Thank you, CCP. First "we remove shuttles NPC trade because of free market and so on". Now: NPCs are selling exploration probes. Anyone seen any info about it in patch notes? Any explanation? "Free market". Nah.

Are you serious?? where and for what type of prices?
I mean honestly.. why did I fly into low sec and spend/transport 80M of BPO's then?
CCP Please remove this latest assault on the exploration market, hasnt enough been done to flood us with new explorers already?

Looks like every CONCORD station sells probes. Quests for example for 8-9k ISK or so. 5555 units on every station. That's just not fair.

Wasn't it always like this? I certainly always visited a CONCORD station for my scan probes.

I make em myself and they are worth something in 6-7k(if I used bought minerals). Not like I have to really buy minerals, plenty of them from reprocessing to make my missiles and probes. |

he is talking about the moon scanning probes, i.e discovery survey probes.
There are no BPO for them in game, and they have always been sold by NPC.
Exploration probes ( quest, sift etc ) and ship scanning probes ( snoop, spook etc ) are made and sold by players
Just thought I would clear that up as you are all getting a little bit excited |

No - you are wrong.
The OP is correct.
NPCs are selling Exploration probes - i.e. Radar quest probes, in some regions since the patch. We know it is the NPC because the orders are for 365Days.

That's not the point. CCP ruined whole probes market without a single word. No info in pach notes. No explanation. Nothing. That's ridiculous. NPCs don't sell shuttles because of free market, and after another patch NPCs sell probes because of... Hmm... That's what I mean. |

At least in Molden Heath, Concord has always sold the recon probes.
Not sure about the exploration ones. |

I think Faife is right. Sometime when the database is copied during large patchs this kind of things happens.
I recall a day when in a whole region every Gallente station had 999.999 Exqueruror on sale. So it is possible it is a bug and that bug reporting it will clear it.

Edited by: Jurgen Cartis on 13/06/2008 06:47:48 I wouldn't worry about it too much. Last time I bought probes (before the patch) they ran me about 5k each. In short, players have been making these, and for cheaper than NPCs, for a while now. Just because NPCs can sell them does not mean the market for them is 'ruined'.
And I think CONCORD has been selling probes for a lot longer as well, not sure about that though.
Edit: Probes are ammunition. No one goes farther than they have to for ammunition. Saving 200k on 40 Quests or 40,000 Scourge just isn't worth the jump. NPCs may cap prices, but they only cap prices in systems with CONCORD stations, and those aren't particularly common. |

this, but I am disappointed in this change as I thought price caps were being removed not added.

Yes, and I am disappointed because of no CCP comment/reaction. |
