Market Discussions

Can someone explain to me why pirate implant pricetags are so over the place?

Some low-grade implants costs more than an epsilon mig-grade or a high-grade costs less than a low-grade.

Is it unclear to you that all pirate implants cost the same and some even drop for free?

Wow that almost explains it.

Someone else maybe?

Supply and demand.

Oddly enough, low-grade implants drop in Lowsec (instead of Highsec). And both, Highsec and Nullsec are farmed waaaaay more, than Lowsec. So i would guess, there are a lot more mid and high-grade implants available on the market.

So, in your first post, high-grades were too cheap and now they are too expensive?
The supply is NOT infinite. Somebody has to run missions in Null to get the LP.
And the ratio is around 2.500 ISK/LP, so quite normal.

If it's still too expensive for you, feel free to do those missions yourself.


Cost and Cybernetics V.

As said before, supply and demand is pretty much the long and short of it.

The prices on the market just reflect the cost in the LP store.
For example:
Mid-Garde Slave Epsilon 45.000LP + 45mil ISK
High-Grade Slave Beta 31.500LP + 31,5mil ISK


But in general...

... i have no clue, what you are trying to say.

So i'll just stick with "supply and demand".

You should quit advertising your corporation until you're done being a complete ******* idiot.

I doubt that, Omegas and Epsilons have always been the most expensive parts of the sets. Definitely not since Mid-Grade implants have existed, or rather when Low-Grades were renamed Mid-Grades and even weaker implants were introduced with the Low-Grade name. I don't think the current Low-Grade implants are even available in pirate LP stores.

If you're stumping up for a set of Snakes or Slaves or any other implant set, you want that Omega. It's not really optional, imho. Pirate implant sets doesn't really work all that well until the Omega is plugged in.

Some implants are pretty much just flat out not available. Look at the Mid Grade Centurion set. Three of the implants are available on the market, three basically don't ever appear on the market. The reasons are many and varied, but the bottom line is: people generally won't spend LP (especially Pirate Faction LP) on something they either can't sell easily or don't need themselves.

Snakes, Crystals and Slaves are fairly widely used by a lot of different pilots in a lot of different situations. Some of the more esoteric implant sets have very niche uses, but they are very powerful when properly used to fulfill that niche. Virtues (probe scanning power) and Halos (signature radius reduction) come to mind.

Halos, for example, are 100% pure AwesomeSauce when flying a Frigate, especially one fitted with an Afterburner, and 100% pure NewbSauce if you're in a Battleship.

Snakes, on the other hand, are pretty sweet regardless what ship you're in.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. If you're whining that you can't wardec me, don't worry, I'll be in a player-run corp again soon enough. Taking a break to teach my little brother how he can plex his account with ISK before I trudge back into the line of fire.
