So, lets make a trip trough galactic econemy and compare some stuff.

Firstly, lets compare credits not to Dollar, but to Euro instead. Why? Because the Euro is a unified form of money used by countrys of diffrent economical standarts, standartly.
For example, If I, a german, go to Italy and buy a Pizza there, the Pizza will not cost more then in germany. Why? While the Pizza I buy at a tourist-spot is more expensive, it is only so by local standarts. My wage made in germany is more worth in italy, since the local prices are lower by same curency. Everyone who lived in Bavaria would understand. They often invade italy.

So, same curency but diffrent worth of the single unit depending on locale. That is enstablished.

Another thing that we can establish is the on thing most worlds hav in common and that gets not distorted by the need of makeing gear more expansive for steele.
Or to say it diffrent, what can b compared? What backs, if just for the sake of argument, the worth of a credit? Booze does. Alcohol sold at bars is our currently closest comaparison of prices, since from beginning to end, it is sold and its effect is compareable irrelevant of level or place.

The Credit is Mead-based, our economy runs on sex and alcohol. HUZZA!

So, what can we take with us from this?
Firstly, arround 10 Credits is the standart price for a drink in a bar, if you want to neigther go cheep or expensive.
Secondly, I have done my work, you can go on from there. I may want to remind that medical wonders are cheap, but changing a part is cheaper then replacing or creating,and early in ones live is easyer then late.
