I can't believe what I'm seeing in this game...
"Civilian Afterburner" at 500k a pop...
I'm doing TUTORIAL missions right now, specifically the mining/business ones. Currently, the mining one has requested that I obtain not one, but TWO civilian afterburners...

*Pulls up market*

Every single one is over 450k...

After maybe 10 tutorial missions, I have about 700k ISK.

So you're telling me, I have to basically spend all my money (and mine for another 15 minutes) in order to complete this mission and gain a measly 60k isk?
What the fk is that??? This is absolutely stupid.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that mission give you a bpc that allows you to build the two modules using just tritanium?
Also, this is the wrong forum. You should be in eve new citizens Q&A

If there was a BPO for it, they'd be as cheeap as Civilian Shield Boosters (which are mostly used by Mackinaw pilots it seems).

They are priced in a proper EvE didactical way.

Those stupid enough to skip the instructions, skip tutorials and just get to that mission without having done their homework get to pay an high fee.

It's the EvE way to teach that in this game stupid CAN be fixed. With (wallet) extinction.

You can either follow the tutorial and build the afterburners for allmost no cost - or skip that and pay premium price for completing mission faster by just buying them.

For new players I would not suggest buying them, because that costs a lot and you miss the manufacturing experience.
