Ship pricing formulas are as follows:

• Standard purchase formula: Price = SPF * (Ships Owned) * (Ships Owned)
• Discounted purchase formula: Price = SPF * .75 * (Ships Owned) * (Ships Owned)
• Standard sale formula: Price = SPF * .75 * (Ships Owned - 1) * (Ships Owned - 1)
• Bonus sale formula: Price = 1.2 * SPF * (Ships Owned) * (Ships Owned)

SPF is Ship Purchase Factor and is based on your current rank.

At some moment, when you are Trade Broker, prices of ships are leveled to round figures (upwards). So a ship costs - considering what's above - 2,346,280 credits, you pay 2.4 million.

I believe this is when a ship price reaches over 1 million

Limitations:

• Players with less than 5 ships (Runner) of their own can't recruit
• Players with less than 5 ships can't receive ships as gifts (message: player too inexperienced)
• You can only give ships to a maximum of 1 rank above you or all ranks below you (except for what is mentioned above)
• You can keep subordinates up to 5 ranks below your own
• You can't choose a superior more than 3 ranks above your own
• Players with equal ranks (at least up to the rank of Captain) can't choose each other as superior/subordinate (perhaps it will be possible at the rank of Director)
