the cost of one excavator is at least 700 mill yet alone a full 5 drones plus the hull of the rorq is at least 3 bill not counting the fit so yeah that price is unacceptable please fix this build price also the harvester drone are already not worth it as it is and the amount they mine may be as good as several hulks but that price is definetly not worth

you misunderstood what I said so let me rephrase it for you " the price for a full flight of them is not worth it I never said the drone are not usefull the price of the drone being over 500 million each is not worth it harvester drone are not even worth it

You pull 1.7M M3 in the same time a max boosted hulk pulls 0.25M M3 ore.
And you whine about them being expensive? They are very cheap compared to the efficiency you get. Not to mention that you need to deploy said rorq next to the hulk to pull those numbers anyways. They are very cheap and should cost even more.
