@eladan
OK, thanks, reverted nividium to not having 1 minimum
@htmlord
You're absolutely right,
jeez, must have been too many columns & figures (& beers), thanks.
Also forgot to add built-in sell value to selling price.
Updated the spreadsheet download.
@jlehtone
With the update above the Jag Raider sell price (at rank 1) = 53,610,
this is 4,152 short of the 57,762 we were getting, because we were selling
with a 1MJ shield: the sell prices in the table don't include the
'min. config. extra cost' (1 or 125 MJ shield).
I didn't add shield sell-price to ship sell-price, because I think the not built-in
items have a rank-related sliding scale (ie 4,152 is 80% of the ave. cost of a 1 MJ),
and I didn't want to add this extra complexity (at least yet).
(Anyway you can sell the ships quite safely direct from HQ to buying shipyard
without shields, as long as you're not in-sector with that ship to catch the gerbils).
That part of the (sell/loss) equation is (currently) up to the player.
The business about selling a ship to a different race and getting a better price (for the same rank):
looking at this again this almost certainly only applies to the special-cases.
These are the Collosus M1, Titan M2 and Phoenix M2 (ES seem to have a special 'balancing' factor for these 3 ships).
In fact for other M1/M2/M6 (& TL?) you get a better price for selling at the same race as the ship.
Other ship classes seem to fit the general sheet equation for race-rank effect,
regardless of race being sold to.
eg
bought Collosus at AP for 67,807,346,
resell at LH (at rank 2) for 46,003,040 [rank 2 calc. value is 59,863,748] = big price drop
resell at CDom (at rank 1) for 61,623,391 [close to calc. value 61,624,447]
resell at CDom (at rank 2) for 59,862,722 [close to calc. value 59,863,748]
bought Condor at MoF for 67,936,975,
resell at PTNI (Teladi at rank 2) for 46,91,188 [rank 2 calc. value is 37,071,650] = big price gain
resell at CDom (Paranid at rank 1) for 38,161,340 [close to calc. value 38,161,993]
resell at CDom (Paranid at rank 2) for 37,071,016 [close to calc. value 37,071,650]
bought Centuar at AP for 9,842,368
resell at LH (Argon at rank 2) at 6,586,855 [rank 2 calc. value is 5,297,880] = big price gain
resell at CDom (Paranid at rank 1) at 5,453,607 [close to calc. value 5,453,700]
So currently the rule for getting best price would be
M1/M2/M6 (&TL?) : sell to the same race, except for Collosus, Titan & Phoenix - sell to different race
other classes : doesn't matter which race.
btw do your captured Xenon K's have built in Triplex, Fight1 & Fight2 ?, cos all the
five main race's M2 do.
