Sell Orders

start you of with 4 yrs profit, 4 million isk offer

Thanks to the posters for their contributions and bumps, I believe these pilots know what they speak about, monitoring closely the T2 bpo auctions in the sell orders forums.

I agree that the profit margin is low today. But profit margins may vary in a near future for many reasons : ship overhaul, ship redesign, T1 and faction ships prices... I believe that there is a strong possibility that the Cerberus gets some love in the incoming year, hence the price I ask for.

I've bought tens of T2 ship bpos for years and allways paid a good price for them, because I believed they'll get an overhaul one day or another : 4 examples :


I bought 2 impel bpos at buyout despite profit was very thin atm, but they got an overhaul (+2 warp strenght) and today the game itself is asking for deep space transports : low-sec PI, WH.

The same way I bought 2 prorator bpos for a price which was expansive when looking at the profit per year, after what they were boosted, being able to fit covert cloaks. since, they are in great demand, I don't even see them twice in my sell orders just because they sell so fast.

The same way Deimos had an awfull reputation : "die most", "sucking blaster boat" and low profit margin ofc . A blaster buff and gallente ship buff later, Deimos sell like pancakes

And about the Oneiros, I bought my 3rd bpo while gallente logistic were in overproduction since years, the demand was low and they were hard to sell. Due to many changes to the game mechanics (PvP, incursions) and a ship buff they sell nicely today, at higher prices than Basilisks...

And I remember when the sacrilege been redesigned, how the sales skyrocketed for weeks when Sacrilege were so had to sell before...



This sale is an opportunity for who looks more far than an immediate profit margin. There is no risk : T2 bpos never lost value and this forum dictates their prices month after month.

40b each

Yes I remember when it occcured. T2 ammo and ships are subject to minor changes and tweaks which can make them sexier in a wink.
For T2 modules it almost never happens, thus the annual profit is a good tool to determine the value of module blueprints

For T2 ship blueprint I never look at the annual profit, I just wonder if there is a possibility for an evolution of gameplay make it more attractive or downright popular. In fact, very few ships have not been improved by CCP in recent years.

Cerberus are heavily concurrenced by Tengus. One might speculate that one day, after an overhaul, Cerberus become a kind of super manticore... Heavy Assault Bomber, it would sound good

Well I'm not willing to be overspeculative, but in a recent devblog, CCP Ytterbium stated that Tech 2 ships would tend to be more specialized in opposition to Tech 3, more flexible :

and about a futur overhaul :



In line with that, considering the concurrence of Tengus, one can say that Cerberus have suboptimal use.

Hemmo Paskiainen sees an analogy in roles where there is an homology in ship designs only : Into the PvP field Vagas and Cerberus have nothing in common, one is fast and heavy tackler, the other has at most an auxiliary role... Cerbs are most used for PvE, Vagas not. (Hemmo sunglasses must be dirty, he confuses hulls )

So I do not think that through a future specialization, the fates of all are linked... Cerbs will most likely receive an overhaul and a new role, Vagas, I would not bet on it...

I am not doubting that it actually is possibe that Cerberus might recieve a buff in the future (like any ship that is not OP atm) but IF you would honestly believe that, you wouldnt sell them now :p


also its hemmo, what do you expect vOv

Bpos not sold

No worries, time will come you will find it was cheap deal.
