Uhmm.. where do these drop. I am getting conflicting reports on this between only ORE LP (horrid) and Empire Mining Op Hauler Cans...

Nearly choked to death laughing when I saw the drones selling for over a billion ISK in Jita.

Tbf, this is the cost using a ME0 BPC

So due to the Elite Drone AI spike, a certain Lvl4 mission just became really nice in terms of ISK (Or did they finally change that one?)

It is all a matter of 'Expense vs Income' for us. If I am using 5 mining drones at a combined cost of 5B+, but I pull 3B+ a day mining with them, is it worth it? I do not know about others, but for me the answer is yes.

One just has to figure out if they can do that amount or something similar, that allows that kind of 'Expense vs Income' ratio.

I think of it more like un-docking from Jita 4-4 with PLEX in your cargo.

Why do people still take expensive bpc's into Jita, perimeter trade hub is better especially when you can see Jita prices and compare, if I can I don't by expensive things in Jita.

I do it out of spite. I don't like the organizations / politics / motives behind those Fortizars, so much so that I have no problem paying higher fees.

Also, a friend recently discovered he was locked-out of his assets when the market service was off-lined. Since I have no experience there, I'm guessing the asset safety system isn't usable in that situation(?).
