They're mainly used for PVE so it'll take a while for the current stock to deplete to the point here they're 500 Mil ISK each.

It's a REALLY long term investment where EVE might die before a decent return is made...


I've bought 100 of them for 8mil each I think when they got out.. That seems a reasonable profit already for me..

Even if you did manage to get all 100 that low, you'd likely have made more station trading the same amount of isk. Most people that bought into Geckos have made very little compared to what they could have made from having that extra liquidity. They are only a decent investment if you've got isk that would be sitting idle anyway, and even then they are fairly risky as CCP could release more at any time.

Will other factions have their own drone?


Wouldn't make any sense as no other pirate faction has bonus to drones.

Yep. Seems very, very likely we'll see some other type of superheavy drone in future. Different speed/defence/damage/tracking/whatever.

Unlikely, imo, unless they actually introduce them as a new proper class of drone.

Regularly releasing "special" drones that literally obsolete every other heavy drone in the game would be ******* stupid.
