Prices depend on several key factors:

- Performance (speed, weapons, features) (Faster and stronger, better price tag).
- Rarity (how common is the ship?) (Less available, likely higher the price).
- Technology (Is it old, new, fancy?) (Latest tech is better priced!)

"Real" Player Experiences and Feedback
Many players love trading as an experience!
-
"I once bought a small freighter at 70k UEC. Made 450k from some easy trips later on." – Player review #1
-
"I started by building ships and it wasn't so easy to figure out the prices in this enormous universe. My experience suggests checking various marketplaces and community forums. Sometimes I end up doing calculations myself using basic knowledge of ship sizes!" – Player review #2 (I'd always check online sources!)
Key Questions for New Pilots

-
How do you find reliable ship valuations?
(Using various marketplaces within the game, and forums with fellow pilots is essential.)
-
What if the market price fluctuates a lot? (Look for safe bets).
-
What about long-term storage?
(Consider if long term holding costs make sense compared to using it for profit. )
My Personal Touch (from someone who has played a little)
The experience in this galaxy is interesting, yet you always need some sort of budget. You always want a strong understanding to succeed and have the power to buy. This universe has infinite amounts to discover! There is just too much! I enjoy trading myself (sometimes!) It's fun. You find it takes a combination of resources and luck to make the biggest gains. The thing is to explore your experience with trading or combat (or both).
The Final Verdict: A Big Space Gamble!
Ultimately, navigating the UEC ship market is part of the adventure. Knowing prices in advance and doing your due diligence will help pilots (that includes you!), decide which space craft suits them and how best to trade them or explore with them (even if it means making calculated decisions). Prices shift frequently, especially depending on many reasons and the activity of other players! Always verify recent updates! I know these aspects could be mind-blowing, but it really makes space life super intense, awesome! Good luck to all!
