We’ve all experienced this, you’re in the heat of battle! 20 sentinels are attacking you, you defeat them but a piece of technology in your suit broke. Of course the first thing you would like to do is repair it with readily available materials…. WRONG! The technology, like 90% of the technologies require the un-craftable, dreaded ”wiring loom”. You need to return to a space station and buy them for the hundredth time. Of course, they’re one of the most expensive items in the terminal… and the terminals are the ONLY way to get them.
Why can’t we craft them? Obviously they’re most likely trade-marked by some gigantic space company that refuses to share the blueprints, therefore artificially inflating the products price and its demand. One real life example of this is coca-cola, their recipe is heavily guarded and any competitor that tries to replicate it is slightly off, making the coca-cola a one in a million product, sky-rocketing the demand. Wiring looms are extremely expensive due to this, we can’t make them ourselves. Whoever is behind making them KNOWS this and artificially increases the price, way over the manufacturing cost.
