Sale Value of Starting Base
The overwhelming majority of assets in the Starting Base have no resale value. You will yield only $260,278 for selling everything, apart from the weapons currently that are initially loaded in the Interceptors. In fact, for reasons below, you need to hold on to the spare launchers (sale value $24,750), so this only yields $235,528.
Selling all the craft weapons is normally impossible as craft weapons can only be swapped out for another weapon, a craft hardpoint can't be disarmed. By retaining all the launchers, replacing all the hardpoints with all 4 initial launchers, it's possible to sell all the missiles, cannon, and cannon ammo. This raises an additional 2 x 22,500 + 8 x 1,012 + 12 x 2,400 = $81,896 for a total $317,424.
If you use Seb76's loader, there is an option to disarm aircraft hardpoints. This would allow you to also sell the 4 missile launchers for a further $48,700, raising the total to the maximum of $366,124.
