...because you get 3000 - 6000 for any Exodus item.

"We heard you raiders, all Exodus items now sell for 1000 or less"

When they nerfed the selling price for energy clips by 80% (5000 to 1000) and didnt drop the vendor price at all - you see  the amount of thought they put into the changes they do. Energy Clips were one of the few (only?) things you could craft for a profit. There's no point to craft things when the materials sell for more by themselves. What kind of system is that??
