I was wondering, why is there no Shadow Fighter Bomber on the market ? It's not that nobody is selling them, but they aren't even listed on the market.

any ideas or did the devs just miss them

One does not simply list a shadow as a commodity. Unless you're Peter Pan.

Contract only item?

i thoight they changed that a bit ago so that everything could be sold on the market as well, besides, you could buy a titan or super on the marke as well if you would be able to dock it I guess.

Few things like bpo and bpc dropped from anomalies do not appear on market..likely a few others but you are correct in that they are and have made the change over.

Also I feel that shadow fighter bombers are not a hot commodity for their purpose...there really are a handful players or alliances that would fund such an expense, and really just to be able to say they have them. If you're using them in a proper fleet you are not going to need them..and if you are solo/plexing well we know from even just the past week where that gets you....dead and no more shadow fight bombers.

I did not say that I would need them and even if i did, I could just buy them over the contracts, I just happened to notice it.

I dread to think of a world where supers could field bombers which did 100% damage to any sized ship.

I bug reported it on buckingham awhile ago, I was shot back "known issue".

Doesn't matter if its a commonly traded item. Its just keeping the chosen items on market uniform. They added faction and deadspace modules, drones, and ships. Shadow was a faction drone that wasn't added.

No... I've sold lots of Shadow Bombers on the market. Expect to pay about 2 billion per drone. Right now it's just that nobody wants to sell for whatever reason. I've met a few people that gobble them up and hold them speculating that the interest in running incursions will wane, and thus fewer will be on the market. There's a lot of people with Shadows to sell though. You might make an inquiry in the market channels, or check contracts or even hit up incursion runners. They are out there... they ain't cheap but there's plenty available. Give it a few weeks. Someone will list them. Hell, this post alone might encourage someone to put some on the market for you.

It's possible to get a titan or super in a station, but I think the GM who placed it there would probably not be too happy if you sold it on the market.

I've actually petitioned that because I almost purchased a docked Aeon. You are not allowed to have a super or a Titan docked. Period. You can't buy a docked Aeon. You can't sell one. You can't have one. Are they out there? You bet your a55. But for 20+ bil are you willing to take the chance that the GMs will find out? I sure as hell am not.

Obviously if it's docked a GM placed it there. Which I just said. So don't be ridiculous.

It's not that nobody is selling them, i don't care about that, it's that they are not listed as an item on the market, same for the bpc btw. For example, I can see the Mantis even if there is nobody selling them, it then just says "none available". But there are just no Shadows or Shadow BPCs listed as lets call it options.
