Hi Luxior here,
How much do you think the T3 ship and subsystem prices will be affected by the upcoming changes?
I'd say prices will get better but still won't reach their intended target.

They wont drop that much until CCP puts in the mechanism for choosing which subsystem you get from a reverse engineering job.
In my opinion prices are too low as they are atm, it would seem people aren't factoring in reverse engineering losses or POS costs.
Only time will tell if Rev Eng materials will drop in price or actually rise with the changes. --

Actually they've already dropped way too much in the last 4 days, nearly 200 mil, with hulls now selling for 350-450 mil.
Basically, you will get the production costs down 66%, and you not have specific subs costing 10x much, bringing the whole ship down to some 500-600 mil, instead of todays 800-900 mil. _________________ - Rivqua - --- R.E.P.O. --- |

If that's true then it is still failing the dev target of 300m.

So even with these changes, the prices will still be far higher than projected? ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

They will be another useless addition just like Mauraders and Blackops becuase they are so silly priced no one will buy them...Wonder if CCP actually thinks about these things. I dont give me that players market stuff, cos if your selling so expensive then they wont be sold, then no one benefits. |

There is (or was) a steady stream of Marauder traffic in Domain on their way to missions. Mostly Golems and Paladins with the occasional Kronos. Haven't ever seen a Vargur though.

Dunno where you live but Ive seen about 200 muraders in the last few days flying about.

Lots of carebears in marauders, aye. And with the tractor beam bonus, what did anyone expect?
As to the Vargur, I see quite a few in Frarn when I'm maintaining sec status above -1.99.

600ish mil for T3 sounds a bout right, making it any cheaper would put it in the way of T2. |

They're suppposed to… Or, rather, they're supposed to exists alongside of T2 at a slightly higher price point (the oft-quoted 2-300mil), and be completely different. The problem is that they're rather poorly balanced for that right now, nor do they offer any useful differentiation (apart from the nberscout setup), so… meh… |

As I see it bringing them down to 200-300 mil brings them so 'close' that they WOULD start to replace T2. Having joked around with them a bit on 'paper' I found that all of them have something that just works very well, perhaps they need some tweaking upwards to make other subystem/combinations more worthwhile.
If a Tengu would be 250 mil would you EVER buy a Cerb? |

Yes. 1. cerb is still cheaper 2. cerb has much longer range 3. cerb doesnt cause SP loss when you die

Sounds more like they need to be tweaked to be something completely different. If a Cerb and a Tengu is that similar (and others will probably chime in to claim that they're not), then the Tengu has no reason to be in the game and should be redesigned. |

Tengu goes over 600m/s, does 500-600 dps at 117km range (maxed by targeting range, which is more than the Cerberus) and can permatank both god and beelzebub at the same time. I don't see how that would die in PVE. Bringing one into PVP is as silly as bringing a Cerb for PVP.
So again, why would ANYONE buy a Cerb. It's not like you need one as the Drake is 10 times better for both PVE as PVP so the Cerb is almost always a non-option. |

This is my big dissappointment with T3. It was just supposed to be an alternative for T2. I was expecting part of it to be hugely expensive collectors crap we seem to get more and more, but not all of it. In the fanfest videos, they told it was supposed to be only that way for the top subsystems. What we got was a overpriced mantle piece, that will never see any real action.
I would love, if CCP would actually implemented new items, that will be affordable to use in PvP. This is supposed to be largely a PvP game, so why is everything new designed in a way, that most people can't afford to use them in PvP? It was the same deal with the new drones. Wow, mixed damage types. Too bad they can't actually be produced in a way, that people might afford to use them.
This is why it would have been great, if T3 actually would have been something different instead of just somethng better then T2. Their vision was good, but they seemed to forget it when deciding on the actual details of the ships. As they are now their price can't come down to T2 or they will just replace T2. The good thing is, that CCP has a good working vision. Now all we need is people willing to actually stay with that vision and balance the ship to fit it, instead of making the ships the focus and altering the vision to fit into them. |

Originally by: CCP Chronotis I personally would expect that price range to sit between 100-300 million
That very much leaves room for interpretation and backpedaling, Apart from that I don't WANT them to cost 100 mil. More ships isn't better because it would replace/mess up the whole cruisersize shiprange.

I was under the impression that T3 wasn't all that godly unless you fit it with 2 billion isk worth of deadspace gear.
Having said that the difference between buying and fitting a 250 mil t3 vs a 120 mil cerb is still quite a bit.
...and yeah I think you're really underestimating how players will not like dealing with retraining skills after each ship pops. Sure it's only what 4-5 days to train it back up to 5 (and if it's not at 5 then you wont be getting the performance you state) If you loose 2 a month that's really going to start to add up in skill training loss. |

Edited by: Tzar''rim on 12/06/2009 13:39:55 If a Tengu would cost about 300 mil and you'd use a cheap fitting it would be less than a Golem, casco only. It still tanks more (especially with the MUCH lower sig radius), does more damage with missiles (but lacks drones) and is much faster. Equipping a Golem with torps makes it do more raw damage but due to the lack of range and it's slow speed I'm not sure that actually translates to faster missions.
It's also less boring.

I hope you naysayers are having a laugh.
T3 won't ever sit alongside T2 (with regards to cost).
If they do, T2 (HACS) will be completely and utterly obsolete, since a T3 cruiser outshines them in every aspect.
A T3 cruiser will laugh at a T2 HAC and thats before you consider things like interdiction nullifers.

Well tbh lets take this further, will there be any need for ANY sub cap ship? Seeing T3 are so versatile, you only need one ship with different subsystems to do whatever you want..why have any other? |

No, because then they have been a waste of development time since they won't be used enough.
