With the recent buff to marauders pirate faction ships have been dropping price through the floor - also that and the rumors of spposed nurfs coming around. Machariel has dropped from 1.3bil to 600mil within the past six - eight months, Vindicator has moved from 1.5bil to 980mil recently as well.

Other pirate factions are suffering worse, rattlesnake for 400mil, gila for 140mil, nightmare for 500. . ..

For those of us who choose to never be allowed into highsec again - and run pirate missions, having only 3 ship choices to purchase from seems a little lacking - that, and why can I not buy domination modules from Archangels?

Shadow Serpentis modules are not sold on Serpentis LP store?

I think going through the nullsec market and adding these mods would give those of us that mission run a good bit more options -

Oh! And while we're at it, can we get a Domination Ancillery shield boosters and shadow serpentis ancillery armor reps? :D!

+1 for more pirate ships.

-1 for pirate gouging prices. I love my 600 mil nightmare. I was so excited when it dropped below 700 mil that I bought one and realized I've never flown a laser ship before...

Came expecting a discussion about balancing pirate faction ships. Was disappointed.

Prices are going to do what they want. Players control that, as they should.

Adding more faction mods to the market is not such a bad idea, but keep in mind that the ASB was recently nerfed because it was way too good according to CCP, and I fully agree with them.

I want to see logi appear on killmails! (by just repping)  See CSM "reasonable things"

I'd generally love to see pirate space turn into more like high sec if it was run by pirates in terms of functionality.

AKA, people with high security status have a bounty on them, there are stores just in high sec, but the ore's better, there are no laws and you get rewarded for killing things that the pirates hate (aka do-gooders).

Despite what you may have heard there's only one rule of EVE:

Never stop learning and realise there's always a lot more to be learned. To this end, seek wisdom in everything.

What?? Pirate BSs are this cheap? Might have to stock up prior to their adjustments.

I'm not really worried about the prices going through the floor, I'd like more things to spend the LP on though.

And I know ASB's were nurfed because they were overpowered, so I think faction ASB mods would be quite pricey and sell for a good bit.

For example.

Tech1 - holds 9
Faction - holds 10
Officer Mizuro - 11
Officer gotan - 12
Officer Tobias - 13

I think that while - the faction and the officer ones would seem 'overpowered', the price for them would certainly warrent their overpowered'ness.

Marauders are only awesome if you don't have to move or are working solo. Any type of group play benefits from a pirate battleship.

well, i do not agree, my pve machariel suits me better than a vargur, even after the change, for mission and sig / anoms running.

it clean those crazy fast compared to any marauder, and when it comes we chain those as a two or three man fleet, 2 machariels can't be beaten isk/tick wise.

as for pvp, so far it's up to each, you don't play the same way a marauder and a vindi or a mach, very different playstile
