The Price is Right - Tanks vs Aircraft

[HereticusXZ]

I think this problem probably rests with the inherit flaws in the current Resource system but should the Resource cost of Tanks and Aircraft be so different?

The Empire Specific...
ESF - 250
MBT - 450

The Common Pool...
Galaxy - 350
Liberator - 350

Sunderer - 400
Lightning - 300
Harasser - 300
Flash - 100

More or less my gripe is the difference between MBT and ESF. It's reasonable I would imagine that the Faction Specific vehicles should be the most expensive with how incredibly dangerous they can be in there variety, but why is a ESF so dirt cheap?

It just became curious to me when I was out Prowler sniping near Zurvan Amp Station, I was getting lucky and kept killing the same Scythe over and over again within a hour when typically a ESF has every advantage over a MBT because the tanks turret can't angle high enough to hit a ESF, Aircraft can just hover all day and have free reign against the MBT' engine block. Between Acquisition timer and cheap resources a Pilot can spam there ESF' where a Tanker cannot.

Of course you need to also take into account how long a vehicle can survive between fights, The Empire's Territory Resource supply, Acquisition Timers, Boosts, and Subscription bonuses

This became a little concerning to me when you think about the Ace pilots and Tankers out there.

TL/DR - Why are MBT' and ESF resource prices so different when they both face and share equal lethality and equal threats and are the prices right for the common pool vehicles?
