Edited by: samuel222 on 09/06/2006 07:54:42 Why do the hammerhead II's cost me 1.4 mil each when all the other T2 scout drones cost me 200k - 500k each?
it seems a little extortionate to me

Highest damage modifier = most expensive. Also, Gallente racial drone for all those Gallente RPers with drone boats :)
Of course, people fail to recognise the fact that they do thermal damage and are hence not automatically the correct drone(tm).

They (Gallente) are also the best drones to use against Amarr rats (Sansha, Bloods, Amarr Navy...).
Though for PvP, meds and lights should be ******* (censored to prevent price from rising any further).

Travel and you will find cheaper drones. I've never paid more than 600k for a medium drone.

Well about 6 months ago I bought Hammerhead IIs for less than 400K, the current price is crazy. I have gone back to using T1 med drones xcept for Vespa IIs.
Of course this is right in line with a lot of other T2 stuff, for example the Invul fields and armor reppers.
I blame the people buying them still at these prices. Whoever pays 1 million for a medium drone deserves to be shot imho.
Seeing how at the same time prices for a lot of named T1 loot are dropping asmuhc as T2 is on the rise, I am guessing this might be caused by the large player influx since RMR, and a lot of these players now getting out of T1 and into T2.

Blame empire dwellers and nublars, TBH. Oh well... when they lose their overpriced toys, they will hurt and leave EvE. Balanced is achieved. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!

Actually the maths shows that you are always far better off just using thermal dmg drones then any other type of drone given that averaged out over shield / armour and all ships in game, thermal is actually the weakest. So unless you have massive drone bays which enable you to carry full sets of all dmg types, then just take thermal and you're statistically got the best choice.

Well, it depends. If you are hunting players that are prepared to be hunted, yes thermal would be best for the reason you stated. If you are hunting players that were ratting, you want to have a dmg type the rats don't. So in gurista territory that would be EM/Expl, because guristas do Kin/Therm. For sansha territory those would be Kin/Expl. If you are hunting rats themselves, its obvious. Every rat has their weakpoint, which oddly enough is their main dmg type too. So for angels you use Expl drones, and for serpentis Therm.
And that's all I gots to say 'bout that.

Where are the factions drones?
Oh yeah. In the same bin as faction missiles.

You may aswell consider all tier 2 drones to be faction drones since they are the ones that require the (whatever faction) drone specialization skill.
And if you paying too much for a cetrain kind of drone move to ANY OTHER region, normally what i notice is that if you fly into the center of faction controlled space (highest pop density) items frequently used by that race have MUCH lower prices. If something seems overpriced then it probably is, i still find the occasional 1mill shuttle in the market.

I doubt this is the case for t2 hammerheads since demand for that is always very high (oh god, i would kill for a bpo) but I found that for some of the t2 med and heavy drones and there are those players that buy out all the sell orders in a region or even several regions and artificially inflates the market price 50% to 100%. It usually takes about 2 or more weeks before the price returns to normal.

T2 med drones and especially HH2s have been increasing in price steadily for like 4 months now. This is not just some reseller cauisng a temporary price spike, though I am sure they are contributing a lot to the current price too.

Basically, this is a kind of bug... Everyone wants them, as they require next to no skill training. Make them require level 5 in Combat Drone Interfacing (damage skill for light/medium drones) and price/demand will be on par with other tech2 weapons. Look at Ogre II - they require level 5 in Heavy Drone Ops (damage skill for Heavies) and only cost 500k.

I'd rather use Ogres or Hobgoblins to be honest. They're cheaper and I find myself using them a lot more often than Hammerheads.

yep to Sanshas and Bloods, even with EM as the weakest resist Hammerhead/Ogres are the way to go.
Praetors and Infiltrators just suck a lot for PVE

More like the component of Mediums getting a boost, massive growth in playerbase yet zero increase in total number of BPOs. Nothing to do with "greed", just the problem is in the (amount of) buyers.

Just imagine how T2 drone prices would've been if people like me hadn't whined when CCP intended to make Vexor and Dominix have thermal drone damage only (and Arbitrator EM drone damage - which would've made it absolutely useless)...
Ya, well, the devs realized that thermal drones already did most damage. I'm now waiting for the player base in general to realize this. New sig coming soonÖ In the next (content) patch Information Warfare will be nerfed. How sad, it wasn't even useful to begin with. |
