sorry about this but I am thinking and posting at the same time

in the Voyager Direct store in SC the price of a tractor beam is

10,000 UEC in privateer it was 7,500 credits

so a 25% increase

the most expensive item (excluding ships) in privateer was 350k
so with a huge leap of faith lets say the most expensive item in
SC will be 437k UEC

UEC's can be bought at the rate of 1$ per 1000 UEC
but is limited to 25,000 UEC per day and a max balance of 150,000 UEC at any time

I am assuming that the 150,000 UEC is not the actual cap on how many UEC you can have a but a cap on when you can buy UEC

so to get the 437k UEC item that I invented you could buy 150k UEC but to get the rest you will need to play the game trade bounty ect.
