the demand of ships is very price elastic(economics term)
when DSI cost 750 nobody used it
it got pushed down to 280 and now it is all that gets used
when Comb was 250 everybody used it
now it's 1.5k and i only know 2 people who use it now (Respect and ..yap..)

making the price of a ship based on how many players want the ship is an very bad idea
if player still use a ship affer it is moved up eventualy it will cost too many points to get for fun

it's unclear why the price elasticity of different ships would be different, so price elasticity shouldn't make or break the system
if this system was implemented then, in theory, each ship at a given price would be equally likely to be chosen, meaning that a players' choice of ship would be based on aesthetics and playstyle, not notions of which ship is OP (unless a player can cleverly exploit an undervalued ship, which is probably good for the game).

Comb is still good. It could use a buff, but people will still use it
