Summary0012628: Why are the shop prices so uniform?
DescriptionThe shop prices in this game are pretty boring. In each grade of item the price is the same.

So, as I player don't have to make those fun decisions as to whether one part is worth buying over another because of saving 200 credits.

Maybe introduce some variance so that I can think "hmmmmmm that's a good price for a part of that type" rather than "hmmmm that's the exact price that a part of that type should be.....again".

Having slightly randomized prices here would be a cool idea, Keith.

For 0.930:

* Parts now have anywhere from 75% to 125% of their "base" price as their actual price, determined when the part is first created. This helps the store look more varied.
** All parts from old saves have the base price.

Thanks :)


I didn't do anything like this before because honestly it's throwing more-or-less worthless noise-data at the player. You should be thinking about the stats of your exo, not a few pennies either way in how badly your friendly neighborhood store is scalping you.

But I guess games are kind of noise data to some extent anyway, so have fun with it ;) At least with this magnitude of range there is some benefit to be had from looking out for the better deals.
