I would agree I think it's because people are getting out of their CNRs. More and more I hear missioners reply to mission threads with a non-CNR set up: Nighthawk, Golem, and Paladin being most prevalent.

Start investing in CNRs now. The price will be back to the 300mil range once the CNRs that are flooding the market get destroyed by ppl using them for pvp.
Who in their right mind uses a CNR for PvP?
..gank bait maybe but for just straight PvP?!?
Gank bait. hehe Interesting character name.
If any noobs buy the box expansion, I would expect a slight surge in CNR demand. CNRs are still good all around mission ships for those who can't fly a Golem and don't want to use tracking weapons. |

Except a Drake with HAMs is better in almost every way for newbie L1-L4 mission running. Cheaper and easier to get into, way cheaper to fit, comprable if not better damage, waaaay better tank, etc etc.
CNRs are for people who already have Caldari BS V, Cruise & Torp spec IV and good support skills. Until that point that ship is very lackluster for any level mission running. And the experienced mission runner target demographic already has all the CNRs they need. Not to mention many of them have already trained Amarr BS V and Large Pulse Spec IV. =)
Not arguing if a HAM drake is better, but from experience I had a heavy drake, and when I went to cruise missiles the time it took to pop a BS was cut more than in half. My skills aren't super high in mission stuff though. My skills are all spread out.
*edit* Not to mention the tankability. My CNR out-tanks my drake without a doubt. I like that, because it means I can look away from the monitor during a mission, hell even take a ****, without fear of popping. lol I've got a 450/650 tank on my CNR right now. The best drake tank fit I could get with my skills is like...450/450 I think. Maybe 500/500. |

Bunch of side-topic stuff hehe
Well I think I could get a lot more out of a drake if I did have better skills. I stopped training BC at III to go after BS. I also stopped training heavy missiles at III to work on battleship level weapon skills (in this case BS guns for a Rokh set up). I ghost trained BS V last time I stopped playing EVE. I do fit a meta 4 painter. I do/did not have meta 4 launchers on all my drake slots mainly because they were 14m a piece while the ship itself is 33m? At the time I was running Lv 3s with mediocre skills and half a T2 tank, so I couldn't afford gear very well.
For newbs, it's still my opinion a CNR will be better for them than a drake or T2 ship right out of the gate, mainly due to skills and for the case of a nighthawk, ISK. I think they'll probably go for a Raven first though, due to lack of ISK. Lv 3s are not all that lucrative for low-skill pilots in comparison to lv 4s.
I'm not too convinced the box will draw in a noticeable amount of noobs, but if it does, I would expect the CNR to get back to <= 300m, mainly because the CNR is the most noob-friendly mission ship for Lv 4s, besides the standard Raven. |
