That's the sound of a cat getting let out of a bag.
RS hulls up 75 million ISK in seven hours.
Seems one or two people bought out the market and relisted at a higher price.
However, buy orders are still below 400M for now.
Considering that some (other ?) people built up a sizable stock over the recent weeks (wish I could toss "a few 100 Bn or so", like Ero  ), it'll be interesting to see whether we'll see someone trying to take advantage of the higher price now or if everyone will wait for even higher prices.
If the RS is changed to a "two drone" boat (with a very high bonus as CCP Rise hinted at) and if that also apllies to sentries (and that's a very big "if") then the RS could be used to circumvent the coming limitations to drone assist which could make the RS very interesting as a doctrine ship which again might provide high demand and thus high prices. I'd expect to see prices at least around 600M or even higher then.

[...] Jita sell price for the built hull is now ~480m and there are less for sale than there were before (I don't think this is much of a relisting; people seem to be doing a 'buy and hold').
There are two sell orders, one with 10, the other with 11 ships, which I had in mind. I only had time for quick glance this morning and I thought these were fresh sell orders - I might be completely wrong on this, though.
Quote:As for the future use of the hull - pirate BSes can't be realistically used in blob fights as the universe does not produce enough of them to meet that sort of demand. AFAIK, no entity larger than Rooks and Kings uses pirate battleships as the centrepiece of fleets.
I see it as one of the premier PvE boats of the future, with some PvP use in small to medium gangs and particularly by empire mercs and wormholers. Of course the stats given to it may not support this, but even if it becomes a 'like a present Dominix but better' it won't be in any large alliance fleet doctrines any time soon.
Yeah, you're probably right. I wasn't considering the limited numbers of available ships. But in any case it should be enough to drive demand and prices high enough to make a good profit.

Ditto (at least on the "holding my stockpile" and "not as deeply invested as many others" parts). |
