Yes it has, it's very sad.
Isk deals for Megathrons at 90 mill is nuts. All the big corp used to complain about smaller corp killing the maket with cheap cruiser deals, but now they are killing the battleship market.
Oh well. We'll just have to build for our members only then.

Edited by: Zakura on 27/08/2003 17:14:50 well I donĘt know about u guys, but I got a life outside the comp :) and It will take... several months for me to get a megathron for 110M (the price before) ... The price difference between a Cruiser is..omg too high! A "normal" player wont have the money as fast as possible, its tooo slow to get 110M, and since mining is the only way to make good money (well of course u CAN make GOOD money on trading, but thatĘs hard,..) I think many player find it impossible to get one, so they quit the game.. Well u could be lucky to know a friend that can help u with one, or maybe a corp. that can.. but I donĘt think thatĘs common.. So about the price dropping is good.. Probably not for u guys, u want to suck as much money as possible out of ppl
btw, I do now own 45M Isk... PURE mining-money.. And I find it toooooooooo hard to get up to 100M.. Not even worth as a goal..

BTW just to defend one of the "bigger corps" All I know we are doing personaly is matching prices that are out there on the market or advertise (and are valid) in the trade channels it is sad when I make a posting and have to pull my prices off the posting because some yahoo that does not care about the market Says "I will beat any price they Have".
This is a sad day for Eve that this has come to pass because this will have a ripple efect on alot of of corps and the ones that will get hurt the most are the mining corps because if the manufactures that buy lots of mins (like ourselves) stop buying as much because it is not profitable to do so any more. Because if it comes down to making like a 1 or 2 mil profit on a battle ship it is not worth it to make it anymore would take selling 1k battleships just to pay for the cost of one bp.
just my thoughts. -- Datsevlu Blow'em up we'll build more.

Next patch Megathrons are getting 100 CPU and 1 Low Slot. I don't see how a Dominix will be better.

Yep, same thing happened with frigs, then modules, then crusiers. The game is getting to the point of battleships now and the same will happen to battleships. Nothing will change it, we'll just have to hope for the best. When that drops enough, non-isk deals might increase in popularity. ------------------- Basic truths?

I have to agree with Techel. After the limited BPC release and TTI's ridiculously low prices we have not gotten many battleship sales. This means our mineral orders have stopped and we are only mining to put eveyone in our corp into a ship. We still actively look for customers, but our prices have gone down due to very high competition. I hope there will be a long term solution to fix the market or it will continue to decline.
One huge reason is that in capitalism, you need POOR folk doing the dirty work cheap to keep an economy going. In the real world the middle class and poor outnumber the rich. In EVE it's all different and fluctuates too much. A player based economy CANNOT function to that reason. NPC buy and sell orders need be in place to stabilize the economy.

I agree totally with ccp needs to artificially stimulates this economy. This is a game and therefore some of the "real world" stimulations that drive an economy will never be here so lets stop trying to make the economy "so real" It needs to be tweaked so that more people are having fun.
Lots of people would love PvP action now that they are in BS's but if it would take two months of boring mining to be able to replace then most opt not to participate and thus people are "all dressed up with no where to go" kinda thing going on.

Edited by: Dragon Emperor on 28/08/2003 06:30:16 actually there's a easy solution, put HUGE npc demand for ALL items, then that's the base value, nobody will sell lower than that, and makes the profit of npc demand is about 10-15% for pe5 people.
or maybe put in some kinds of npc contract system, depends on your standing, gallente navy will issue a contract for 10 bs per day for xxx isk etc :)

That's the way it was supposed to be, with barter and trading skills affecting your profits with NPCs. Course that fell through and is useless. ------------------- Basic truths? Idiots make us rich. - Some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill them. |

It would take someone 35 days, playing 2 hours a day to get 70 mil at the rate i played. (1mil a hour).

Yes this is a problem. What use is a ship if you dont want to use it. Its value is not how much you paid for it but what isk it makes for you. Silly to think that you buy a BS to show off in your hanger. I would like everyone buy a BS and fly thier cruisers = money sink.
I for one do not believe bigger is better. ISK is better used to make more, trading. The slow and steady allways win the race. --------------------------
Garsh ma it soo cool killing people in there space thingies |
