Omg I put on a heavy graviton shearer today and the upkeep is 41k. So I was trying to figure out, since I am an Inergon Builder that is half of the usual upkeep? Is that not a little high xD. The other problem I have is that I can't view what the upkeep price will be b4 I buy an item. If I would have known it was 41k (which brings my total to like 59k) I probably would have waited a little while until I could afford a few weeks of it xD. Just something I saw.


I guess I just don't understand why I have to pay 1.6 mil for the item and then pay a crazy fee to upkeep em. If the weapon is mine it wouldn't be more expensive to upkeep it on my ship except the tech might be a little advanced but when ya have a lot of researchers im sure they could use there brain power to fix it xD. I had some extra space so I was planning on placing a few of em on there but the upkeep makes it so its almost not logical to place 1 good weapon and instead place 8 #&$# weapons that will be less upkeep but the same if not more damage.

Knowing the cost of upkeep for a weapon would be nice information to know before buying something.

You may have researched a bit deeper than average for your level into the weapon tree.

Consider getting more mining planets for credits, or focusing on leveling, or spinning the galaxy wheel for credits.

Weapon upkeep is always 5% of the original credit cost of the item per day (builder is half that). The more advanced weapons and modules will naturally get more and more expensive as you progress.

I will add more tooltips to the build lists to show this sometime soon.

I've added upkeep to title tooltips in the install list. Take a look :)

Awesome. The text overlaps the image in some modules though. Maybe we should keep the tooltip strictly informative and remove the image? Also, what about the question mark placeholders?

Cheers!
