Try training for a command ship sometime. Takes for cluckin ever.

Not many people can fly them. Thus demand is low, thus prices are low.


The ships themeselves perform very well in small gangs.

Low demand does not mean low prices. High demand does not mean high prices either.

It's actually the other way round in most real world cases. The only way, high demand can result to higher prices is if there isn't sufficient competition, which without competition capitalism can not exist. If a product is in high demand, and there is competition (capitalism), then prices will gravitate lower due to forces within competition. Often, if demand is low, the prices are higher regardless of competition. If demand is low, then collusion is easier, and a product becomes niche. Lamborghini's demand is very very low, never brought down their prices.

But the real irony is, socialists and communists understand more of what Adam Smith asserts than those who are fans* of Capitalism.

*my use of fans here indicates a blind trend. Any "ism" you choose, and for any person who claims they condone that "ism", you'll find that most have absolutely no clue how to defend their stance, in any personified way but instead simply regurgitate canned propoganda supporting that ideology fed by those in power, who in their best interests hope their citizens adhere too. Ask the average American something about capitalism, and you'll get a blank stare and a mono-tone spew of something he might have read somewhere, as for whether he believes it? It's far easier to just accept it, becuase those around him seem to do the same.
