Wormholes

So once t2 cap rigs are introduced, will t2 rigs still be a thing? 5 times the material cost would put some commonly used t2 rigs above the cost of a carrier hull. As of this moment, my caps are t2 rigged.

Also, this is more of a discussion starter than a question.

If this is true I would suspect most people would use T2 capital rigs on supers only.

The potential price rise is a concern, definitely going to make people a lot more reluctant to actually use their capitals in w-space and to a lesser degree lowsec if the t1 rigs are a lot more expensive and fitting t2 ones is significantly more than the hull price.

Sounds like now is the time to fit all my Caps with T2 Large Rigs. After the patch it will cost a lot more.

I will assume CCP will follow the past and if its fit it stays. Or will I get a refund for all my Frigs that have large rigs on them?

now is kinda late, as they already cost quite a bit (people bought them all up, in whole regions at a time) and reselling them at higher prices already

No big deal, just buy like 10 archons and fit them all with T2 CCC's and you're set. It's funny how the CCP post doesn't make it clear if they intend to create T2 capital rigs either. If they don't, I'm going to literally die of laughter while I roll around in my pimp T2 rigged cap that nobody else can ever get unless they themselves had some before the patch.

Also, the T2 rigs are expensive now because of the speculation, so just build your own, not terribly hard.

Why? The only T2 rigs worth fitting to a moros are T2 gun rigs which are already super cheap (~30mil) now, and will only be ~150mil post patch, not really worth tying up around 3bil worth of isk just to save 120mil in 2-3 months.

It's really only worth it for fitting expensive T2 rigs, i.e. trimarks, CCC's, semiconductors, w/e, and I can't see a reason why you would fit any of those to a dread, just not worth it in pretty much any case unless you're giga rich and just don't care.

With the groups I've flown with in C5's, their standard fits for dreads and carriers all included T2 semiconductors and trimarks, sooooo.... vOv

I personally think a lot of groups in high class wormholes are somewhat deluded.

Your choice to fit T2 trimarks and semiconductors to dreads if you want, but imo right now they're absolutely not cost effective or useful in any way. Neither are useful in pve in any way, and they only offer marginal utility in pvp over just t1 rigs. (And I'd argue that a T2 gun rig + 2 t1 trimarks is the best possible rigging setup for a pvp dread anyway).

T2 CCC's are worth it on an archon though, and like Jack mentioned, you'd be wise to buy some archons and rig them with T2 CCC's since even if you don't use them yourself down the line (saving them as replacements in a sense), somebody will definitely buy your archon, and you'll make a pretty penny since 2 t2 CCC's costs around 400mil right now, but post patch assuming 5x cost, 2 of them will be worth 2bil. So you're potentially making ~1.6bil per archon you rig with T2 CCC's, which is essentially a 100% return on investment (since it''ll cost you around 1.6-1.7bil to buy the archon and rigs in the first place).

Doesn't even have to be T2 rigs, even T1 rigs are worth rigging now if you're going planning on using a cap in the next 3-4 months, but haven't bought it.
