The main problem is that everyone thinks that MONEY is the only resource. Thats not it at all. The main problem with economy is that money is literally everything, but what about the navies that don't HAVE to contend with money (Prometheus has MASSIVE mining operations in both the planet and the moon, and no one really trades with them for money, so they can have like, one buck and STILL be able to make ships like Undertaker and Armageddon). Money is basically a piece of paper with a famous person on it.

So why should we even bother? They don't have civilian infrastructure, they build them using materials. There is LITERALLY no cost even considered. Even when it comes to energy supplies, navies like UAC and Prometheus barely even care about money (Prometheus doesn't pay their mind-controlled soldiers and "others" paychecks, you know)
