Edit 2: Rise lied :(. https://twitter.com/CCP_Rise/status/542291298661969920

Edit: The Bowhead BPO will be seeded in The Citadel region including high security space so unless you're incredibly lazy there's no need to preorder. I'm going to keep this thread bumped so people don't get scammed by the other preorder thread though.

S̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶f̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶this again (no he didn't make 27b), I'd like to offer a legitimate pre-order service.

First, the details about my offer. Regardless of the interest in this, I will be purchasing at least 5 of these blueprints and will have two or three to sell after building ships for myself. If you too would like a BPO on day one then all you need to do is inform me of your interest either in this thread or by EVE Mail and it's possible I'll pick up spares which you can purchase for NPC price +10%.

If you would like to guarantee one then I'll need a 500m deposit per BPO or you can arrange for a trusted 3rd party at your expense (Chribba, Darknesss or Grendell are acceptable) to hold 2b of your ISK per BPO, then they can purchase them from me for NPC price +10% and give you the BPO plus any leftover ISK. Large orders will require the third party option to be used and arranged for well in advance. If you choose to use a 3rd party I will cap the price at 2b, as long as the BPO is below 2b, just to make it easier for all involved.

If you have any questions, please post them here.

And now what we know about the Bowhead: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5194837

I have in-game fitting window showing around 350k EHP with a DCU II, 2x reinforced bulkheads II, 3x Transverse bulkhead I

This is in the same range as tank-oriented freighters - I'm sure people using the hauler would want as much as possible but this range should be reasonable, yes?


CCP Rise wrote:
Acquisition will work the same as freighters - there will be a NPC seeded BPO (with the same distribution as the Orca), it will be a bit cheaper than a freighter BPO, the Bowhead build materials will also be similar to other Freighters but will be be a bit lower. I would expect eventual market price to be 100 or 200 mil lower than other freighters.

It will use capital rigs.

Alright, added quite a bit of base hp (mostly in shield, some in structure) and changed the max velocity bonus to agility. OP is updated with new numbers.


Could you run the numbers on a bulkhead fit?, I dont have any fitting tools or paper with me.


1 DCU, 2 t2 bulkhead, 3 t1 transverse, 3 t2 invuln is around 420k EHP, is that the numbers you were hoping for?

Imiarr Timshae has offered his services as a third party free of charge and you may use him as well as the others.

I too will be wanting 1 or 2.......Big smile

But why the pre-order service? It's not as if they will only be available in the Outer Ring stations (like the old Covetor BPOs).

It will be off to Citadel market that we shall be going (eve-date shows Orca available at NPC stantions/prices).

Don't soil your panties, you guys made a good point, we'll look at the numbers again. - CCP Ytterbium

Edit: My mistake, it seems they will be seeded in high sec which makes my job a lot easier. This offer is still open of course ;D.

As nothing is actually sold by the OP, this thread gets a lock.

In hindsight, that might have been a slight mistake. My apologies.

Thread un-locked.

Was there a devs statement somewhere where it's mentioned that Bowhead BPO will be sold only in 0.0 for sure, not in, say, Citadel, like Orca, which is ORE BPO as well, or this is pure speculation?

The opposite, they said it'd have the same distribution as Orcas, so highsec availability.

I added that to the top of the OP underlined and bolded before you posted. Also one of CCP Rise's quotes mentions it will be seeded in the same places as the Orca BPO.

It's around prime time, that means a bump to the top is required.

It appears someone at CCP is saying they made a mistake

There are seeding at ORE stations only (ie in Outer Ring)




...I think CCP Rise tweeted it, but no official post about it....
