Militia tanks base price raised to 125,000 ISK

Standard tanks base price raised to 100,000 ISK

otherwise nope, im not playing 2+ matches to get my role, otherwise increase infantry proto prices by 3x

Whine much bro? I flew dropships for MONTHS that cost more than a tank with top modules at that base price would cost now.

Get good and you won't have ISK problems.

i flew assault dropships that were 800k, short story short i never profited, well maybe once, but people with tanks as a main & only role are what, supposed to use starter fits without skills against proto? hell no, the only tanks that get spammed are MLT, i rarely see std.
also the assault dropship hull is still to expensive and unprofitable as soon as a railgun comes along for a python, because usually when i pull it out i get railgun spam

My assault dropship works great, and is more than cheap enough. A well fit tank costs less now than a well fit assault dropship.

That should basically never happen. 750K for a well fit tank is a good price. I would pay up to about 600k for a well fit assault dropship, and an all militia tank should never be less than 150k. Most actual good tankers I know go 5-6 matches minimum without losing a tank, unless it's to some random **** that they can't control, which happens a lot less to tankers than it does to dropships.

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 2252	Posted - 2013.12.19 02:01:00 - [4] - Quote Not Quite While I do believe that the current prices are waaay to low, the vehicle prices back then for a really good tank were expensive when you wanted the super good modules on. The old vehicle prices catered only to the rich and the ones with a spot in Farmville (I mean.. umm.. Molden Heath). Because of said prices, vehicles weren't profitable and led to dropship pilots everywhere becoming poor and asking for ISK. Holy Fudgenipples!!! MY HMG WORKS!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!! \o/

Tankers no longer have to be in a well paying corp just to make money. Honestly the only thing that needs to change is the speed (Bas speed, not speed with the mods) and the Railgun Turret damage. I was squadded with a tanker and he lost a tank with Proto turrets to a Sica with a Militia Railgun turret When I'm depressed, I cut myself......A BIG SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE! nú+

Somewhere between the two might be nice. Say, about 1 mil for a well fit STD tank. Far less than before, but still not to the point of throwing them around like nothing with no repercussions.

I was squadded with a tanker and he lost a tank with Proto turrets to a Sica with a Militia Railgun turret That would be me my proto missiles could not put DPS a militia rail if fitted properly they do about 2,000 damage a shot and you can get 5 off before over heat it took me one volley to break through his shields and by the time my long ass reload finished I was dead. I understand missiles do less against shields but so do rails this was more of a once in the blue moon scenario I usually kill them very quickly I keep forgetting to come in an AV suit so that I can finish people off because of my 8 seconds of vulnerability. At proto type rails do 3500 a shot. I think in the games we were in the only things I died by were rails OB's and I think one other tank I always have the worst of luck I will be 3 seconds away from a finished cool down and then a tank will turn the corner and **** me up because my hardeners were inactive, I haven't fully mastered tanks like I had in 1.6 yet but I am no scrub either. Tanker/Logi Tanks almost fixed.
