It also sells for an easy 54 million per ship minimum in the neighboring sector.

There is no way a Zeus sells for only 54 million. I can sell Brigantines and Galleons at 60 million. Check your reputation with the faction you're selling to. Always sell to the highest.

Thats what you get if it has nothing on it. I'd rather quote conservative there than more than someone actually gets. (Heaven's Assertion - Paranid; Rep has 4 green bars and 53%) And a Zeus is one of the cheaper ships. Unless it came with Turbo Mk2 which they sometimes do.

I've never seen my rep level change the sale price. Interesting.

I was quite surprised to learn that rep does change sale price myself. The 60 mil I quoted you was for Green 5 and a bare ship at that. It really is worth the extra fuel to send the ship further to a faction with your best rep. It's usually the Teladi in my case, what with it not being easy to lose rep with them.

I checked it right after I read your reply. That 6 / 7 million credit difference is significant. Learning new things still, this long after the initial release. Also, adding on those extra components (Turbo Mk2 or Internal Sentry Lasers), that's quite nice. Spending 220 energy cells for that big a changer. I'm also thinking that price difference plays a key role in what you get as a rep bump for selling at specific faction shipyards.

1) Honor is a thing and it will vastly boost bail chance once you get it in the 30s. Most of my bails happen first/second try now on everything.

2) beam weaponry has completely changed capital ships.

3) Xenon capitals like K and I can carry jump beacons.

4) Abducting marines from RRF M7M.

5) The dukes always have 2 basically unguarded M7Ms roaming out every once in a while. Perfect for your first space walk boarding.

6) Running best buy/ best sell for ore and food on the Xenon hub can turn it into a trading center that nets you 10m/h upward for the starting cost of just a few TS and nothing more. No pilot training time like UT and ST either.

7) The Valhalla has a billion single-use jump beacons that you should steal to get it grounded. It also infinitely respawn Thors that get sent to other sectors to do... something? You know where to force bail an infinite amount of Thor now.

Drone repair is really, really good. No only you never need to train marine engineering, but now you don't care if your K is limping back with 37% hull after a tough fight.
