Hello.....

Does anyone know why Micro Capacitor Boosters are so expensive?

Have never looked at them until now, but cant see me ever using them at these crazy prices....

Cheers,

I'd say extremely low drop rate, if there are not many of something the price goes up.

The fact that such an item might be useless loses to its rareness.

Maybe because most of cool items come from null sec ratters.

Those people mainly kill bss, they dont bother with cruisers or frigs.

So medium,small items cost more then large.

Rumor has it that they cannot be produced any longer.

That is correct. All micro bpo's where changed into small bpo's since they hardly had any use.

Think I got a few of those somewhere as a keep sake.

What this man said. A shame, you can make a mean stealth bomber with them. Having to fit a small really gimps the fit. Cry

All the micro mod bpos were pulled and replaced many years ago. (I think it was 07) So they are indeed no longer producible.

Most of the micro mods were useless, but some (like the micro cap booster, and micro cap battery) had some niche uses.

Population has grown, and the amount of modules available can only decrease. So the price has skyrocketed.
