well.. i think it's a case of there's no unobtanium... it just appeared out of thin air and the ships bought them at extra high prices to sell at low price .. or at least that's what happened to me
Yeah, might just make things so that your ships don't waste their journey. They did go with 50k Quatloos and since it was a new planet I doubt they could have bought enough stuff to use all their cash.
mind you, i've seen planets making antimatter where there's no synth either...
You don't need a Synth for anti-matter, only for Krell Metal and Unobtanium. Anti-matter just comes in very slowly once you reach a certain society level.
