Well I decided the other day to finally craft some good weapons for my ship. All I can say is that it was insanely, stupidly, expensive.
I got a set of 4 AP DHC Mk VII crtd x3 for 20mil and I have about another 20mil in upgrades and tech boosts JUST to get it to MK XII. I haven't even got to the back weapons or the other ship equipment yet. Seriously the elite stf payout is not worth this kind of investment. Especially when I can run ground stf with much, much less EC investment for the same reward.
So I guess I will see you guys in the ground ques... as for space elites the only elites I will be running is Elite: Dangerous.

    LMAO... Ahahahhahahhahhahaha. That made my day. Good luck and I hope you have fun. :)

    Ima being playing that 'STF' very soon too ;).
    The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.

    If I understand what you posted is that you got 4 AP dual heavy cannons mk xii [crtd]x3 for a total of 40 million? If so thats a pretty good price.

    If you can craft level 15 stuff then you should have no problem making 100s of millions of EC.
    I have made about 2 billion and spent 1 billion back into the market.
    Lots of my fleet members have all made 1 billion in less than a month after getting level 15 in crafting schools.
    The dilithium is also not hard to farm from doffing and missions. Oh yeah and killing laser beam shooting dinosaurs :rolleyes:

    Also you could have spent a few million creds or farmed for common materials and crafted 100s of AP DHC mk II till you got the crt3 what you wanted. Then Leveled them up.

    I think the dilithium cost cost should come down but all in all the new crafting is not bad.

    It not the cost, I have billions of EC... it's justifying the cost. The incentive is just not there. Like you said, dil and EC is easy to farm (even without the Elites) and the elites are the only content I can think of that really require this type of equipment. Honestly I am really thinking of selling them, pocketing the profit and start ignoring the crafting system AND the elites.
    Also I don't have level 15 crafting and won't for some time. (sitting at mid 13s atm) not that you need it to craft MK II. I felt it was more efficient to buy the Mk VII at 5mil ea then to try and get a good roll on some Mk II, which would have cost even more to upgrade.
