I don't remember that one, but that is how it was described in the book I was referring to. (I wish I could remember it's name)

My guess is Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor (spelling), based on that thing about "The Dark"

He succeeded on the roll by more than a 30 point margin. That's a comfortable success.
Just because everyone has crit fatigue doesn't mean Thrawn hasn't done well.
Star Wars ships are cheap though. Really cheap. Most of the cost of a ship is actually in paying for any crew you hire (the pay for decently skilled pilot or mechanic over a year is about the same as the cost of buying a whole light freighter outright).
Eh, you're right that it looks better than the front runner. I prefer the red-headed butler that I voted for though.

I think it was aurbun actually and I did like the guy I chose, but I can't realistically win with him.
Maybe next time we should just get the Star Wars example.

Sounds about right.
Well, just because no one else has any taste...

Well he was a humanised Core, if you look at his eyes carefully you can see the colour isn't natural.
I'm really curious as to how you came to this conclusion. all evidence that I have seen points to the opposite, with Capital ships being in the range of some of the mid-ranged planets Planetary GDP.

Looking at the price of droids, ships, food and starship fuel in the various Star Wars roleplaying games.
Of course, capital ships aren't covered in those games, but I thought we were talking about hyperdrives with an astromech and a lump of durasteel as KKVs?

OT supports this assertion, provided we're talking about individual or small-group ships. Cap ships are another story, but a light freighter / scout ship / etc? Pretty cheap.

Ocelot seems wrong for him.

soo, a design choice in a game specifically made to insure that ships were in the price range of player characters, and very likely not a reflection of the actual economics of the starships. and fairly low ranking in the hierarchy of canonicity even before the Disney cannon/legends split.
this is likely one of the very good things to come out of the Disney cannon/legends split. while there was a lot of very good bits removed by the split, there was information like this to.
10,000 credits is still not cheap. that's around how much a high end car would cost when converted.

It is also a design choice that fits very well with how characters behave in the canon materials.
Like the clip in the post by @Barondoctor just above yours.

Especially since they're on Tatooine, which likely requires a hefty surcharge if you pay in credits since the Hutts probably control the local starship trade.

Old Ben then increasing the payment by 70%? It says speeders are cheap by comparison (if Luke's going to have to sell his to cover the 2,000). We don't exactly have a ton of data on prices in the movies, either for private flights or ships.

Given how long the galaxy has been space faring though I'd say it makes sense for civilian ships at least to be quite cheap.

I actually took that as Obi-Wan hoping that Bail Organa would be able to help pay for it when they arrived on Alderaan.

So did I. The fact that Han's eyes didn't pop out gives us a ballpark for a charter flight on a private spacecraft, as compared to Luke's exclamation that they could buy their own ship for that much.
Here's some more dice statistics!
I also notice that we had a lot of duplicate rolls this turn: two 7's, two 10's, three 29's, two 55's, and two 71's. I have no idea what the odds of that are, but it's kinda freaking me out.
If you want to visually compare this turn to previous turns in the quest, here's the chart:
And here's the data:
- Our highest roll was 96 (for subverting the 501st) with 1 of the 22 rolls > 90%
- Our lowest roll was 2 (for Galen Erso) and was rerolled to 10.
- Our median this turn was 46.5 (our middle rolls were 40 and 53)
- Our dice average this turn was 43.2 (sum of all rolls is 950, divide by 22)

Translation: The dice were against us and we found a way to come out on top anyway, through making our actions nigh-on failure-proof through liberal application of bonuses.
Hopefully the dice fall nicer in the Foundry mini-turn.

Watch as HK and Grievous crit-fail immediately and fall flat on their face(plate)s.
