Market Discussions

This, exactly.

Looking at a few of the ice fields in Caldari space over the past week, the smaller numbers suggests that some ice miners have already shifted back to ore in the hopes of getting ahead on BS production before Odyssey.

And, of course, after a few weeks of chasing anoms the "Can't Be Arsed" factor will climb steadily.

Also, keep in mind that these ships are insanely expensive and have little utility. Even if CCP buffs these ships, they are probably going to increase drop rates by quite a bit.

The question is where they are going to find ore to mine. Assuming most miners are going to mine ore when the ice is not up, how long before all the systems around an ice system are depleted?

So essentially people will go from AFK ice mining to flying around to find anything to mine at all? Gonna be rough.

Navy Geddons will go up. I know of a few alliances seriously EFT warrioring Navy Geddon doctrines.

I did this and fitted them with 2x T2 CCC, 1x T1 CCC each.

will be offering a quarter bil finders fee to players who convince others it's a good deal post-odyssey.

I would've gone with archons, but the pitch of "cap stable mission carrier" with drone damage bonus seemed a little easier to make the flip... eg nubs with purchased carrier pilots and a six pack of plex is more viable than C5/C6 site runners using T2 CCC Archons.

not saying it's the best idea ever. i just need help finding 12 players who want to buy. each of the ships can be blindly undocked looking for a mission agent, for all I care. and if they ask if I can cyno them somewhere, you bet your ass I know exactly who they're getting cyno'd to :-D

prior to this all that ISK was in high sec mission shinies... but if this works out I'm pretty sure I've left that gameplay behind forever. ...aside from leisurely lvl4 lolmissions in harpys

I'm looking to turn 15bil into 30, with no market experience at this point, but I'd like to develop some. I'll be lurking market discussions a lot more.

Vaerah if you read this I want to say thank you for your blogs, I find them very interesting and informative, and I refer others to them regularly.

I think model 6639 is definitely hotter and more likely to convince people to buy the ships.

I'm a capital ship noob (both flying and selling), thus my opinion may have little value, but generally it is easier to sell un-rigged ships. Rigging them before selling limits your clientele by a BIG percentage. There is generally no standard way of rigging ships, and everyone wants to do their own thing (though I have seen some carrier fits with CCCs).

Unless there has been a buff to this ship, or to drones, or other stuff that the ship uses, it may be difficult to convince people that your items are a good buy/investment post Odyssey.

Best of luck, and hope your plan works.

so do I get the cut?
