Beyond the sum of the parts, is there a desire or exclusivity factor? Are there some ships that have an additional 'Apple tax' to encourage a level of exclusivity?
Todd Papy · Live Game Director, Star Citizen

I think part of that will come through the whole manufacturer aspect of it. Not necessarily the same components, but there is that idea behind it. So, for example, an Origin ship versus a Drake ship, those to me are two very different manufacturers and known for two different things. So like you said, Porsche versus BMW, or more, let's say, a Porsche versus a Ford, those are two very different manufacturers. And so there is a certain luxury or style tax or whatever you want to call it.

When you speak about wanting it as real as possible, I just always think that it's not only the sum of the parts that has to affect these things.

And I think a lot of times, if you bought all the parts for a car, it's something like 25% to 30% more than what you bought the car for, because they can mass-produce them. But that's basically something that we're working through right now and we're trying to fix.
