EVE General Discussion

180m isk per hour, and in high-sec?

Checked the lp ratio of Stratios, which has been stabled at 3100:1, three times higher than major faction navy.

According to the effectiveness people doing lv4 mission , we can estimate that in a Machariel it's possible to earn ~180m isk per hour (50% from LP) on average, which is even higher than most people killing anomalies in nullsec.
(Calculated using LP payout at Lanngisi 0.5 and Apanake 0.5 and 3100:1 lp ratio for Stratios BPC)

With the future of Nestor, the lp ratio for SOE may even increase or at least stable at current state

In a high-end mission ship(like Machariel, rattlesnake or marauder) with cheap factional/T2 mods(so you're never profitable to gank)



0.0/Low Alternative?

Even though ccp claimed that they want to make null/low sec competitive, there is only agent of The Sanctuary in X-70 that can be easily harassed, and practically it does not bring any alternative or competition to the high sec 0.5 hubs.


Apparently it is not well balanced. With the infinite potential to hold people in a single solar system, there are little reasons to compete with other missioners. Some people mentioned war or suicide gank, but they are rather ineffective and only harassed a few people that are extreme minority comparing to the whole population who's doing SOE lv4s.
And if people can play with some care, using insta undock bookmark and alt scout, the risk of ganking is then handed over to real newbies.



A problem?

The real problem is EVE's mission system. Missions from an agent is infinite and a high-sec system can theoretically live an infinite population.

Low-sec and null has its nature disadvantage that when a local has more than certain amount of people (say 30), there will be problem to see coming hostile, not to mention gate camps.

Is this a problem or we can just wait the "free market" to fix it by bring 1000 people to Lanngisi and Apanake local?

What if we dropped all the BPC's that can be found in anoms and only allowed the pirate BSes to be gained from LP stores?

Imagine, the ONLY way to get a bhaalgorn or machariel would be if someone missioned for it...

It would actually give reason for the NPC-null regions to be raided by carebears that want the best paying missions in the game.

Oh the tears of treating people the same across the board....



Oh and posting in another nerf highsec thread.

Stop having fun in a way I don't approve thread 1957494830


Nerf hi sec income when I can fly in low sec and not pvp

Once the market stabilizes it won't be so lucrative.

Man, I love it when people come to the forums and start spewing numbers out their behinds. I do SOE missions, and I have never made anywhere near 180 million an hour, even dividing the time up and so on after getting enough LP for a SOE ship. Even with my main mission guy @ level 5 on the social skills. I even use multiple characters in Dominix to do missions at times. I must be doing it wrong or something.

OP probably didn't take account the 50% LP and isk cost of the High Sec SOE ships when making up those numbers.

Quick, close the thread before anyone notices!

so..nerf wazoo's?

OP is trying to trick more people into running SoE missions so that those damn ships will go down in price.
I for one, salute him

It will nerf itself over time as more people realize the profitability and take advantage of it.

See: supply and demand, basic economics.
