The entire economy needs a reboot. Food is almost useless as a healing item, and niche for other players. But food costs more than, and sell for more than, resources. Resources are heavy and worth almost nothing.
Maybe buying a ship should be a few million. Ships in space could have a self destruction mini game or something. But making ships much more rare would give the impression that the frontier is actually a ln amazing gift.
For the love of God, I’m going to mod most of this but give the vendors more money. The trade authority should not have as much money as skyrim merchants.
The physical scale of this game is amazing, slap a few zeros and the world will feel more Alice. Things will feel like rewards.

Agreed. Ships are way too cheap for so few people to have one. Not being a captain in starfield would be comparable to not being able to drive a car today.
Personally I’d like to see some changes that balance economy better for a survival mode alongside some other gameplay changes ala Fallout 4

Ship depreciation is a killer. The moment you fly it off the lot it loses about 90% of it’s value!

Yeah. It might make sense that people living in the cities wouldn’t bother with a ship, but all of the settlers living on a moon alone would absolutely have a starship parked outside their habs given the price tags. Also would definitely have some kind of Rover to get around.
