Overhauls, depreciation and resale values

When I bought my Clipper, I totaled up the cost of buying it and equiping it to make sure I could afford it. I just found the piece of paper with the calculations on.Smivs wrote:It depends. My regular ship (Boa Clipper) currently has a trade-in of Cr 466,619 but is due for a service any day, which should take it to well over 600,000 as it's fully loaded.
(The ship's now had an overhaul, and, disappointingly, is still only? worth 509,039 Cr.)
Ship+NEU and Advanced Compass :- 675,000Cr
Other equipment (fully loaded) :- 71,260 Cr
Energy bomb & 3x Hardheads :- 1,950 Cr
TOTAL COST :- 748,210 Cr
Now, she's just had another overhaul, this time at a higher tech-level planet (TL 11) and the resale value quoted this time was 514,341 Cr.
This means that the higher tech overhaul increased the ship value by 5,302 Cr, which is worth noting, but since purchase the ship has lost 233,869 Cr through depreciation. Ouch!
