Hey all,
I've done a bit of number crunching and excel loving and found out some pretty "funny" stuff.
Allow me to illustrate:
If we take 1 heretic and analyze its components at the basic -4 ME build cost, we can see that it would take the following T2 components:
Antimatter Reactor Unit x 90 Fusion Thruster x 120 Nanoelectrical Microprocessor x 60 Radar Sensor Cluster x 60 Tesseract Capacitor Unit x 75 Tungsten Carbide Armor Plate x 90 Linear Shield Emitter x 75
If we cut that down to the basic moonminerals we and up with:
Atmospheric.....64,4 Cadmium.........76,67 Caesium.........40,045 Chromium........57,625 Dysprosium......52,625 Evaporite.......106,445 Hafnium.........39,67 Hydrocarbons....18,75 Mercury.........45 Neodymium.......37 Platinum........137,775 Promethium......66,75 Silicates.......55,795 Technetium......33,25 Thulium.........22,5 Tungsten........54,9 Vanadium........39,67
This would be the exact amount of moon minerals required to make the T2 components to make 1 heretic (bar any rounding errors)
Lets make it a bit clearer though, lets show the amount of isk instead of the amount of items involved. We'll use the current jita prices. I'll add a column showing the percentage of the total cost.
Atmospheric.....4.184,71........0,05% Cadmium.........116.461,73......1,34% Caesium.........93.505,08.......1,07% Chromium........45.811,88.......0,53% Dysprosium......4.933.593,75....56,56% Evaporite.......24.588,80.......0,28% Hafnium.........39.670,00.......0,45% Hydrocarbons....871,88..........0,01% Mercury.........152.100,00......1,74% Neodymium.......87.986,00.......1,01% Platinum........148.383,68......1,70% Promethium......2.787.480,00....31,95% Silicates.......9.819,92........0,11% Technetium......202.825,00......2,33% Thulium.........30.937,50.......0,35% Tungsten........15.921,00.......0,18% Vanadium........29.236,79.......0,34%
There we have it. Over half of the price of the T2 components of a Heretic is simply the price of the amount of Dysprosium in the ship. Almost 32% of the price is the amount of Promethium in it. Anything else is worth nothing.
Why isn't anything being done about this? The entire moonmining gameplay is a complete exercise in futility except for Dysprosium and Promethium moons.
Please take note CCP and do something about it, or is this intended gameplay? Gameplay that makes the few people that privately own them super rich and gameplay that makes the most powerful alliances even much more powerful.
PS: Please check my findings, errors do occur and I wish I am wrong. PPS: Please fix the forums as well, columns are a pain to get done decently
