I'm a mission runner, I'm starting a new bastid child to whip.
T2 manufacturers make too much isk for low or little risk.
To solve this, I suggest the following.
- T2 BPO can only be researched and manufactured and used in 0.0 space. - They must be physically present in a POS station or conquerable station. - They can't be copied. T2 BPO must be at risk of capture/destruction at all times. - T2 ships and components can only be bought and sold or traded or escrowed in low 0.0 systems.

If you think they make too much money, grind some missions, buy an interface, start inventing things like mad, and sell your own T2 mods cheaper, that will force them to make less money. :p ------------------------------------------ Every ship has a base 60-70% resist against the primary damage type of the race that is the least able to vary it's damage types. |

Heh, if they didn't I sure as hell wouldn't be spending a month of skill training time preparing to run multiple r&d agents. It works the same as any real research type thing could, everyone gets an equal chance to be able to build up research merit and the lucky one who either had 6 agents with 2m RP or 1 day, 1 agent and 30 RP gets to reap the rewards and shouldn't be restricted in any way once they have the right to build with a BPO. If you want them, do r&d and hope to hell you are lucky. Otherwise invention and the waste of time it is awaits you...

Really, think about that idea for a few seconds...
Besides, I don't have ANY T2 BPOs have about 3.4 bil in the bank and make MORE than enough manufacturing T1 components to T2 manufacturers (on a weekly basis) to fund a fully active PvP life for me and some of my mates.
Stop *****ing, get creative.

The biggest irony is that a few Drake/Myrmidon BPOs, worth a mere 350m a pop (so maybe 1.7b for 5 of them), exceed the profit of a Vagabond BPO by a large margin... 
T2's good, but its not a winbutton.

Well the T2 Hammerhead one is close. 3 mil or more for an item that lists in the DB for less than 90k is a bit out there. And yes this is pretty much my only pet peeve in the game.

Yea some BPO's are winbuttons, DCUII, hammerhead II, etc others are not really that impressive and are lucky to turn over >100mil a month.
My 3 thoughts on the subject... The lottery sucks. Its not hard to get 10bil and buy a semi decent bpo but it will take >1 year to pay off. Lets see how invention goes now it's been unnerfed.
I might buy a nice mod or cheap ship bpo but tbh im not sure thats the best investment atm... -----

T2 Hammerhead is, what, maybe 150m profit a day?
That really is not that much at all. You can make far more with a bit of effort and 10 billion or so in starting capital; compare that to the Hammerhead II BPO, which likely couldn't be bought for 50 billion.
Sure, getting one is luck, but so is getting an ultra-valuable interface via exploration, or an Estemel spawn in 0.0, or getting ones' salvagers to actually work within 10 minutes of turning them on...

I haven't read anything on changes to invention. I must have missed that in the patch notes. I'm assuming, I know a bad thing, that you still can't INVENT drones. If that has changed I will be looking hard into for making t2 drones for myself.

The devs have said, AFAIK, that they will fix it soon so that drones and ammo can be invented.
The "change" to invention was an increase in interface spawn rates, AFAIK.

All of your ideas would increase the cost of tech 2 goods as less people would be able to manufacture. Only those in large 0.0 alliances.

Invention Unnerfed?
I kinda think the other way. At the end the T2 modules will come down in price- eventually but i cant help thinking the only winners here will be Mission Runners.
Quote: Copy from Market forum
Ok so ive run of some test cases today, 1 day after the patch.
Note: I accept 1 day isnt enough to come to a complete viewpoint.
However, before patch i was managing to run 90 run copies and worst case a 40 run copy of Caldari Items with a 2 in 3 failure rate on the invention.
So costings looked like being the following at market value.
3 invention jobs @ 120 Mil each (12 Datacores and Top end Decrypter and Top end Tech 1 item).
Returning an estimated 750-900 Mil in Tech II sales (8-10 Mil a module), a return of 400 Mil with a production time of roughly 5 days to produce the modules. A manufacuring cost needs to be included into the costs as well which can reach 10% of the module value.
After the patch the failure rate remained consistant at between 30-40% but the number of runs has dropped to below the 20 run area per BPC. (Still requires ongoing testing, but ive got a gut feeling in my stomach the nerf bat has hit)
If this stays consistent over the next 2-3 days it seems that Invention on even the top end modules will come to an end as being viable in the short term. Using Datacores/Decrypters/Parts to a value of 360mil for a BPC of 150 Mil isk value is just not feasable. Even if you get the datacores for free from agents - there is no such thing as free!!! - those same datacores could be sold on market until the market bottoms out.
Admittedly long term i expect to see Datacores fall in value from the top end giddy heights of 35mil a pop (the market will equalise itself i assume - no demand means the price will drop) but in order for it to start making sense the prices will have to drop to the 5-7 mil area max so the cost of a successful invention run falls to 60-80mil, for 70-100Mil return in profits. And over time as top end modules halve in price the return will fall to the 50mil area at which stage you start to question if its worth its return in time, with these figures it seems that invention is destined to be mass scale if it is to have an impact.
It seems the Tech II BPO owners can breath again, you have some time before the rot moves in on market prices. Not forever - but some time.
Will continue to test over the next couple of days, but as it stands its time to cash in those datacores while you can.

by "thought" do you mean "how drunk were you before you repeatedly bashed your cranium against a wall"?
because that idea is insane. alright, perhaps some of the other stuff making it a little less convinient for T2 producers to just sit in some highsec station and print ISK might be nice, or perhaps make T2 BPOs less rare (see ref - tech 2 lottery)
personally, i'm happy with the prices and supply of MOST tech 2, though i would like to see some of the ships costs drop by maybe 10-20% - but hey, nothing's perfect  ========================================== Iy |

Dunno but why wasnt that the case for missions runners if people thought they made to much money...I agree t2 producers make WAY to much money for the little risk.

There is nothing stoping you from making T2 stuff. You have the same opertunities that every other player in this game has. Use them.

With current state of invention, you end up with a product that cost more to make than what is current sold on the market (with a very few exceptions).

Yup Invention has now been screwed up, my testing is costing me a fortune.
a 14 run BCUII just dosnt cut it.
And TBH i do not think the Guys with RP Agents are going to hand over their datacores for the 5 Mil isk max required to make it worth your while inventing in the first place.

Edited by: Nev Clavain on 31/01/2007 19:16:41 I actually like the first two points, whatever the effect on prices may be.
Once you get a t2 bpo, if you are smart - you never ever need to risk losing it. For something so rare, valuable and desirable in game, I don't think this fits with the spirit of EVE.
Make it so T2 BPOs have to be produced from POS and outposts, and are subsequently lootable and/or destructable. If they are looted they change hands, if destroyed they get re-seeded.
In my mind that would fix the T2 lottery, because with enough research, planning and force, you can go and take someone's bpo from them, or at least deprive them of it.
Why should such a valuable asset be invulnerable?
AS for the final two points by the OP i would have to disagree - but the first two - i like

What are you smoking?
I produce Eos command ships. I make about 250M per week on them (I can only produce 5.25 units per week with PE 1 on my print, and I pull about 45M profit on each unit. And that's when some nimrod hasn't plunked twenty units at 80M each in my usual markets.
Oh, and as for risk, blow me. I spent ages putting time into getting research points - you think that wasn't a risk, you idiot? I risked getting nothing for all my trouble.
Stick to mission running, Ingols. There's better money in it for you. Better still, go pester the gate-gankers. Maybe they'll explain to you why you have such trouble with sand in your vagina.

250M per week translates to about 6 hours per week of constantly mining Arkanor in a Hulk. Are you surprised people are complaining about tech 2 profit margins?

Lol wow the rest of your post was so bitter i'm going to ignore it.
So for this point - yes what a huge risk setting up a research alt and giving your agent 300 trit every day to maximise your RP. But guess what even if you do absolutely nothingapart from the few days training it takes to set up a research alt, there are people who get very valuable bpos this way. Usually those people don't act so rude trying to defned just how hard things are for them. They know they've got it easy.
Then on a constant stream of totally risk free money. Nothin else in EVE works like this. Your BPO should not be totally safe. Someone bigger and stronger and better organised than you, with the right information should have a chance to come and take it away from you. But hey, if there is no one bigger and stronger or clever enough to get your bpo, then you get to keep it.
The OP's last two suggestions are pretty dumb, but the first two have some merit. You should try and not be so rude to people when defending your cushy little existence. It makes it look like you know very well how borked the system is, and the only way you have to defend your position is to be nasty to people.

To OP: you are mission runner
mission runners could make a billion a week for 2 hours a day, and that's not with maxed skill and just t2/named modules, compare that with t2 bpo, most of them makes you 100mil a week, and you still need to fly around to collect the materials.
I think missioning is better.

Still, I like buying T2 items so keep making 'em, even if i'm insanely broke from buyin' 'em.

Oh, and as for risk, blow me. I spent ages putting time into getting research points - you think that wasn't a risk, you idiot? I risked getting nothing for all my trouble.
Lol wow the rest of your post was so bitter i'm going to ignore it.
So for this point - yes what a huge risk setting up a research alt and giving your agent 300 trit every day to maximise your RP. But guess what even if you do absolutely nothingapart from the few days training it takes to set up a research alt, there are people who get very valuable bpos this way. Usually those people don't act so rude trying to defned just how hard things are for them. They know they've got it easy.
Then on a constant stream of totally risk free money. Nothin else in EVE works like this. Your BPO should not be totally safe. Someone bigger and stronger and better organised than you, with the right information should have a chance to come and take it away from you. But hey, if there is no one bigger and stronger or clever enough to get your bpo, then you get to keep it.
The OP's last two suggestions are pretty dumb, but the first two have some merit. You should try and not be so rude to people when defending your cushy little existence. It makes it look like you know very well how borked the system is, and the only way you have to defend your position is to be nasty to people.
Whant to know? Time neeeded to create a research alt: 2 months to get to 4 agent and the skill for the 5, but not jet the standing in the right corp. Getting about 200 RP a day (plus missions dones, and those pay in RP, not isk). Another 22 days of training for mechanical engineering 5 and 45 for research management 5 (but those will wait). So it is an investment, and not a little one. With no guarantee of return as it is possible to get nothig or a a BPO with little worth.
If you want to try to get a T2 BPO, do the same.
Some items are overpriced, thanks to demand and chartel operations, but saying that it is possible to get BPO with little work is wrong.

it's really sad how many people who posted here didn't look at some other threads floating around and/or have no sense of irony or sarcasm.

I'm a mission runner, I'm starting a new bastid child to whip.
T2 manufacturers make too much isk for low or little risk.
To solve this, I suggest the following.
- T2 BPO can only be researched and manufactured and used in 0.0 space. - They must be physically present in a POS station or conquerable station. - They can't be copied. T2 BPO must be at risk of capture/destruction at all times. - T2 ships and components can only be bought and sold or traded or escrowed in low 0.0 systems.
Whats your risk when you make money? Shooting white bring lights into red crosses? click a button and wait till the big flash?
Missions runners make way to much money nowdays, you are the reason tech2 prices go up You make isks out of the blue, you offer nothing to the eve community other to inflate the market with more isks, more isk power for more people= increased demand = increased prices
What is my risk you wanna know? let me tell you something mate, i gathered isks the way you do, once i had enough i invested on a tech2 bpo, i took a risk i could have lost all my isk cause of that, the risk was and still is great
I might spent 50 bils on a print today, and tomorrow CCP mifht decide to nerf the ship/module/whatever i am producing! What can they nerf to affect you way of making isks? make your Raven or whatever ship you fly suck? no big deal you will train for another one 8 days and you are ready again
Most of tech 2 bpo holders invest on 1 years profit, your caracal bpo producing 24/7 can make more in a month than your initial investement
I wonder why CCP made it so easy to make isks from missions!

Make it so T2 BPOs have to be produced from POS and outposts, and are subsequently lootable and/or destructable. If they are looted they change hands, if destroyed they get re-seeded.
In my mind that would fix the T2 lottery, because with enough research, planning and force, you can go and take someone's bpo from them, or at least deprive them of it.
Yes, and finally each BPO is in the hand of some mega alliance or coalition. Did I say that I have enough of this '5000-man, we pwn the world' blobbage ? (At least for now ... )

y'all are a bit too protective of your cash cows, if something like this arouses such a ridiculous response.
and btw, mission runners don't contribute to tech II inflation anymore than anyone else who flies ships do. they're the ones more likely to have "just good enough" named modules or investment-level faction gear than straight tech II.

T2 kernite crystals anybody?

Edited by: Oro Masut on 01/02/2007 07:31:35 Since i don't own any BPO, i would be very interested in lowest possbile market price. However all of your suggestions would only increase the price of the items and make it even harder to get them.
If something is too expensive, there is a simple solution --- don't buy it ! Pretty easy huh !? I could run the stuff i do in a T1 fitting, T2 speeds things up but i don't need it to run a Lv 4 Mission. As an example, CRIIs, having them allows me to free a med slot or a low slot (remove CPR), thus i am willing to pay up to 10 mio for a module. Were they more expensive, i would stick with the T1 stuff i grind up. As a drone user, i love T2 drones, however i totally gave up on using Hammerhead IIs. They die to easy, and at 2,5 Mio a piece, it is not worth using them. The Hammerhead Is kill fast enough, and it doesn't really matter if i have to tank the adds for 20 seconds more.
WCS gimps your fighting abilty. Make your choice BEFORE you undock. Do not complain about a lost ship ever, if you fit for running and go fighting with it |
