Market Discussions

I see a lot of offline towers in your future?

Fair comment.

Ok, here's a prediction.

T1 ships (all races ) from dest - BC will rise sharply in price as a side effect of whats coming.

Still pretty vague i know, but thats as much as im willing to share right now until i've stockpiled enough of the items i know are going to be effected without spooking the market.

Well that's fair enough :o)

Would sound a note of caution that T1 production is, across the universe, by virtue of strong competition, tied very closely to mineral prices and spikes in demand of a given T1 ship tend to be met by increased production very quickly. That's assuming I've got what you're talking about right however, which is thrown somewhat by your cutoff of "to BC".

If your prediction were strengthening, or continued strength, in the mineral basket as a whole that would affect all T1, not just cutting off at BC - something, incidentally, I'm minded to agree with; btw, in light of the mineral basket there are some increasingly cheap looking freighters on the market right now you cheap scrotes (end plug).

Edit: hmmm - wondering out loud if we're talking about something beginning with "h" and ending in "geddon". Last I heard that was early next year but I only pay my spies minimum wage. If that is the thinking then if I recall correctly, last one didn't really have much of a noticeable effect on catalyst prices, but I pay my librarians minimum wage too.

Hmmm....aren't the goons in the process of switching to a Maelstrom-centric fleet?

My spies message me via pony express. Actually, I skimmed Jester's Trek rather than reading it. Woops.

Anlt self proclaimed prophet(speculator)

Isn't Hulkageddon scheduled to start in the near future?
Some Drone anos also got nerfed but i doubt thats enough for a massive spike.

my .01 cents:

So the goons have ALLOT of these new t3 battlecruiser BPO's and they need to get rid of ships at a discount?


The reality of the matter is, what the goons are planning is rather straight forward, Hike up the mineral prices 2-4 times what they are and then make t3 battle cruisers for sale at inflated prices (keep in mind the minerals they want to buy out will be at current prices and the ships they sell will be based off of NEW mineral prices)

If the goons are not planning ^ that then sorry, I will lose even more respect after your fail ice-capade, we all know it was fail, and if your still at it.. its gonna fail.

thats not all, if they want their plan to succeed, they will need to hit Gallante space and parts of Amarr space to chase away people from running missions and into mining/PVP where they should fall right into the hands of the waiting goon squads (to the tune of Hulkageddon) fool people into ganking every one (losing their own ships in the process)

The problem will be further aggravated by the fact, that the Russians got their.. lets call it.. "Automated" featured nerfed to the point of no return I.E. No more 4-8 mill every 15 min of minerals! in Drone space!, if you don't quite understand what that means, let me translate that into English, 11-15% price increase on ALL things manufactured within 1 year, IF NOTHING CHANGES and there is NO market intervention of any sort.

The goons will hit eve from multiple directions, focusing, first one the ones that yield the best results.


If your not in an alliance holding super cap fleets able to engage goon super cap fleets, you best get into a battleship, SEVERELY over tank it and go mining or whatever.

The goons will probably then, attempt to troll in their usual Cliche fashion, one of the sentences,I am expecting to see on the forums is:
"We are combating inflation"

I have only 1 warning for the goons:
IF you over do it, you could face retribution over to many accounts going inactive to fast, so don't get to greedy to fast.

Good luck, and don't fork up the game.

Ok im here you can stop panicking. As you can see it took me less then 2 weeks to come... you could have just mailed me ingame or convoed

Its come full circle, now that people are blindly accusing goons of market manip, they have become bob.
