I'm sure this must have been suggested before but there is nothing to spend your cash on
it is easy to make 10mill + a day but all the ships and weapons cost peanuts
there should be stuff that costs millions/billions

like space stations and shields and lions and tigers and oh my

incase you wondered where the quote came from

Quote comes from "The Wizard of Oz" originally.

This is what the economy redux is planned to fix, I think. What the devs plan to do for the economy redux, I don't know.

Some cap ship parts have been valued in the hundreds of millions of credits range by players.

Phaserlight, when I did those calculations I obviously was not considering that there is a massive shortage of capship parts that would obviously push the prices up dramatically. There is no real open market for capship parts anyway - those are baseline opportunity cost calculations considering haulage distance and what else you could trade in the same time.

The VO currency is worth basically nothing because it isn't scarce and there isn't equal inputs and outputs so it undergoes massive levels of depreciation as more and more players play in the game.

so let us buy them in station for hundreds of millions of credits then

No, that would defeat player-player trade. Let players post a price for their item, so another can buy it, in the station.
That way, the player can value their own hard work..

This will fix the stupid argument of "we have too much cash", and "there's no Player-Player trade".
