SOB told me once that he sells his Lobi as fast as possible and get ships from it, if I remember me correctly.
I have a lot of Lobi that would rot so I am goingto buy the ship with it.

Whew! Man, I would have to quit the game if one could literally sell the Lobi and I had not known about it for years.

Yeah you cannot sell Lobi, but you can sell most of the goodies it buys.
In fact the Lobi ships are one of the few constant items in the game because they always have a fairly constant real world cost (in terms of how many keys worth of Lobi crystals are needed to get one.
Everything else is RNG based and so wildly fluctuates.

Side note: wasn't it SoB … or maybe Parallel Gaming … that did the math on the EC cost of Lobi? IIRC, selling ships was a very poor use of Lobi.
I gotta find that vid ...

Oh not that...I mean a specialization specialization....probably worded it wrong but I mean when it had a commander this or commander that and it has special abilities. I mean the special ship mechanics like the carrier has the Innovation Ship Mechanic.
