Its top deck with the windows and views my type I like touring heh
That's right, Jan. I own 4 in my home. But act fast, limited supplies are going fast!
I hate late night info commercials.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
With ship buying and upcoming renting mechanics my wallet is not worried, the organization owns this ship and as this thing has hangars
I don't see it as a ship to be playing solo on so something I'm not stressing over owning personally, just playing on
and the prospector inside hangar
Your plan to have other people buy them so you can play with them is solid though.

That the people who support/play SC here are here to sell ships because they are not hating SC on the forum here? Let me guess, you see yourself as the white knight savior of the unaware forum browsers here about the evil Star Citizen and its fans luring you to buy ships? O_o
Worry not, what does and continues to sustain the development of the project is not the people of this forum neither the prospects of it I think, and if they will one day play this game it will not be thanks to them either.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
There's no incentive to pvp over resources.
It's not magic its highly advanced science, duh! Each one of the pool balls has a weak magnet in it that still lets the ball roll but is just barely attracted to the steel plate beneath the felt tabletop.
Jumping balls can still be a problem tho, and the balls tend to clump up more than they should, and trajectories curve just a bit when passing other balls, like orbital mechanics. They dont call it pool anymore, just magnet table ball, "magtaball" for short.
You don't need to build things to have mining make sense, just the economy loop of SC having mining selling to industries that manufacture the products that supply the economy shops, this goes from ship parts, weapons, normal weapons, player armor, etc... etc...
The manufacturers of ships are the different companies, it's intentionally not a player-driven economy of the likes of EvE, yet with player input/influence but the game sets the pillars.
Now to me I don't give in much to the concept of going to gather resources to craft my ship and gear, in future terms I think the way SC puts it is quite realistic that the gatherers supply the established industries (that as design players might own/have a stake on to some extent) and that feeds into the stocks of shops.
If you expect the depth of the game ever be the craft play then you're not following the right game, don't expect it to be something it's not. There are already games for you to go craft your own ship.
What is the incentive to pvp, if not to fight over land and resources? Just for the lulz?
What is the incentive to fly an hour to some player base if they have nothing to offer, in terms of shops selling crafted goods. I can buy the same things from an NPC where I'm currently at. How is that a player drive economy?
I think that takes away reasons to travel. That will impact jobs such as passenger ship pilots and refueling ship pilots to a degree.
Now that this game needs it, I don't think it does. There are cases where the game design makes it logic such as the refueling ship ability to turn gas into fuel I think, or the repair ships needing resources/parts to repair a ship in the open-world, stuff as that is its own localized crafting where it makes sense.
Mind SC was never designed as a fully player-driven economy or a crafting-based space sim, the gathering and trade appear to be the primary focus.
It's not a player-driven economy, the game is set to have industries an example of that design...
If there is X weapon shop on a specific area of space they will generate transport missions for players to take needed products from the industry that manufacturers them...
...the industry node that manufacturers those weapons for that area will generate missions for the resources it needs from players, hence driven the trade...
The whole intended design is that stuff as if too much piracy breaks a trading route, stuff doesn't reach the destination, shops get into stock problems, prices increase in the system, maybe then transport missions get higher pays or people beef up with escorts, etc...
That is how overall the economy appears to be wanted, now with stuff like landing claims and industry nodes that you could have then you'll just feed in on that game loop buying from players, trading or hiring traders to sell your product on the Gathering > Refining > Manufacturing loop.
Or are the hoppers magically never empty/full? Like how trade kiosks work when buying in selling WiDow, etc?

No matter I am sure that if RSI had said they needed the mod community to solve the crafting that would have had total support. Everyone would have hailed it as genius. Well maybe not from those who said the engine would never work, the graphics which some said were dire, the - well a long list of priorities that people said should be worked on. Not much different from today!
Still if you had pushed the idea who knows ....
My understanding from it is that shops are not set to have unlimited supplies, set to be a supply & demand, they need deliveries to be made with the products they sell per location, and the item prices are to fluctuate based on that.
