Maybe this is a stupid question, but wouldn't it be simpler to list all ship component costs in Mega-Credits rather than credits???
2.4 takes up a lot less space on the page than 2,400,000
AND, just about every component costs megacredits, so there is no loss of information.
Also, when you are spending more than 10 MCr, what is a few thousand credits amongst friends. It is rounding error.
Just wondering...
