It's all about the demand when the market comes around

I'm hoping that heavies are super OP when the market does come around because I have 40 of both Gastun's. People will charge up the yin yang for Balac's although they are relatively common, their demand will be high enough that the price will surpass what quantity will demand.

Thale's same thing, Cala's and Wolfman's may go for lower prices but those are sidearms so of course they would.

No one, people seem to think they cost more than they really will.

The people that might get rich are people who can play the market correctly.

Officer weapons aside, the market is going to be topsy turvy for a while. Depending on if we see a Dust market, or a full New Eden Market (with all the sudden influx of Isk from Eve players) things will beGǪinteresting.

Officer class won't be that hot a commodity, but I know snipers would spend any amount to flesh out their collection of ThalesGǪ

Do this.

Hold onto them.

Why? When the market opens, people will buy them and use them.

Since they can be bought, people will just use them, and no longer care about the consequences. They were bought cheap due to large supply.

What happens in a month when all we had was sold and used? Supply drops. Demand increases.

Payday.

All dust players that came from eve know how the market works, tho only diferance in eve is you can make killer profits by moving items to covenient locations where people will buy them at high prices to save time.

The best corse of action is to horde a weapon in need of changes, because CCP has a tendency to overbuff things (Rail vultures beat rail megas projecting and applying dps now apparently) so when it does get fixed it'll probably be fotm.

As for getting rich via normal means, I guess that more popular weapons would have a higher demand for officer weapons.

That is what I am planning to do with the sidearms so yes.
I will dry up the Officer Sidearm well so badly that even the scarcity of users will not prevent me from charging high.

The thing I do not understand is how the P2P market will correlate with Eve. Eve players have to make jumps and long distance trips to sell items. The immediate problem of moving items around space in Dust is that it presents a level of unfairness compared to eve players where they need to take risk moving their product and eventually Dust players will have hold of Eve items. Combined with corp hangers I do not see how a player market could be implemented so easily.

Alternatively that can expand on an already-existing system in Eve Online to move Dust-owned gear. Two systems actually.

First System: NPC Transport Ships
You see this little transports everywhere in New Eden especially in high-sec space. They are often loaded with loot that you can salvage assuming you know how to attack them without drawing the attention of the station guns (which is possible by the way). CCP can implement stronger NPC transport ships whenever a Dust players uses them to move from station to station.

The current drawback with this idea is that currently the NPC transports that go from station to station are restricted to movement inside a single star system only. CCP could implement special NPC transports that can ferry Dust-related gear from system to system while still facing the risk of getting suicide ganked by Eve players along the way. This can be used a temporary (but cheap) measure until the second system is expanded upon.

Second System: Courier Contracts
Currently Eve Online players often provide courier services via contracts that are setup either publicly or privately. While ferrying the goods, the goods are locked up by the issuer of the courier contract in a special container that can't be scanned or opened in the event that the courier either loses his ship carrying the goods to gankers or decides to try to steal the goods for himself.

At the same time, the carrier must give up collateral (be it in ISK or an asset) that can only be held by the issuer of the contract temporarily but put into limbo to prevent the issuer from selling the collateral in the meantime until the contract has been fulfilled. If the contract has been fulfilled, the collateral is automatically taken out of limbo and given back to the courier. If the contract has not been fulfilled in the allotted time, the contract closes, collateral is taken out of the limbo and given to the issuer instead as compensation for the loss of the goods and the courier is left with a useless container he can't access and nobody wants.

The Courier Contracts would be much more expensive as they are driven by market forces and player greed, but the system is much more secure and has a much higher guarantee of the goods reaching their destination.

Translation: you're all assuming Officer weapons shall be available on P2P market. And if CCP decided differently?
