Good long-term buy? It's a useful ship for certain limited roles: the only non-t3 that can warp cloaked and is bubble immune. CCP said it "will be given once - and only once" here. The price can only go up...right? Please share your wisdom MD!

As I have a minimal position in this commodity, I can say that there is strong support in the 110-120 mln ISK area for ready hulls.

The Yacht is useful for carrying BPOs, boosters and other low volume high-value miscellanea - a rather specialised use, unlike the Gnosis battlecruiser, which we can look at as an example. Gnosis, however, was discounted further by 5-run BPCs from the Collector's Edition, and seems to have settled where current Combat BCs are - 60-70 mln ISK range.

Can't say that the Yacht won't dip into below 100 mln ISK territory, but considering the innate ship bonuses to cloaking, bubble immunity and generally very good battlecruiser-like EHP, along with very fast warp speed - the event of that happening is unlikely.

Personally, I have flown it through null and the only downsides is that the cloaking reactivation delay is 30 seconds, which can be mitigated by turning off cloak mid-warp, in order to make it available after the jump into the next system. However, even if you jump immediately after disabling cloak, there is enough time for it to become available thanks to the system jump cloak. Three Warp Speed rigs bring it to around 10.6 AU/sec, which also magnifies the mentioned annoyance.

Also, A T2/T3 destroyer with a sensor booster can catch you before you cloak, if you're unlucky, so I recommend fitting 2 (two) Warp Core Stabs to minimise the chance of that happening.

Does the information satisfy you?

It's 4k hp across each tier of protection - that's Hurricane BC level. And yes, it is nullified - buy, buy, buy.

Dont forget the following:

- Not everyone will end up building it (dont underestimate the power of the derp)
- players come and go, but only players who were around to claim this BPC will actually have a chance at this ship. 6 months from now, quite a lot of people who were around right now might not be here anymore, some of which holding these BPC's/ships in their holds
- as the volume of this ship decreases, bottlenecking and stockpiling will become easier. chances are high some of us may very well be sitting on a few dozen samples by now.

add these factors to your numbers and I think we're losing quite a few more than your projected 10-20 ships a day. when I buy something, you may very well consider it lost until I sell it, which can be in sizable chunks at a time.

This ship is usefull. And you only have one per account. Are you sure you will sell it? Cause I am gonna keep mine and something tells me, that plenty of high sec carebears / miners will do so even though they do not really need nullified ship with 30 m3 cargo space. Cause it is A YACHT !

So I seroisly doubt Gnosis or even Leopard price history can be good arguments in this case. More likely the price will keep slowly going up, cause carebears do not want to sell this nice shiny thing and null bears will keep losing it.

I for one also love them - I got a few extra, purely for private use. I don't expect them to be going up in price any time soon

I'm buying as many as I can at good prices (cheap BPCs in weird stations, etc.) - steadily over days. I can't predict the price in a week, but I'd be shocked if this wasn't a good investment over the course of a year or two.

Yacht hulls selling under 100 mil in Jita.

It is supposedly a blue spaceship, and I'm colour-blind. So no use for me.

Sorry, Sir, I disagree with you.
Your numbers are no based on any solid data.
How many of these BPCs have been redeemed finally? How many BPCs have been lost by ganking T1 indu ships?

Speculation everywhere :)

I think you can compare it with the Leopard... every subscribed account had the chance to redeem one and the prices are pure speculation.

Nobody knows, if CCP goes crazy and releases a BPO for the Leopard. Or "nerfs" the Yacht and removes the bubble imminity.
