A standard Blue Pill booster makes it possible to tank 1,400 dps in a Maelstrom.
You have a 20percent chance to get a SMALL penalty to optimal.

Im not saying pop them every engagement but i can think of plenty of times i would swap out a little penalty for such a MASSIVE boost.

Many players collect the fines for moving forbidden combat boosters through high sec. Often if you are a consumer, you might forget, you have 1 in the cargo. Only Capitals and Supers have not this problem. I sell my combat boosters only in Low Sec.

The side effects are bad.

For example the blue pills have not just 1 possible bad side effect. There are 3 severe side effects. One of them usually happens, sometimes none, sometimes more than 1. You can also get a chance of become unstabe cap, if you have less cap buffer than the malus is. If you cap dead all the bonus on shield boosting is not much worth. Or you can lose shield buffer. If you have not enough buffer and too much damage gets through between shield boost cycles too fast, the nice bonus is also worthless. The turret range malus can mess up your optimal. Most of time it is better to bait in a shield buffer tank and rep with eccm supported Shield transfer than use a Maelstrom.

You can make here as much ad as you want. Combat boosters are often not worth the money. Especially not for all the players. who blob anyways. Combat boosters are a nische product and badly broken.

Perhaps if you could make a post that i could make sense of i could reply more appropriately seeing as this drivel means nothing ill do my best.

YOU CAN GET AROUND CUSTOMS WITH A CLOAK>god damn im gettin bored of saying this.

The pro's of combat boosters in terms of use FAR outweigh the negatives.ASK ANY SERIOUS PVPer.

''Combat boosters are often not worth the money. Especially not for all the players. who blob anyways. Combat boosters are a nische product and badly broken.''

A pill that costs 5mil can double a boats effectiveness in PVP how does this may it non worthwhile?

Did you even read the blog post?

Please man educate yourself before putting hand to keyboard next time mmmk?

Confirming the end of an era, not only in the drug manufacturing business but my best friend is moving to the other side of the world. Sad

Not only did beta single handidly conquere the drug industry within a matter of months but everything stated was figured out via his own initiative and cunning in a game where every card is played close to the chest.
I can only hope the eve community can appreciate the op in this thread as the information stated is priceless and the spreadsheet could of easily been sold like many others that are currently on auction sites.

To the nay sayers I laugh at you and your diminishing drug profits, there is no need to be so butt hurt, this kind of information is nothing but good for the general player base and new players who are plain dumbfounded by drug manufacturing and smuggling.
Although i can understand why people do not want to share there profits i can only think If more infinitely valuable information such as this was shared more frequently the player base grow instead of being quashed by the "bastard elite" who often seem to think that is the ultimate end game.

Not wanting to hi-jack your thread with goodbye tears but I'm going to anyway because I'm feeling emo as **** after our conversation earlier.
I've had a blast playing with you bro and I look forward to having to alternate early mornings so we can carry on our gaming legacy together.
You have been a great friend both in and out of games for the passed 12 years and will be irreplaceable, even though now I have to find a different source of income in eve due to this clearly undervalued thread and your absence (hopefully as brief as possible) from holding my hand through this awesome game.
If I don't catch you on Skype before you leave have a safe journey and enjoy your new life in the sun and waves. (bastardo I'm so jelly) Oops

I love you broseph! Xxx
P.s. not gay if balls don't touch. ( Roll

non subtle private joke)
P.p.s. make sure you get a decent sofa, a spare board and a big bag of green boosters for when I visit.

So we've got some idiot trying to sell either

- goods from a failed attempt that locked some capital
- a sinking ship of a business that was once profitable but atm keeps capital locked in assets (already started with BPs)
- a lot of stinking gas

This by using a sheet that is wrong in several places and doesn't take into account important stuff such as COSTS. This by using the sole argument of "INSANE ROI" and an army of alts. This by promising a laughable profit of ~14 b / 6 months which is lower even than ratting/missioning/mining(?). Dude, that's ~80 mil/day, that's lower than T1 manufacturing or L4s. Not to mention the logistical hassle or risks. Ever heard of opportunity cost or all you ever heard was ROI?

The selling method is similar to "send me ISK, I'll double it", promising great riches for free. Breaking news: there are no good samaritans in EVE. Go shove your pathetic "business model" up your ass, it's not even a good/funny attempt at market manipulation.

Customs insta scan you. Dosnt matter how long you stay at a gate if you do it right you dont have to cloak and you wont get fined
