You'll need some micro economics 101.
The materials needed to produce an AF are exactly the same as they always have been so that doesn't need changing.
Let me ask you this question: Did you buy an AF at the current prices?
If NO then you're helping to bring AF prices down, you won't get to fly them however.
If YES then you think the high price is justified no matter how much you complain about it on the forums. You're also helping to keep the prices at their current rate.
The only input from CCP that you can expect is some nerf/boost to technetium. |

If you pay attention most t2 items have been on an upward slope. Don't like it? Go take some tech moons, do some mining and produce it cheaper.
You'll have plenty of buyers. This is true to a point, but it cannnot account for a nearly 250% increase in prices. For instance, the zealot has been raised in cost by about 8-10% from the last major patch.
If you're really interested, you should start by breaking down the ships in their cost to produce (including invention) and compared this cost to what is was some time ago. Ideally you'ld do this for all T2 frigs and some similar T2 and T1 ships to get a base to compare to. At this point you can apply some statistics to see wether or nether AF prices are an outlier atm or not.
The thing is, if you understand what I just typed, you'll also understand why they're expensive atm anyways so there's no point in doing this.
If you don't fly an AF worth flying, then don't. Simple as that. Tech nerf is incoming (one day) |

The only complaint i have is that cruisers move too slowly after the nano nerf. A battle-cruiser/BS should not move at 80% of a cruisers speed. Sticking an MWD on a cruiser and only going 1300-1400 seems outrageous, given that cruisers have absolutely NO advantages over BC's other cost... which is a null point when considering tech 2 prices.
BC's have similar mass as cruisers unlike dessies vs frigs. Same mass = same speed (roughly) Apart from 1, BS's move a lot slower. |
