As the exploration of the universe as we know it continues, we discover new technology to enhance ourselves. Better shields, better engines, better reactors, and most importantly (to some) better weapons.

Some of the technology in the newfound weaponry were able to be reproduced by intrepid weapon builders, though many people grumbled about the costs of such weaponry.

"I wanted a Dark Matter launcher for myself..." grumbled one frustrated Terran Warrior, "but I was charged 100 million credits! This is nuts!"

Why are these weapons costing so much? Is it because of the materials required, or simply because of the greed of those making the weapons? As I asked others this, the issue seemed fairly divided.

As this story continues, I will continue reporting on the price hikes on weapons.
