well yeah... you have a game with essentially unlimited resources at your hands, all you have to worry about is time to make it (and in 0.0 tech moon terms just unlimited funds) cost as a balancing factor becomes moot

Tippia should just gtfo of this thread and go back to ganking defenseless hulks ingame.

Cost remains a factor in balance.

Every single factor can become moot when you give it enough time. It is because time itself is a part of the balance and when you allow time to grow limitless then it will unbalance any other factor.

Cost remains a factor in balance. If it was not then we could change all bills of materials into 1 Tritanium. This is not going to work. To believe cost alone can solve any issues was the mistake. CCP keeps working on caps and not because they did not set the prices high enough, but because many of factors still need to be balanced. You would not want CCP to fix a balance issue by removing 99% of a ship's hull or by adding 10 times more DPS either. The risk for a change to throw the balance off the other end is too high.

You're confusing balance and numbers. Cost is a factor in the latter, not the former. Balance is also a factor in the latter, both directly and indirectly through the mechanic of cost. Either way, the effect goes one way (even though it splits up), and not the other, so cost does not factor into the balance of the ship.

Just gonna quote and leave this here, as proof to Tippias' superiority over all miners 'n' carebears.

You've never been able to prove that I have ignored any arguments or equivocated over anything, you knowGǪ Maybe it's about time you do so or stop lying to everyone GÇö it's not a very nice thing to do, you know.

Like I said. Lots of posts, zero proof of anything except your complete lack of proof.

Proving me more and more right, and yourself more and more wrong, every time you post. One would think you'd be a bit disturbed by this development.

Quite irrelevant.

The point is, they're both the same kind of ship: a non-combat industrial-type ship meant for one thing and one thing only (and, just to repeat that: it's not combat). You can still squeeze 30k EHP out of a Hulk, and that's fairly respectable for what it is and what it's supposed to be doing.

Ah yes, the old ROFL evidenciary presentation.

Big on content, that.

Exhumers should be redesigned, more slots, power grid same line with tier 3 battleships. They should be able to fit 100 000 EHP tank.

Not intended to be evidence. Enjoy.

"They are also far more resilient, better able to handle the dangers of deep space."

That says defense equipped in expectation of combat to me.

Of course not, largely because you have no evidence as you have long since proven.

You will have a case for needing to buff the Hulk when sales drop off sharply in favor of cheaper alternatives, not before.

i cant understand why ship worth actualy 330mil cant stand to curple t1 fited derstroyers or even cant survive one tornado, crazy...
