up for the "Eco" complaint.
Hangars.... I wish those would have something happen.... I get tired of people whining about them. It was an inflated market out of pure speculation, and to try to force the issue with MA for proper development and use... It's the same thing as the "Ahh the egg" fiasco... If the player base had not complained as much as they did, MA would have done nothing but laugh at the speculative price someone had paid for a paperweight. The Hangars are storage for now, and nothing else....
So.... Since the Original deal for a Vega class ship had involved all 3 parts, any sale with less would be worth much less in their individual parts. Otherwise its a deal in pure speculation.
If space was fixed, and all of the systems worked, and the threat of "new" ships was out of the picture.... things would be different.... But, its a broken system, and most players coming back from a long stretch just want to squeeze the new guys for all its worth...
There are too many "Unknown" Variables in play, and proper value cannot be assessed until more is made clear by MA.
