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 of their own cannot recruit.
  • Players with less than 5 ships cannot receive ships as gifts.
  • You can only give gifts to a maximum of 1 rank above you or 3 ranks below you
  • You can keep subs up to 5 ranks below your own.
  • You cannot choose a superior more than 3 ranks above your own.

Upgrades

Some general information

  • Upgrades become available based on the number of personal ships you own.
  • The general rule is that with every six (6) ships you buy, an upgrade "unlocks". It can take a while however to get the upgrade offer.
  • Each upgrade improves the fleet efficiency by 50 credits/ship.
  • The initial cost is the cost of the upgrade at the minimum number of ships (see below).
  • If you choose to purchase the upgrade later its cost will be: number of personal ships x multiplier. So the initial costs are only when you buy the upgrade at the minimal required amount of personal ships.

Note: from amount of ships needed 111 (Navigational maps), there is no cross-reference yet, so the amount of ships needed and price can be other than mentioned. Up to 111 ships, the list is 100% accurate.
