Please excuse me if I've posted this in the wrong place, I wasn't sure if I should've put it here or in ships and mods!

Alright, so probably 2 months ago I buy a tengu in Jita and fit it out. Fun stuff. Probably cost me about 700m, with 500m going towards the tengu and subsystems. After playing with it for a bit, life got in the way and I stopped playing intensively for those 2 months, and I just came back to Eve a few days ago.

However, now I want to move on to a rattlesnake, so I've figured I'll sell my tengu.

Problem is, I did the math, and selling everything (modules, subsystems, hull) on my tengu comes to only 400m ISK.


So please, someone help me understand, what the hell happened? Is it my fault or just bad luck/timing? Will it get better? Is there anything I can do about it? Or am I just a dumbass who made some simple, avoidable mistake? All help will be appreciated.

I was considering values slightly lower than other sell orders, in order to have people buy my stuff first :3

Sell orders would be even less than the 400m I calculated, I'll do the maths real quickly.

EDIT: It'd be roughly 350m to sell everything to buy orders.

Just what I was afraid of... So should I just sell now? Or hold on and see if it gets better?

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe the value could go back up when people start buying tengus for their HAMability.

Thanks for your input and advice,

Love,

Its getting nerfed , but i think people are overeacting .

It can get better but dont count on old prices coming back ...

To be clear, heavy missiles are getting "rebalanced" in the December patch, not the hull itself. The hull will likely be "rebalanced" as well in due time.

If you are interested in learning about what changes are taking place specifically there is a thread about it somewhere with the official numbers (and lots of tears ).

Ultimately, if you are just talking about one hull I wouldn't worry about timing; just sell it and go get your rattlesnake.

Not sure if I'd say it is the demand that is lowering the value, as the amount sold daily has remained fairly consistent over the last 6 months, but it is most likely the supply. People realized that you could sell each tengu for 40m-50m profit and you could sell hundreds a week easily. That isn't to say the margins are poor, they just aren't what they used to be.

if you did missions in the tengu, that tengu has made you some isk aswell, try make an estimated value on that income and add it to the loss - in this way your loss wont be that much.

So if you paid 700mill for the tengu and lets say it has earned you 300mill. You sell it for 500mill you will still have earned 100mill. I know its better to get a + on the hull and subs itself, but in this manner you wont feel that great a loss.

or do some more missions in it and get the earnings up.

Btw i tried a HAM tengu pre-patch and it was horrible, 24km range(individuals might get more range) versus a 118km on HML. On tengu range will still be sufficient, maybe 80km or so, dont know about the dmg though.

See, it wasn't a Tengu nerf. it was a faction pirate buff because we know they needed one. Jeez, none of the pirate faction ships are any good.
