About this converter
The shipyard runs on flat credit prices, which makes it perfect for comparison. A Sidewinder costs 32,000 credits, a Cobra Mk III 349,720, an Asp Explorer 6,661,160, a Python 56,978,180, an Anaconda 146,969,450 and an Imperial Cutter 208,969,450. That means one Anaconda equals 4,593 Sidewinders or 22 Asp Explorers, no exchange rate needed. Fighters climb from the Eagle at 44,800 through the Viper at 142,930 to the Vulture at 4,925,620, while haulers run Hauler 52,720, Type-6 1,045,950, Type-7 17,472,250 and Type-9 76,555,840. Every figure here is the base hull cost. Modules, rebuys and fleet carriers multiply the real bill.
How to use it
Pick two ships and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first, one the matching count of the second, one the total in credits or millions. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Anaconda against Sidewinders.
Li Yong-Rui space knocks 15 percent off hulls and modules, so patient shoppers pay less than this table. Pre-built Arx bundles cost real money through the store and stay out. Federal Corvette and Panther Clipper sit above this table for a follow up.
