Salvaged data costs plummet after expedition

[danceswithhorses]

Ok, so i completed Expedition 7, and must say, i enjoyed the experience overall.
It was my first expedition, and because i'm new to expeditions, it seems i made a 'rookie error' regarding the 150 salvaged data that i spent 2 days ago, on let's be honest, not very much.
I've loaded into nms today, and am noticing cool stuff which cost 100 salvaged data previously, is now 10...ouch ouch ouch.
Pros of expeditions will probably already know about this, and will have saved their salvaged data, but guess i have just learned the hard way

Higher price was due to the expedition being "perma death" i think

Thanks for the heads up! During E7 I farmed about 200 salvaged data and only spent 20 on the teleporter for my freighter. I now strain my arm patting myself on the back for not wasting the rest of it

Don't beat yourself up too much. I've completed all the expeditions and was not certain this would happen. There's a first time for everything.

Glad it worked out for you buddy

That's why I didn't buy a single thing in the expedition. The modules you get from the milestones were more than enough.

No, prices aren't higher in permadeath (or at least not so much I noticed). The very high costs for blueprints, etc., were specific to the expedition. They were trying to push people to stay on task.

I thought this as well: the higher costs (in the event) were there to constrain player's desire to pursue actions that wouldn't aid them in completing the event's requirements.

This was the first Expedition with inflated prices so there were no "pros" in that regard. It was a safe bet that the prices would drop to normal once the save converted so I guess there may have been "pros" in that sense.

The real "pros" know that Survival mode becomes almost the same as Normal mode once you get 10 to 20 hours in. The only difference is crappy inventory sizes, more extreme planets, and an almost guaranteed pirate attack in each new system.

If you are playing for the challenge, it is pretty much used up by the end of the Expedition. The only reason to really continue would be if you are seeking the Steam achievement or like the stuff you acquired along the way.
