Credits are denoted with a comma (e.g. 534,523) but the price tags on the ship for sale are not (e.g. 18466 credits), making it harder to tell how much something costs at a glance. It would be great if their prices were separated by the comma as well.

I am glad to help. Thank you for making it and your and others continuous work done towards this game. It really is a dream game. I remember thinking of how much I wanted a game like this when playing FTL: Faster Than Light.

I would like to suggest that the separator for numbers should not be commas, (or full stop) but to use a space instead, as is used internationally to prevent confusion.

Example: 534 523 or 18 466

Should really be based upon language/locale selection.

Though as the game is only in English atm, comma convention seems reasonable.

I don't really mind as I am from the UK where commas are used, but as long as there is no language/locale selection, I don't see a reason to not use the space separator at all. For clarity reasons, it is superior, and it saves effort if there is to be different language/locale.

Not really related, but it's a small issue..

The credit count on the main view can also overflow when you get beyond tens or hundreds of millions. I would suggest making a switch over like 9,999,999 -> 10,000K.
