Prices are just too damn high for the average player to bu, and maintain anything above Basic gear. Hell, they would even have a hard time maintaining the unkeep suit outfitted with JUST basic gear. And once the game goes live, prices are probably going to sky rocket due to Eve player greed, and we'll only be given low priced contract to maintain our fittings.

Think about it. once this game goes live, EVE players will make our weapons (yes, even the standard ones) extremely expensive. I'm talking about guns jumping to the tens of thousands, or maybe even the hundreds of thousands for a single standard weapon. They'll do that just to screw us over, and to leech off us.

They'll screw us over even more by making contracts that'll only have a price cap of maybe 5-10k. You'll have to play 10 games to be able to buy 5 standard guns.

That's what this game will turn into.

prices are too damn high, and they're only going to get higher. We will all be stuck in militia gear once this game is finished.

Prices are, in my opinion, just fine. I love seeing people use militia and standard gear, instead of a blob of prototypes, in which case you either throw on proto yourself or die horribly in a fire with a slim chance of your gungame being able to compensate for your lack of equipment. Once the game goes live, prices will skyrocket initially. As soon as a second player decides to manufacture Dust equipment, you're going to have competition. These two might band together to keep prices high, but then A WILD MANUFACTUER APPEARS and undercuts them both. As long as more than one person makes the equipment, there will be competition. As long as there is competition, prices will drop. At some point the price will reach an equilibrium price where the manufacturers make a small profit margin while merc get equipment for slightly above build price. TBH, not all Eve players are dicks looking to screw you over for every penny you have along with your third kidney. There will be market competition, and in the end, we win.
