Assuming this patch goes through as currently laid out what will the wider implications be?
It seems obvious that new reactants for Platinum Technite should gain some value for those brave enough to speculate, but what about the indirect change, considering the entire T2 market is largely affected by tech prices what kind of changes can we expect?
Many T2 products are dominated my the mineral costs or invention costs (Guns, T2 Siege / Triage, modules)
However things like ships which take a very large volume of tech compared to other minerals and invention costs could see a huge price drop.
Can we expect JFs, T2 BS, CS and T2 cruisers to take a large hit due to the reduced costs? Also the affected T2 BPOs should lose some build value (not collectors) due to invention being a close alternative.
What kind of prices can we expect for these ships or other items dominated by tech price? Will we see 4bn Jump freighters again? or 100m HACs? |

After evaluating the market reactions and the estimates from experienced players we now feel comfortable accelerating our planned implementation these reactions. We're going to have them start at 10/1 ratios and re-evaluate from there.
Thank you, not just for changing the process to what I believe is closer to the balance that eve needs but for actually listening to players.
If thinking through the consequences, listening to player feedback and implementing carefully rather than just going all in become defining features of all patches all I can say is, awesome. WTB more CCP Fozzies.
Sorry for the mild derail, not everyday we get to celebrate dev excellence. Back on topic with the new 10:1 ratio which should have a meaningful, but not game-breaking impact on prices, it seems CS might become a more cost effective option for some gang PVP roles as they should end up a fair bit cheaper than tier 3 BS. I know they still have their drawbacks but it'd be nice to see the class utilized more. |

If they had the level of control you imply they would be better set up to do this now.
Your argument seems to be supply increasing will somehow increase prices? |
