Why are tanks roughly 100k ISK while dropships are over 300k ISK? Doesn't seem right at all???

To think that a Tank hull cost just as much as a proto (prof 1) weapon (roughly 70k?). But has the staying power to wipe out an entire team and costs as much as a proto weapon?! Seems a bit off. Someone explain the logic to me, please. It's not obvious and I admit my intuition here is lacking.

Surely a TANK costs more to manufacture than a gun... SURELY this is the case...

Well, tanks don't really have "staying" power, but "GOTTA GO FAST and heal-up" power.

Surely a TANK costs more to manufacture than a gun... SURELY this is the case... And to add on top of this all, the proto turret costs 3 times more than the actual vehicle hull! How does this make any sense!?

He's using real world examples... Release the hound!

As tanks are now , they need to cost at least 5+ mill ISK in order for them to be balanced with their preformance.

just saying...

:3

I didn't mean to be "real-world" centric here. What I meant is that it should cost MORE simply due to resources to make the two. One requires 2 tons of raw materials (metals) to put together. The other requires 5 pounds of raw materials to make. One must cost more than the other by simple deduction of raw material costs.

Now that I think about it there are some t2 turrets in eve that cost 10x's more than some ships... I'll just deal with it.
