So I paid 2.5 million to access the black market. being loathed by the pirates. Now prices in the Black Market are now out of reach. Paying the the exrtion membership fee should give you better access to the Black Market than this.

There is probably a bug in game, the access is not the problem, you pay 100 times normal cost (instead of 100% more as with other factions) if you are hated by pirates. This leads to ridiculous prices you often arent able to pay. Some mechs over a Billion Credits.

exactly 3 million for a small laser, 32 million for a larg laser, 300 million for an exchanger. We need to be able to bribe factiions to build reputation back.

Oh, wow. Yeah, I totally misunderstood the problem. That's quite the markup.

Shouldn't be surprising, the lead developer is a Jew after all...

this is the reward for playing pirates, when you play against pirates, they dont like you, so whyy should they sell you stuff for good? I prefer to play as a real merc, money counts, nothiing else. Honor? I spit on it. Other shall do the politics... anyway, i do missions for pirates mostly whhen they are against planetary gov or LIAO (just dont like them), never had a problem to buy things from BM..

I would prefer if the 'Local Pirates' actually used the reputation like the various factions.

1 section of the map they might like you as you played missions for them. Another may hate you as you did nothing but kick thier butts and take thier stuff.

1 worlds black market would be unuseable due to price but another they may cut you a break.

I have noticed that once you get below a certain rep level all the priate missions are no longer accessable and you can't raise your rep level.

As the game developers said in thier recent stream (paraphrase here) " They are pirates, you shouldn't be surprised by extortion"
