Player Features and Ideas Discussion

It's not a shield ship.

Since it's so popular to write up complete proposed stat lists, I thought I'd try it too. Underlined are changes from Rise's original post.



Thoughts?

By the way, you can fit a full rack of lasers into that amount of powergrid if you use Dual Heavy Beam IIs or Dual Heavy Pulse IIs.

Again you miss the point I wouldn't TRY to sell less than that. I don't have to....no reason to try to, NONE. I see the price I want or I'll never have the BPC much less the entire ship. There are plenty of other things that I can make a better margin on.

Get it?

And no you miss the point stop whining.

Excuse me, but I said that if as many players continue to farm the agents as had been pre-patch that that LP might become devalued. When citing my economic genius, please sure to cite correctly, thank you.

Lets try it this way Thaddeus Eggeras, I'll put the power in your hands.

You have 100 LP

I offer you two deals. I will either give you a) 300 isk for every LP or b) 2000 isk for every LP. Which deal will you take?

That is the choice everyone who cashes out LP will be looking at. a) is the BS blueprint, and b) is the sisters probes. Unless a becomes greater than or equal to b, nobody is going to chose a. See?

If a becomes equal to b, then the ship cost will be 2 bil ( or there about). If the ship price dropsanywhere below this, people will start choosing b again because its higher than a.

no the choose is when you can't sell your ship for 2bil or the BP for 1.5bil you can either lower your asking price or enjoy holding onto them. Pick. Again these BPs and ships can be bought for the same as the other pirate ships are, so those people can still low ball you lazy ass high seccers and still make good money haha

Thaddeus is kind of right, but only because there are some very truly monumentally stupid people playing EVE. Just like people who assume the minerals they mine have no ISK value and thus sell ships for below manufacturing cost, there will be people who sell Nestor BPCs at an effective loss compared to more profitable things because they don't understand the concept of ISK-per-LP exchange or are too lazy to bother with it.

What he isn't understanding is that most people who have even a slight understanding of the ISK/LP concept will simply not buy Nestor BPCs at all if something else offers a better ISK return on their LP investment, meaning that if the BPC doesn't sell for at least X amount there won't be any to buy in the first place.

Alvatore DiMarco, ding ding ding! Someone got it. Try to sell a SoE Bs for 2bil, someone will do it for 1.5bil and so on.

At some point though, people are going to see the terrible price that the BPCs are selling for and buy something - anything - else instead. Then the supply will dry up and the price will skyrocket beyond anything anyone is willing to pay for. At that point it will be cheaper to grind your own LP instead. Or the price will stay poor and nobody will buy one to resell and in either case you end up being better off grinding the LP yourself.
