Ship prices displayed

May 10, 2005 CrippledPidgeon link
When buying a ship, I noticed that nowhere on the buy screen is the price of the ship listed. How are we supposed to know we're buying at blue book, and not getting ripped off? :)

For those of us who never change ships, it doesn't matter so much, but for newer players who suddenly unlock a new ship, it's probably pretty important to see how much the new ship costs.

Uhh. Yes it is. Right under the ship name. IE:

Valent EC-101 Type B
Cost : 506c

Put the LSD back in the bottle, crip.

boy, that's hard to see...

The spinning ship makes it hard to focus on that part of the screen.

Maybe the price should be larger, and displayed under the ship.

While we're on the topic of the ship purchasing screen, why don't we have a longer description about ships and their history? I've posted something similar to this here: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/6608?page=4#117771

Just... I dunno. When I was searching for the price, I was looking all around the bottom of the screen.

Though the price does change based on where you are buying at so it my not be that bad of an idea to have a blue book so people will know why buying at grey is not the best thing ever. ;p

hmm... The Blue Book thing was just a joke, but you know what, that it's beginning to make more sense.

EC-88

List Price: 10cr
Blue Book: 0 cr
--------------
You save: -10cr

or something.

Well okay, the EC-88 is a bad example, but I couldn't think of the price of any other ship.

It's kind of like going into one of those high priced stores that has no price tags on any thing....

If you have to ask the price, you don't have enough to afford it. :D

this is my favorite suggestion so far.

only an addendum to what CP already suggested, but it would be nice to see:

List Price : x cr
Last Paid : x cr
Blue Book : x cr
_______________
You Save : x cr

so that you could compair between where you are and where you last purchased your ship.
