Also, you're probably right. plenty of people who know how to make a bottleneck work in their favor. that said, might as well profit from it while it lasts.

worst feeling of all is not knowing when you're too late. thought I'd missed the boat when the technetium spike was happening. was at 40k a piece at that time. every day I logged in I was kicking myself for perpetually missing that boat... same with nocxium @ 200, same with morphite @ 6k... you get the picture ;-) Founder of the soon-to-be Legendary Tournament series -=DESTRUCTION DERPY=- Are you up for the challenge?

Golden quote. Helpful translation:
Zephyrs are niche ships. the ones who use it tend to buy one, then use it for a long time until either they don't need it anymore or until they lose it. it's not even a combat compatible ship, so demand for this item is very, very low. usually I see one lying around in WH POSes for all to use, which rarely happens. all the collectors already have one, so its kind of a dead item. adding more supply to that market easily crashes its value.
Lets add in the Genolution implants in this discussion, I heard someone trying to make a point that the same will happen to geckos when they release new stock. Implants get lost a bit more often, especially since the gen implants can arguably be considered to be combat implants. still, losing a ship does not automatically mean you'll lose your pod as well. last time I lost my pod was I dunno, probably more than a year ago. the release of new implants caused the market to go down for a while, until it stabilized again 20 mil above its crashing point. not a bad investment for the ones buying into it when the new implants were released.
Finally, Geckos. A heavy hitting drone, very popular among pilots of all trades including carrier pilots, PvP capsuleers and PvE bears. why? they hit hard. it's actually one of the few useful consumables CCP has released in limited supply over the years, probably even more popular than Quafe Zero when it was first released. the best part is, people will always be people. don't tell me you've never heard the phrase "Lol left my drones... ah well **** it". People lose drones all the time, its why trade volume is always high on the little bastards. if people wouldnt lose drones, there wouldnt be such a demand for Warriors, hobs etc. its almost a recyleable form of ammo, not entirely single use, but by far the most disposed of item in this list.
your argument is about geckos crashing hard if/when CCP seeds more geckos around xmas. that's about 6 months from now. until then, there is no real reason to assume new geckos will be seeded, no matter how many tinfoil hats you put on. the only proof we have right now is that CCP has handed out the last batch of geckos and that there is a high demand. combine that fact with the fact that people are derpy, supply will shrink over time, giving the gecko all the freedom it needs to spike upwards. I'm not saying geckos will go up to the 40's or even 50's as some are saying, for in the end I am not sure if I would fly a batch worth 3 dramiels comfortably, however considering the fact that both PvE'ers (who spend stupid amounts of isk on shiny stuff) and cap pilots who are used to spending 20 mil per fighter have bought in on the gecko craze, I truly believe that 25-30 mil per gecko is not crazy talk. as a matter of fact, I think it won't be long until we're there.
and even in case CCP decides to release new geckos at xmas, well, if 6 months worth of spiking can't make you a profit, you're doing it wrong.

pretty sure Fozzie said this was a one time deal, whether or not he is lying though, I wouldn't expect to see them in game again for a while.

you avatar looks like shes farting.
also, geckos are pretty nice on carriers, or so people insist on. and with renters being what they are, they will buy them regardless of price and keep losing them by the dozen.
i haven't really seen them on pvp outside of small gangs using EOS as the main PEWPEW, and in those cases they hardly die. as 2 geckos + 1 augmented berserker have a similar DPS to a full augmented heavy wing, but their optimal and alpha is ludicrous. and will get even more ******** once CCP gets to fixing the omnilinks. add to that 2x navs and they move around at 5kms. they are monsters, and yes the EOS bonus does apply to them.
outside of EOS I've seen them on some solo prophecies and myrms, but they kinda suck when engaging anything smaller than a bc, and even then you usually regret using 50m3 of space on one drone instead of another wing of meds. once it sinks in, or prices rise enough, people will stop using them.
on incursions augmented lights are better and cheaper on unbonussed ships in VGs, and HQs still prefer sentries or lights depending on the bunny. same with lvl4s, the damage the ship does just doesn't offset travel time on drone boats considering augmented heavies are available. and on unbonussed hulls warriors or augmented hobgoblins are far better at killing frigates.
i have about 250ish and keep buying them for my personal use because i consider them cheap still, yet i haven't used one yet. :p
my guess is, provided CCP doesn't add more of them later, they will go the way of the harvester drones once renters realize that ratting on a BS or T3 hull with assigned drones not only its more efficient, it will usually not end with them being publicly ridiculed. just like it happens now with harvesters, they will be definitely better than the other tools for the job, but so expensive and niche that noone will be using them.
to be honest, i would like a new line up of racial 50mb drones to be added to the game. even if it negatively impacts on the Gecko prices, 50mb drones add some variation to drone selection. |

Even if only half of active accounts claimed their geckos, that would mean there we're roughly 2 million introduced into the game. With that amount out there, even if 100 geckos we're lost every day it would take about 27 years for the total amount of geckos to be halved. That means then market would still theoretically be flooded decades after geckos we're introduced, especially considering the 100 lost per day estimate is generous with the huge amount of bandwidth they use and the buff to other drones.
Of course none of this matters if some trillionaire decides to buy up a huge portion of them and artificially increase their value... |

have to assume they have a cap of 50ish million at that point, they will slowly rise as they become a collectors item and will rarely be used, except in a a few key spots.
Hopefully they do get occasionally released since they are ACTUALY FREAKING USEFUL> |
