It was a typo, actually.... but I'll leave the typo in there because it doesn't break things.
Come to think of it. Did anybody ever actually set relative prices for spacecraft? Even relative to the average income of the average fan. How hard is it to save up for your own Blackbird or A-Wing, or what have you? The same as it is to save up for a decent car, or something far more expensive and exotic than that?
Then again, the business case for the RF-047 is based on the idea that it'll work out cheaper to sell a race-prepared dedicated machine (At Porsche 991 GT3 price point) rather than a full mulitary machine which might be at the same price or more expensive before racing modifications. That, and it sounded like a damn cool thing to do for the next year's convention.... then ran out of funding for a while ....
