so as a nub trader, i was doing my research, i found that mach has dropped over the last 6 months from 1.2 bill ship into 750 mill , trying to understand the reason, its clearly due to the heavy deployment of all alliances in null to curse in the last 6 months to fight n3 which lead to the famous b-r fight... consequently, a lot of players where grinding missions and doing ded sites in their empty time between fleets, flooding the market with a lot of machariel BPC

now i made a roam in curse few days back, it is a ghost region even less than before since the old missioners in curse have abondoned their location due to high traffic

the question, will this drive mach prices to go back to 1 bill + in the coming 2 months? or my analysis is wrong, and why?

To my knowledge, the Mach was rumored to get a mayor nerf for the longest time now, replacing it as the Number 1 mission runner. The rise of the Marauder as a combined mission running/looting platform didn´t help either.

Now from what I gathered from the latest Dev notes concerning rebalancing Pirate ships, the supposed Mach nerf might not be as mayor as predicted. Then again, CCP seems to have the unfortunate tendency to nerf über-ships into oblivion (and vice versa).
Will that mean the price will rise back to 1,2 Bil or higher? It will rise again, but not that much. Around 1 Bil at best would be my guess. Ultimately, it will depend on the final changes and that is still some time away.

ya i agree that mach has a guaranteed 200 mill climb in the coming month due to cfc and all null sec alliances moving out of curse now.... but next time try to keep it low , such info worth gold for some :)

I feel like the impact of marauders is a blessing for the mach; it will be spared the uber nerf to oblivion. The TE nerf hit it pretty hard too. However they'll also be considering its PVP performance quite a bit, as the mach is one of the most popular pirate bs's for pvp, and it occupies a totally different niche than marauders.

Never forget.
