S class reactor is 12k Nanites, but upgrade to S is 50k ?

[Harvall]

I always thought that 50k is an absurd amount of nanites to upgrade to S class. But now, we can buy S class reactor for 12k when building new ship. while upgrade is still 50K. Like, if the ships are so modular like starship fabricator shows, then theoreticaly in the game world one could just remove current reactor and put inside new one. Not even mentioning the fact that i could sell the old one and descrease the overall cost even more. I know we cant edit ships when they are done currently, but they should have at least streamlined the costs. 12k (without discounts) is a very balanced amount for an S class. Also the new discounts introduced do not apply to upgrading your ship. that way we could get minimum 25k nanites for an S class upgrade which would also be more reasonable. Right now the difference is between 6k nanites when building and 50k nanites when upgrading which is just absurd. Better to just salvage some whatever parts you can get your hands on (whether by buying cheap C classes on station or finding wrecks and dismantle) and make S class for a start until you can get the one you like.

The same stuff with multitools. upgraing ship to S class costs 50k and upgrading multitool to S class also is 50k. Like what ? where do they even go ? Starships are 1000 times bigger.

yeah but if i melt this ship with vesper sails (on a b class) will i get its sail wings for a custom ship?

No.

Sail ships cannot be part salvaged, only fighters, cargos & explorers can be part salvaged.

[whitevalfore]

It will be a fair while till they expand the customization parts listings.

[Mr.Wanaskiwin "Navarone"]

Massively unfortunate. Though what im more mad about isnt the pricing of cores, its the absolute rip off this whole system seems to be, melting a ship i seem to only get the part i wanted and not also some money? Like i can melt this rando ship i grabbed because i liked its look, get just the wings and be out like 5 million. I'd take 3/5 million.

eh oh well, still better than star citizen.

Custom ships are not branded Authentic™, so there is that.

Some folks live and die by brand loyalty, even though it costs them 3-10x the price...

I’m definitely looking forward to the end product of ship building here, since it’s pretty basic right now. That said, I like the nanite cost for the S-class. I’ve had to grind far too many nanites in the past.

We’re lucky to have what we have. They have managed to allow this and keep ship hunting a very active part of the game. We have both worlds now but not as expected. I’m sure it will grow with time.

Aren't nanites a trivial resource though anyway? I mean, you get loads and loads of them from low-tier blueprints, loads and loads from whispering eggs, loads from all the slime stuff that the omega update finally made lucrative to keep and refine, and even without that everyone and their hamster appears to have a base somewhere near a curious deposit patch, which can easily give you as many nanites as you could ever conceivably want.

Problem is, I can't stop my hamster from eating the curious deposits. I'm still nanite deprived.

since when? i've probably never had more than 3k at once and thats with farming for hours. though i think it did get easier didnt it?

Ship building seems pointless if its just existing ships that you can build. Can not alter already owned ships also is a negative to this system.

Again , very little reason to bother with crashed ships. Crashed ships are worth less then 1/5th worth shown.

Make more money gathering other items, Ships also not giving resources as they used to when scrapped is another negative.

Discovering animals on ONE planet can net you 3k nanites ... or did you not know about that??

And then there’s custom game settings. To each his own.
