Deen Wispa Screaming War Eagles Incorporated 229	Posted - 2012.04.19 20:09:00 - [1] - Quote Do you intend to change your pvp habits with the increase in ship prices? For example, will you be choosing to fly cruiser hulls and below when a Tier 2 BC hull is nearly 60M a pop? :)
masternerdguy Inner Shadow NightSong Directorate 326	Posted - 2012.04.19 20:13:00 - [2] - Quote It's affecting my killboard by making everyone's kills worth more EDIT: I usually fly BC hulls and smaller, and I'm mainly using the Drake and Vagabond. So no real habits changed. Things are only impossible until they are not.
FloppieTheBanjoClown The Skunkworks 1327	Posted - 2012.04.19 20:18:00 - [3] - Quote It's been a while since I lost a ship, so I haven't really felt the new prices yet. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you.

Mfume, I have no idea what this means, but henceforth I shall call Deen a 'disgusting impoverished space hobo' on comms. Thank you! And to answer the disgusting space hobo's question, yes, it does. Since I too am part of the poor, unwashed masses, I can no longer afford Myrms or Hurricanes. So, much to the delight of every FC in GalMil, I shall only fly shield rail Brutix in fleet.
Dark Pangolin Snuff Box 73	Posted - 2012.04.19 21:19:00 - [6] - Quote I actually intend to fly more faction and Recons..since their prices have not skyrocketed yet :D
Fredfredbug4 Kings of Kill EVE Animal Control 204	Posted - 2012.04.19 22:54:00 - [7] - Quote My play style won't change much. I'm always in cruiser and battlecruiser sized vessels. If anything I will have to grind cash more often.
sYnc Vir Wolfsbrigade Lost Obsession 178	Posted - 2012.04.19 23:33:00 - [8] - Quote Having looked at my hanger, ur no not really. Seeing as making isk is still insanely easy. Also don't care if Drakes reach a 100m, not being a spaceships for dumbies pilot.
Dradius Calvantia Creative Cookie Procuring Veto Corp 256	Posted - 2012.04.20 00:27:00 - [9] - Quote I have been sticking to Faction and T2 hulls for months now.. so it really has not effected me at all. Actually, since I am making more $ since the market changes, and the price of my ships has not significantly gone up, I can pew pew more.
Celeritas 5k Connoisseurs of Candid Coitus 31	Posted - 2012.04.20 03:03:00 - [10] - Quote I imagine you'll see more t2 hulls now, since the price difference will be smaller. More HAC fleets, fewer BC fleets. Interestingly, wasn't the big complaint that BCs are OP for what you pay? Funny how that worked out, though I'm not sure if I'd credit CCP with that much cunning.
Abbadon21 Cosmic Cimmerians The G0dfathers 10	Posted - 2012.04.20 03:29:00 - [11] - Quote Not really... I can make ISK really easily, but honestly I'm usually to busy PVPing to care about it until I'm broke. Flying expensive ships doesn't excite me as much as something cheaper. For example I prefer a Wolf over a Hurricane and a Hurricane over Vaga. The cheaper the ship, the more fights you can afford and in most cases, the more fights you will get.

Mr Kobb Professional Losers 4	Posted - 2012.04.20 03:36:00 - [12] - Quote Lmao, a mega is like 150m now, some crazy ****.
Hidden Snake Inglorious-Basterds 99	Posted - 2012.04.20 05:01:00 - [13] - Quote Cheaper u fly .... more people wants to fight u in their shinnies. Better results will come. and yes faction ships are still not that much affected (and probably will not be) so i bought truckload of them.

Mutnin SQUIDS. 163	Posted - 2012.04.20 19:45:00 - [14] - Quote Not at all, aside from the fact that I'm more willing to fly some faction ships as the price differences are very little now when compared to a BC. I was worried about our guys not being able to afford to fly BC's, but when I asked they pretty much all said they are making enough ISK to replace them.
BolsterBomb Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse 36	Posted - 2012.04.20 19:53:00 - [15] - Quote Yes! I had this conversation with my corpies the other night. It doesnt matter if you have billions of isk stocked away. You proabbly dont care and buy some for inventory when the price does shy rocket. Just to give you an example a T2 fitted drake is costing about 80m. 80m out of a 1.5b wallet is a big chunk. You never know how quickly that drake will die or live. It may not even be your fault. You jump through into a blob, get tripple webbed and scrammed. GL GF bye bye isk. Even the AF are getting riduclous. 30m for a hull?!?!?! Dang AFs can cost between 50-60m a pop now. You can bet your butt I will be bringing more t1 cruiser hull fights out due to this isk problem. Heck I ran faction missions for the first time in about 3 months just to get some "free" hookbills Lt. Colonel of The Caldari State Traitor and Ex Luminaire General of The Gallente Federation
IbanezLaney The Church of Awesome 13	Posted - 2012.04.24 03:12:00 - [16] - Quote I've been flying cheapy t1 fit Merlins a lot more often. If the insurance scaled with market cost or CCP seeded a heap of minerals to 'reset' the market it would make life easier. The big upside is that Navy Scorps were cheap in comparison to a Tier3 battleship. A few weeks ago it was ROKHs for $220 mil or a Navy Scorpions for $265 mil. My prediction that navy scorps would get cheaper than rokhs did not come true, but it came close. Fix this **** See Sea Pea.
Vordak Kallager Autocannons Anonymous Late Night Alliance 223	Posted - 2012.04.24 05:08:00 - [17] - Quote As I am a King among the "disgusting impoverished space hobo" demographic, yes: I think I will downgrade my Taranis' to Atrons and my Abaddons to Mallers. Pretty much the same thing, right? *Sa souvraya niende misain ye.*
I Legionnaire The Tuskers 14	Posted - 2012.04.24 05:35:00 - [18] - Quote I decided to just stop undocking, period. It's the only way to be safe.

Schalac Apocalypse Reign 34	Posted - 2012.04.24 08:00:00 - [20] - Quote http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/Shaunessy/20120121163749.jpg I think I'll be okay for awhile. My biggest problem with PvP right now is the fact that I am on satalite internet so I don't get the jump on anyone, and most times when my ship gets popped I am podded before I even see my ship explode.
Darius Brinn Iberians Iberians. 9	Posted - 2012.04.24 09:17:00 - [21] - Quote I do try to fly cheap as possible, save for a few special toys. Sure as hell I'm not forking out 150m for a regular Megathron. Navy ones are still around 500m. Nor I'm paying 100m for a good old Domi. Yesterday near Ammar: 250m for a Sleipnir = Sleipnir not sold. I'll do with the contents of my hangars for now, for the most part. ISK might be easy to earn, yes. And no, I'm not a space hobo, but there IS a point where things become ridiculous, and 60m for a T2 fitted Ishkur is precisely that. If I had Chribba's wallet, I'd still not pay for it. It's not a matter of being able to afford it or not.

No, your biggest problem is that you live in Jita 4-4. *Sa souvraya niende misain ye.*
Kalli Brixzat 10	Posted - 2012.04.24 20:02:00 - [23] - Quote Nah. If you want to PvP, you'll just make due with what you can afford. Remember, the VAST majority of PvP in this game is performed with relatively cheap hulls (T1 frigates, destroyers and cruisers). Even a massive (50%) increase in the cost of said hulls will not create a major issue for most players.
BearJews Android Arms And Industrial Corporation Tenth Legion 33	Posted - 2012.04.24 20:28:00 - [24] - Quote I find it hard to fly my drake without getting pissed about paying 50mil for that hull now. So yes it has affected me, but i'm pretty sure the prices will go back down again.

Vyktor Abyss Shadows Of The Federation Drunk 'n' Disorderly 122	Posted - 2012.04.25 00:12:00 - [26] - Quote Good question Dean. I've consciously been avoiding buying a new capital because I remember them at near half the price. I guess if/when the same happens with T2 frigs/cruisers/bcs or whatever I might fly more T1 hulls for pew. Even the good old reliable solo-fit Domi has become less economical, but then again not flown one for ages. Perhaps price is why? Hmmm.... Wouldn't actually be bad for the game if more people were flying worse ships IMHO. For example when every frigate was a dramiel a short while back, frigate pvp got really boring there.
Elian Troller Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2012.04.25 02:37:00 - [27] - Quote Well, it kinda affects me as I am a new EVE player (2 months) As a gamer I always hated PVE and grind in any game. EVE is no exception, so my ISK income is very low. I can play this game 1-1,5 hours a day only and I want to get fun, explore the universe and learn pvp. I have a Harbinger for lvl 3 missions but I barely touch it. For explorations I got a Purifier. Have a few cheap fitted T1 frigates that I can lose. And 14mil in my pocket. So yeah, it does affect me.
Valkyrie D'ark Armed Resistance Movement 2	Posted - 2012.04.25 05:21:00 - [28] - Quote Somewhat. I never really flew tier 3 BS much, but was just starting to try out Apoc and Abaddon hulls. Their prices have put an abrupt stop to my "field tests"
Bugsy VanHalen Society of lost Souls 105	Posted - 2012.04.27 18:15:00 - [29] - Quote sYnc Vir wrote: Having looked at my hanger, ur no not really. Seeing as making isk is still insanely easy. Also don't care if Drakes reach a 100m, not being a spaceships for dumbies pilot. If you think Drakes are the only hulls going to skyrocket in price.. then maybe you should be reading EVE ship building for dumbies. Your hanger will be empty long before the prices come back down. All ships are made from the same minerals, although the price difference between T1 and T2 may get smaller. moon minerals have not gone up much yet, although they will when the increased costs of the ships needed to defend the moons becomes a problem. I give it two months before moon minerals skyrocket like the base minerals have.
Rath Kelbore The Six-Pack Syndicate EVE Animal Control 175	Posted - 2012.04.27 21:55:00 - [30] - Quote durp I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.
