The current costs were implemented based on the excess of creds in game. There is only an excess because a select few are able to successfully exploit colos to their fullest extent due to in game knowledge, time and developed accounts. If colos are "nerfed" than the entire economy would be ruined.

I agree, but in my opinion the economy is already ruined. The only way to get credits atm is by building colo's, getting lucky on loot or buying credits. It just really seems unfair to me that I have to build colo's to be able to buy shit, and that's why I always liked the token reward suggestion for DGs.

Re: Question: What would you pay massive amounts of credits for?
Spatzz, I'm not seeing the pervasive high cost BPs you are talking about. Aside from Pax Levitas (lol) and Oly + ships, no other Olympus blueprint carries more than a 10 bil raw credit cost. The Absentis and Delquad carry a slightly high price tag, but neither is truly outrageous in my opinion.

The only way a DGer is able to get that money is by having alot of luck with DGing... Which I never had.

Re: Question: What would you pay massive amounts of credits for?
I made over 100b in one uni just by DGing, before I learned how to do bases. You must be doing something wrong.

Re: Question: What would you pay massive amounts of credits for?
Prawn also has a 50b tag on it, those t21 god BP augs are 10b raw creds along with 5k Tit Sheets and other items.
The costs are just adding up and up and up regardless of whether you obtained a BP or not. I make a lot of colos and it is still a lot of credits to me, takes quite a bit of time to make 50b.

Re: Question: What would you pay massive amounts of credits for?
I do most ubers I can solo and I DG often, however I have never made that much money. Just my luck I guess.

Re: Question: What would you pay massive amounts of credits for?
You can make a lot of money selling augmenters. I don't do it anymore because I need them for many builds, but if you are limited by credits you won't be doing that many builds anyway.

Re: Question: What would you pay massive amounts of credits for?
Do you have any idea how long it took me to collect the money for my pos wave? I don't use colonies, and it probably took me a year to get the money, AND that was with me getting the tier three commods practically for free from my team mates!

I honestly think that regardless of the rate of credits flowing into the economy, there needs to be infinite credit sinks for marginal gains in order to pick up whatever slack there is, be it large or small.
