The IBG cent is in most ways worse than the IDF valk, yet it costs approx 16k more. what's the deal?

Also possible that the IDF valk needs a price bump, but just saying.

Nearly every ship needs a price bump, but +1 to OP.

Ehhh, since I don't play Itani characters I don't know about how much either is better/sucks compared to one another, but price bump > price reductions.

+1 to IDF Valk price bump.

Although, just saying, a cent and a valk are two different types of ships. It's like trying to reduce the vult's price because the prom is a superior ship.

chaos, fly the ships BEFORE you comment. you are completely misinformed on how good the ships are relative to one another, or relative to any other ship.

no. it's not. Maybe a reduction on the SVG vs the SCP... but the two serve very different purposes. The IDF and IBG are very similar ships (both light interceptors), and should be priced accordingly.

Chaos, you just got owned...

Agreed to OP
+1

Of course, the Valk price would need to also need to reflect on the Mk3 prom (with respect to the IDF), for the sake of balance. Although, you do see a lot more people in SCP's as you do Mk3 and more in X-1's rather than IDF.

SVG and WTD cost more, while IBG has the biggest advantage (+1 weapon port(!)), comparing to Cent for example. Though I understand that was made for balance.

..And drop the price for SVG and WTD then.

Btw, what's the correct price line for all valks?
e.g. standart prices for Proms:
MK1 - 25k
MK2 - 35k
MK3 - 45k
SCP - 72k
