Drinks prices are unacceptable

[supitza]

Okay, so 150 UEC for a beer seems fine to me (although I'm sure TEST will bring the price down by bootlegging), but 5000 UEC for a Bloody Mary? 9000 for an Old Fashioned?
I'd rather buy a 2000 UEC weapon and stick the place up.
I think we need a patch to fix the prices on drinks or we won't be able to afford getting drunk, as our religion requires.

Clearly inflation is a big problem in the future.

It's simple economics my friend!

The barkeep sees TEST members heading for the bar, so he rushes to change all the menus because he knows we love beer so much we'll pay anything.

Does seem a bit steep considering you can get a Greycat painted for 5k or a Strife Mass Driver for 10k.

Its ok, we will just open a Bar next door, and charge 100 UEC less than them, then we will be RICH, cause we are using our own booze. Just relabeled for aesthetic reasons......

Drinks prices keep going up in a vicous cycle, .

1.)TEST gets [CONCERN]ed that SOTS is not out
2.)Test demands increased alcohol levels (currently at 25,409%)
3.)Price goes up due to supply issues and demand levels
4.)Test sends in emergeny Starbeerers (both whiskey and ale variants)
5.)Local beer production fails and prices go up further
6.)RussianJ turns up and drinks vodka
7.)SOTS comes out [CONCERN] Resets to 1
8.)Repeat steps 1-8

So i get 15 000 credits with my starter package, and that nets in 3 Bloody Marys?

this person has the correct Test attitude

Welp, looks like I'm gonna need the farmville and chemical lab for my Endeavor. Gotta keep those alcohol prices down to keep TESTies at maximum effectiveness!*

I came up with the weapon idea when I was drinking... to bad I thought of that after I sold my weapon to drink :/
