That, this cruiser if frikkin awesome, but if im going to pay that, i'd rather get a proteus, so should i expect to get in price ranges like the ashimmu or the phantasm?

Because tities .

It depends entirely on the whims of the market place.

If you can figure it out beforehand, you'll be a rich capsuleer.

Give it some time. All new and shiny things get premium price. Once all the rich peeps have their new toy, us scrubs can get one too.

When people learn to fly them instead of losing them, you will see prices drop.

Looks like it's dropping pretty hard, at least 25% since launch day. it's only been around a month, after all.

You could go hunt the NPC that drops the BPC and then make one yourself you know.

Why is your choice between a proteus and an orthrus? I just don't get it, they are somewhat differant in how they operate. One, a dedicated kiter the other a tanked up blap boat with a long point. In fact the only similarity is the point range bonuses.

orthrus is about 600mil right now.

with faction point and prop, about 800-900mil. not extremely expensive anymore.

You know what?

It wasn't that long ago that the idea of getting a 900M ship was a dream for most people. Hell. I remember the days when you'd be hit with convo requests if you undocked in a 100M ship.

And now it's nothing.

No real point. Just being maudlin.

Isn't it great when people say "I've been playing for 2 weeks, only made 3b so far so I'm not rich"?

yes, on the forums I too can guffaw at a piddling 1 bil for a cruiser. However, in game, most people are not going to undock in a bil ship because they can't afford it.

It is the laws of supply and demand.

CCP has created a ship that is vastly over-powered when compared to anything else in it's class, was warned about it, and did nothing. The supply demand curves intersect at a very high price because PvP'ers recognize this.

Not much will change unless the ship is nerfed, because the supply is not going to alter much going forward.

If by great you mean revolting. And I bet that same person still won't be willing to risk a 1m Rifter to pvp.
