knapplc Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 For comparison, that's almost fifty times more than the cost of our latest/greatest nuclear aircraft carrier. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-us-navys-new-13-billion-aircraft-carrier-will-dominate-the-seas-2016-03-09 2 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 That's actually way less than I imagined. Yeah, I would have guessed there would have been a couple more zeros. Quote Link to comment
ColoNoCoHusker Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's based on current technology.The author recognizes the heat from the nuclear reactors would literally melt it. If we wanted to KEEP it, I would imagine a few more 0's are needed...

knapplc Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Here's one for $250! Shipping is extra unless you're an Amazon Prime member. I have this. It cost $300 about ten years ago but it was worth it. Utterly gorgeous. Not sure they even sell this set anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 trump would get it done in half the time for half the costs!!! Yeah, not paying the people he hires sure helps with cost containment. 1 Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Back to this light-hearted discussion though: I think people are either forgetting or under-estimating two, I think, very crucial elements here: slavery and theft. The Galactic Empire basically operates day to on slavery, ok "conscripts." Plus, it is clear through canon that the Empire really doesn't pay for anything. They simply invade a world, kill the indigenous populations, and steal all natural resources. So, if we're going to build a Star Destroyer, and we don't have to pay for labor or materials, that would bring the overall price down substantially. Quote Link to comment
