    I mean moving (perhaps even stranded) ships to ports or repair facilities could get pretty lucrative.

    Why not ask why someone would by a luxury super duper yacht (the origin 890j) when its just for Roleplaying purposes?

    Or a base/starbase/ship building ship shy of thousand bucks?

    Anyway what’s your expensive hobby?

      Look, I get it, up to a certain point. Long ago, I played Eve Online, and I spent iirc about 50-60$ (next to the subscription) once on a very nice combat ship, not a hangar queen mind you, and took it out. Undock, jump, woops gate camp! And gone ship, gone money. It’s not just the money, it’s also the volatility of that money.

      Also, is that game out of alpha state by now? Or would just you be feeding the forever bottomless stomach of Mammon’s Space Industry development?
