Oof.

How much should it cost to hit the ground running?

No idea. I steer clear of the game out of self-preservation. I did read dozens of novels though, a lot of them twice, so the time investment is there.

Sounds like how most of the fun I have with Eve is in my head while not playing it.

I'm flying basically not at all because my steam deck will crash.

A quick search looks like between $100-$200 for most starter sets. Custodes are kinda expensive, as are most of the named heroes.

I don't actually play, but I talk to the WH40K guys at my local hobby shop. I think the most expensive army I've encountered ran in the neighborhood of $1500. Apparently some single models can get upwards of $800+

While I can afford that, I can probably save some money by buying a 3d printer and finding a pretty girl who likes to paint for favors.
