Some ships would be lost. Prices would rise and that would be a good additional ISK sink for CCP..


how on earth is selling ships an isk sink other then the really small fee for setting up an order? So yeah not so much of an isk sink really.


Perhaps because they cost 3T per year? For you may be it is a small fee, but it still is. Big smile

yes for all the market fees of all characters combined. the tiny amount your proposal would add is tiny and for all intents and purposes zero.

I am not talking about market fees. If a tournament ship is bought for spinning only with no goal to resell it, it is a ISK sink by nature not by definition some has made. Such ISK is pretty much taken out of game. Largest collectioners have no intention to sell their tournament ships, for example I have never seen Entity selling a tournament ship, but have seen him buying new ships.

The Silver Magnate and Guardian Vexor need some serious love though! ;p



Never flown Silver Magnate but Guardian Vexor is really bad, however you get a good mining yeld out of it with mining drones and mining lasers.

No it isnt an isk sink, since the isk goes to the one who sold the ship. if you are proposing that CCP sell ships, well we all know what happened with the watch scorpion idea now dont we.
