Problem when changing ship cost.

I'm trying to change the cost of the Eagle, so I find it in Goods.ini and changed it from 505000 to 100. But in the game, it costs 53650. When I change the prize to 0, it costs 53550.
Tried the same with the patriot. Changed from 6600 to 100. In-game it costs 1000 to much despite what a change the prize to. Am I missing something important here? Why won't the damn thing sell at the right prize?

that is because in the price is for the entire ship "package"

a ship consists of :
1. a hull
2. an engine
3. a shield
4. a powerplant
5. a scanner
6. a tractor beam
7. some lights [as of time of writing not buyable
8. the ludicrous contrails [see point 7.

so you have to edit all these items to a price of maybe 1$ to make it easier to buy

in your example the shiphull is cheaper but the equipment costs nevertheless the same and if it has good shields, well.....

the "simple" workaround would be to edit in the good.ini under the sektion
[Good
nickname = oe_hull
category = shiphull
ship = or_elite
price = 1000 <----------------------------------- the price of the hull
ids_name = 12019
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\or_fighter.3db

and here also in good.ini
[Good
nickname = oe_package
category = ship
hull = oe_hull
addon = ge_oe_engine_01, internal, 1 <--------- changing to a cheap engine
addon = or_elite_power01, internal, 1 <--------- changing to a cheap powerplant
addon = ge_s_scanner_01, internal, 1
addon = ge_s_tractor_01, internal, 1
addon = order_shield, HpShield01, 1 <--------- changing to a cheap shield
addon = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight01, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight02, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight03, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight04, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight05, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight06, 1
addon = contrail01, HpContrail02, 1
addon = contrail01, HpContrail03, 1
addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01, 1
addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02, 1

or edit the st_goods.ini for the shields

greetings and godspeed

Alternately you could price the hull as a negative number, then you would get money back from buying it... just a thought
