Hi,

I am wondering why people uses Tracking Computer II instead of 'Marketeer' Tracking Computer.

Looking on specs in EFT shows that Marketeer gives the same base output but uses less cap without skills involved.

Duration: 10
Optimal: 7,5%
Falloff & Tracking: 15%
ect..

Marketeer takes 26 CPU to fit vs. 35 for Track puter II.
Marketeer eats 4 cap energi pr. cycles as opposed to Tracking Computer II, which eats 10.

Plus the marketeer is cheaper as well.

So what, if any at all, difference are there between those two?

(all above data are taken from EFT version 2.34, released 11th march 2016)

Two possibilities exists: Either we are alone in the universeĀ or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

ahh my bad.

I was looking at the base price in EVE Droid app.

where the base price for marketeer is almost 10k isk vs. 84k isk for track puter II.

But ofc the market is living thing, so cannot count on that.

/Nothing to see here. Move along :D

Don't believe prices in EFT. While they are mostly okay, for rarer items they can be way off.

I think the 'Marketeer' is one of those rare blueprint drops. I did a quick check on eve central and the cheapest listed was 33 million compared to less than 1 million for the T2 version.
