Are you wondering why some players get different prices for their spaceships or ground units than you do?
Here’s your explanation.

==Spaceships==
 
Prices in the Trading Center are always based on your own cost for a unit. These costs are calculated from the base cost of the unit and your level in [[Shipbuilding Technology]], which increases the resource cost by 1% per level. Since V4.4, build time is also included, with 1 Credit charged per second of construction time. 
In the following examples, construction time costs are directly shown in the Credit values for simplicity.
 
Example: 
<div style="color: green; background-color: black; font-size: 10pt;float:center; border:thin solid green;">
Base Costs for Fictional Hega Mothership 
10,000 Durasteel 
10,000 Tibanna Gas 
10,000 Crystal 
10,000 Credits 
100 Ezellen 
</div>
<div style="color: yellow; background-color: black; font-size: 10pt;float:center; border:thin solid yellow;">Your Shipbuilding Tech: 20 
Your Production Costs for Fictional Hega Mothership 
12,000 Durasteel 
12,000 Tibanna Gas 
12,000 Crystal 
12,000 Credits 
100 Ezellen 
</div>
 
To make 0% profit, you would need to offer your unit at your own production cost.
 
'''But why can another player offer at higher or lower prices while still making 0% profit?'''
 
This is due to differing research levels in [[Shipbuilding Technology]].
 
Example 2: 
<div style="color: green; background-color: black; font-size: 10pt;float:center; border:thin solid green;">
Production Costs of Player B with Shipbuilding Tech 10 
11,000 Durasteel 
11,000 Tibanna Gas 
11,000 Crystal 
11,000 Credits 
100 Ezellen 
 
 
Production Costs of Player C with Shipbuilding Tech 50 
15,000 Durasteel 
15,000 Tibanna Gas 
15,000 Crystal 
15,000 Credits 
100 Ezellen 
</div>
 
Conclusion
 
If you buy ships from a producer with higher [[Shipbuilding Technology]] than yours, you’ll pay more than your own production cost.
Conversely, you can buy ships cheaper than your own cost if you have a higher [[Shipbuilding Technology]] level than the seller.
 
 

==Ground Units==
 
The situation with ground units is the same as with spaceships, except that the [[Shipbuilding Technology]] is not the deciding factor. Instead, the cost is determined by the level of the production buildings:
 
[[Vehicle Factory|Vehicle Depot / Weapons Factory]] 
[[Recruitment Camp|Recruitment Camp / Troop Training Facility]]
 
– each of which provides a 1.5% cost reduction per level. Note that costs decrease with higher building levels!
