I think enhanced armor prices are balanced pretty well. It depends on what enhancements are used on what armor that determines the price. If I'm going to pay $5000x4 for certain enhancements for my armor, you're dern'd straight I want a decent price if I decide to sell my armor later on.

As for looted armor, it can be easy money to an extent eary-mid game, if you know how to manipulate your selling. But come into the Rin section of the game (by then, credits should be abundant), armor is non-existant when it comes to selling them. No stores will pay Rin for player-useable armor so unless there's better armor in loot than what you already have installed, it's senseless to even loot it.
I suggest that they should be destroyed and not possible to loot from wrecks.
I personally have to dissagree with this. Doing so would take a lot of fun and enjoyment away from playing the game. The majority of armor I use comes from loot.
Perhaps if we lowered the amount of survived armor in wrecks would be better?

I'd say lower the armor retrieved from only polars and the sung slave transports... They are the only ones that generate stupidly huge amounts of armor in proportion to difficulty (including escorts)- everything else seems pretty balanced

you are forgetting Wolfy armor stations have both lots of armor and lots of enhancers. They are basically free money when you meet them.

what about them? You mean selling the armor to them? just reduce the money they have... I doubt you mean killing them, since an early game player ship should almost never be able to kill the corp cruiser...

they are free money: buy the armor (or loot good armor), buy enhancers, use enhancers on armor layers you want to sell, sell and make lots of money.

really? hmm... odd... price adjustment is needed, but don't remove armor from wrecks...

I make more money selling weapons than anything else in the game. Especially mil-grade weapons lvl 6 on up. Buy all lvl 6 from CW forts, sell to BMs. Lvl 7 on up, sell to Teratons.
