I have a militia tank that is fitted with all militia gear and it costs me just under 100k.
I also have a basic proto heavy suit that with zero equipment costs over 100k.
Why is something so frail so expensive?
Tanks need to cost a lot more isk. Something should not provide you so much mobility, firepower and protection and be so cheap that its more disposable than a proto drop suit that doesn't offer nearly the same magnitude of benefits.
Its no wonder there is so much tank spam they are cheap as dirt. Even i use tanks a lot now and i have zero skills in them.

Keep the price, but make them less indestructible.
Not EASY to kill, just not nearly impossible. There's a difference, morons. |

The cost of an item is more based on tech level than size. Though I do agree, HAVs need to cost somewhat more. They shouldn't go back to the 200,000 ISK base price they were before, but they should have a base cost of at least 100,000 ISK. As for the Militia HAVs, those were always cheap. Around 150,000 ISK for a pre-fitted Sica or Soma.
What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage?
The pile of garbage is more lethal.

While price is not the way to balance combat,
tanks are still unnecessarily cheap.
i use them as lol transport and also get lots of cheap kills.
Tank spam getting onto your nerves?

1: Because it's considered a weak machine of it's class compared to the others (350k Maddy compared to 100k Soma), while the suit is the most powerful compared to the rest of the suits of it's class. Think Iphone 5s compared to a **** computer you can get at Walmart
2: MLT modules/turrets do need nerfing however.

My sica-75,000 isk
My gunlogi-450,000-550,000 isk
2 well built sica's ( militia everything modules) can take me out if I get double teamed, get into a cheap tank if uve got a problem with it, militia swarms shouldn't one shot any tank like they use to.
*poor map design warrants tank spamming if there were for example a skyscraper map with objectives in skyscrapers u would see dropship spam*

whats the cost of a MLT dropsuit with MLT gear? (not BPOs but hey i have some of those too.) 3k max? cost of MLT tank 70k ish.
that 23 times more expensive. is a MLT tank worth 23 MLT dropsuits, yea sure. proto isn't meant to be meant to worth it on a value stance so comparing proto suits to MLT tanks is the same as comparing a Lamborghini Veneno(4million) to a humvee (140k armored, 65k base) and saying that the lamborghini is better for the battle field because of its cost is so high that it must be good.

I was not talking about faction warefare. Just in the general market tanks are cheap cheaper than my proto suit with noting fitted to it.
So to me either seriously increase tank prices or give my heavy dropsuit similar stats. |

Here is the thing though. How many tanks does someone loose in a given battle?
Right now i can very easily loose 4 tanks in a battle before the battle is not profitable for me.
Most battles i will loose about 2 tanks when i use them.
