Victory bonds

Post by Tivva »

I've searched the archive & couldn't find an answer so...

Is it worthwhile buying victory bonds?

How many do you need to buy before you receive the promised discounts/ free fuel , etc from seccom stations?

Try the thread for Galactic Navy.oxp, or just try it out.

But essentially the bonds are just a way of getting rid of excess money, and getting a warm, fuzzy feeling from helping the navy.

Matt (the creator of the Galactic Navy OXP) posted the following calculation in another thread:
Buy 25 Victory Bonds (25,000 credits) - price factor drops to 1.5
Buy 50 Victory Bonds - price factor of 1 (now SecComs are on par with main stations)
Buy 100 and the factor drops to 0.5 - this would be a big draw to the SecCom as they have the best equipment at the best prices!
