EVE General Discussion

I don't think I ever recall t2 ships like hacs/recons under 100m or command ships under 150.

As for the t1 ships, many got their build costs increased when they were buffed as a part of tiericide.

That's not how it works, mate.

As has already been stated, mineral prices dictate ship prices, just like in the real world.
There's a markup, because the manufacturing toons need to make money, too.
Then there's a further markup for selling outside trade hubs. The prices go up when you dip into lowsec.

This is just how a real economy works. EVE has the closest thing to a real economy in any game. Prices aren't arbitrary.
The death of "drone poo" alloys was a factor. Now the upcoming refining restrictions will raise prices a little, again. So prepare for it to get worse.

If you can't handle it, I'll gladly take your assets and ISK, while you unsub.
As much as I would like to be given a bunch of free stuff, though, I encourage you to stay.

Wait till you see the PLEX prices.

This and they increased mineral requirements on a a lot of big ships. Not sure about the curse, I'd have to price the t2 components but wars have been fought, wars have been lost and moons have been nerfed also. Its possible the nerfs increased plex sales so that income to ccp was increased indirectly also. 1000 dollar jeans and stuff ya know.

There a loot refine nerf coming also, should fuel another bump up. This may put a profit margin in t1 industry though since stuff on the market buy prices will drop to reflect new refine potentials. Some of that isk might go to new indy guys instead of ccp though high plex prices are always good for CCP's backpocket.

I can...

I also remember Mega being well u der 100 mil.

wars in nullsec happen every 3-8 months. The rest is spent farming and building up isk. Mining is boring and theres no other way to get minerals.

This by a long shot.

stuff has been to cheap for years anyway, lets go back to having to work 2 weeks for a battleship hehe

Prices have probably finally aligned to take into account the Additional Materials section that was added a while back

They put PI into a lot of stuff too. They did it wrong it looks, the imbalances are getting worse instead of correcting like the market demand would indicate. If I didn't know better, I'd think they intended to buff t1 industry for the new guys, PI's low skilled too, and now the refine nerf I'm looking at as a noob buff too.

Now they either screwed up on the balancing, or all the imbalances indicate potential profit somewhere.
