Experience Starship: Estimated Return on Investment (ROI) of a common ship with all common parts

 This is an estimated Return of Investment (ROI) for a common ships with all common parts . Based on current prices of tokens as of 6-3-22.


1. Cost:

a. Wax resources: based on what  Starship GDD recommends (https://medium.com/@deploystarship/starship-nft-game-onboarding-guide-8576909358e8)

         Ram - 5 wax

         Net  - 3 wax

        CPU - 55 wax

b. Starship tokens in wax (This is about $5 worth of starship tokens) - 37.14 wax

c. Staked kyanite (Use for fuel cost)- 1 wax

d. Common components of 1 ship at current lowest price as of 6-3-2022. Buying the part individually not packs.

        Flight control - 0.79 wax

        Cooling system - 0.71 wax

        High powered thruster - 0.81 wax

        Secondary thruster - 0.66 wax

        Halo computer - 0.94 wax

        AI system - 0.77 wax

        Life support - 0.76 wax

        Shield system - 0.87 wax

        Kyanite storage - 0.79 wax

        Kyanite extractor - 2.77 wax

        Engine - 0.99 wax

        Total component cost - 10.86 wax for a single ship

Total Cost: 112 wax (at the current exchange rate as of 6.3.2022, this is about $14.49)

2. Income (based on a  approximately 11-12 hours flight -one way, sector 7)

a. Ship's net kyanite daily profit based on https://starship.primatepirate.com/ -  47.61  kyanite or 0.12 wax (at the current kyanite to wax exchange rate)

3. Return on Investment (ROI) for a single ship (if only 1 ship flying) - 933.33 days (approximately 31-32 months) . It will take 933.33 days to get your money back.

-If you have 3 similar ships (common ships with all common parts) mining, the total cost would increase to133.72 wax. The daily mined kyanite will also increase to  142.83 or 0.36 wax. The ROI will be 371 days (approximately 12-13 months).

-If you have 6 similar ships (common ships with all common parts) mining, the total cost would increase to 166.3 wax. The daily mined kyanite will also increase to 285.66 or 0.72 wax. The ROI will be 230.97 days (approximately 7-8 months).

* This report is just about the income created by the ship from mining. Other sources of income can be - the kyanite earned from people mining your planet (check out this blog about how much I earned from  mining my own planet - https://cyberspaceastronaut.blogspot.com/2022/05/experience-starship-how-much-kyanite-do.html) and income from rental as a pilot (check this blog about how much I earned as a pilot flying a Mythic ship - https://cyberspaceastronaut.blogspot.com/2022/06/experience-starship-how-much-kyanite.html).

It is important to note that if the kyanite and starship value increases, the ROI will decrease. Moreover, if the value of all your NFT's  increase, the ROI will also decrease.

Experience Starship: How much kyanite did I earn as pilot of a Founder ship with all Mythic parts

I was fortunate enough to rent a Founder (now called Primordial) ship with all Mythic parts. This ship is the top of the top.  The owner's commission is 80% so I get 20% of the net profit after tax ang gas. Using  https://starship.primatepirate.com/ , the ship needs to mine planets at sector 24 to get the maximum profit. I also like to mine the owner's planet to get them more kyanite. I only turn to other planets if the owner's planets are empty or do not have enough kyanite to mine.   In this trip, I decided to mine Planet 338948, a gas planet located in sector 24. The estimated gas cost was 1103.7275 kyanite. The round trip was about 10 hours. At 20% share minus tax and gas, I was able to get 1,636.4062 kyanite.  On other trips to different planets, I was able to get 1949.5165 kyanite per trip or 2366.5469 kyanite per trip. I noticed I am getting different amount of kyanite per trip and this is due to the pool size of the planet I am mining (I did not realize ...
