A little short of 192 according to Inara.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

1.6 million to transfer the Cutter 7 Ly. They're having a laugh...

One theory I got today, is they are upping the value something insane, since the prices in beta are 10%, so maybe they take ship value, multiply it back up to 100%.

So when that's done to our live value ships of 6-700 million prices go a little nuts ?

Yeah, I had that theory too. Let's wait and see. All I know is this - if these prices carry through to the final release, the ship transfer feature will not be very useful.

BTW - I tried a few of the passenger missions in a Beluga, deploying a ship launched fighter when I was interdicted. Conclusion - the novelty will wear off very soon.....

Passenger missions yes, what would be better was if I could pop my head in and say, "Hey I'm going to system X, Who wants a lift? Rather than this current nonsense.

The fighters however are just barrels of fun, I'm absolutely loving them.

Yep. I agree about that. I guess I should say at least one thing that's positive. :)

Pulled my conda from Shinrarta to Brestla. 166ly and 32 minutes for a little over 2 million. I was ok with that. Mind you that Conda was bought in Beta, so it was only Dirt Cheap. if it was 20 million to do that, Screw that.

Now that's really cheap for the distance.

That was beta 1, they had to have changed it since cause in beta 3 it's 40 mil for less than half the distance.
