In the bazaar the raptor cost me 700 credits and 24 durantium is that correct?

The extra durantium is for the special variant of the Kinetic weapon used to get the high damage and is in-line with what you'd pay if you had researched that variant and added to your own ship.  I think that kinetic variant costs 12 durantium each.

The advantage for the merc is that you don't have to wait on the research to get a ship so equipped.

8 kinetic damage from a single ship is pretty massive early in the game

I think it is totally ridiculous to include a merc that costs 24 durantium. Regardless of it's power, I would like to see a stat on how often it is purchased.
