Okay, about buying shiny with resources... The only thing I found that directly sets prices in both shiny and resources are the starter kits for outposts. I worked it out, but the ratios of resources to shiny came out weird. Basic kit came to 30M resources to 420 shiny, or about 72k resources per shiny. Midrange kit was 125M to 800, or 156k per. Top kit 500M to 1500, or 333k per. So why aren't the ratios the same? And why not be able to buy shiny at a rate of say, 500k resources per shiny, maybe with a cap on how many can be bought that way per day?
