Why is the ZC so damn expensive? I mean 7500 for a lvl 5 SS :S
that space station could easily own 5 or 6 ISD's at once.
the ZC generally gains cash easier, as the ZC palast (1 building) substitutes about 4 mines and they have access to piracy, kidnapping and organizied crime which can generate a lot of cash as well...
They do generate a large amount of cash and i believe if you have that salavage deal going on in a few systems, the amount of credits you can rack up from that can be astronomical.
That's true. With my current GC my daily income is 20.000 credits :-|
that's all the consortium are about, syphoning credits from wherever and whomever they can
Btw., the price of the ZC space station includes the "space superweapon" (which is mounted on the space station) and better bomber garrisons (blastboats > Y-Wings > TIE bombers), so I think it's more than OK.
