Thanks for all the information you are constantly giving us players.
Be well. -Joseph
This is possible to do. CCP has been known to do well with tiericides in Eve Online. Each tier of the ships retains an ability that other tiers lack. Case in point: Exhumers.
Before Tieracide
Exhumers >Skiff - Mining yield bonus with bonus to Mercoxit mining and some cargo space. >>Mackinaw - Some more mining yield with bonus to Ice mining. Has more cargo space. >>>Hulk - Best mining Yield with bonus to yield. Has the best cargo space.
**Notice the arrows next to the ships indicating that you needed to train up the Skiff first before using the Mackinaw and you have to train up the Mackinaw before training the Hulk.
After Tieracide
Exhumers >Skiff - Bonus to Mercoxit mining but with excellent tanking and warping capabilities for low/null-sec operations. Now often being used as part of a gate-camping fleet due to their high targeting resolution and battleship-like tank against the gate guns. Also the best choice for ninja mining in dangerous areas of space.
>Mackinaw - Bonus to Ice mining now with excellent hauling space for ore (up to 35,000m3 of space) but suffers a loss in tanking capabilities due to the expanded cargo hold. The best choice for AFK miners.
>Hulk - Not much tank or cargo space, but does offer a tremendous bonus to mining yield making them the best choice for high-yield mining operations.
**Notice the arrows again signifying that you only need to train up Exhumers to level 1 to access all ships. Further training of this skill will then be used to enhance the ships affected.

What I don't really understand is why anyone would use a suit that is "equal" balance wise to everyone else's yet costs more than what a fit prototype suit currently costs. The lack of an advantage really wouldn't really be worth the cost especially without a passive source of income that is available to the average Dust player(Not the pile of **** that is PC) and even more so with the god awful payouts we've been dealing with the past month and a half. I love the idea of it and really would like to see it happen but the only way I could see it happen is if the T2 suits are in between price wise of ADV and PRO and keeping current module prices/weapon prices the same.
What we actually need is a stable industry to manufacture these items ourselves and set the prices ourselves.

It's just an idea on what tieracide looks like. It's not actual data to go by.

It could protect us if any agency(DUST or EVE) tries to corner a market. Hard to do though, the DUST market is large and should be fed by many different manufacturers.
Actually in Eve Online we do set the prices regardless of the mineral costs. And I mean that in the sense that we have the physical/technical capability to do so. Pretty much like that joke on why Cain killed Abel. Because he was Able.
Often times people try to set higher prices than normal which is often a tactic used by smart marketeers who run margin trade scams. How this specific scam works can be best described by this:

I'm not sure if this tactic is still being used today since the thread I linked dates back a few years. Can someone who is also an Eve player confirm this?
