Foo Fighting Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 197	Posted - 2015.03.02 18:31:00 - [1] - Quote 198 components for an experimental weapon - that's 594 AUR if you were to buy the components. Compared to 45 or 50 AUR for prototype. Are they worth over 13 times the cost of proto?
Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 3063	Posted - 2015.03.02 18:33:00 - [2] - Quote If ony there was some way you could get them for free... Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~

Bright Steel Horizons' Edge VP Gaming Alliance 1005	Posted - 2015.03.02 18:36:00 - [5] - Quote Component price is balanced with warbarge progression and experimental weapon component cost is balanced on component production. Both are set to keep balance Their suppose to be rare Dust 514, the BEST WORST game you can't stop playing.
Tesfa Alem Death by Disassociation 883	Posted - 2015.03.02 18:36:00 - [6] - Quote If you leave the Component module at level zero you still get 1 free officer weapon a day...... CCP why you so unfair? Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.

Not sure I understand your reply - you can't. are you sure? No I was being hasty . But I don't think they should cost components to redeem - it should be isk because the factory can't really keep up.
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 3449	Posted - 2015.03.02 18:43:00 - [9] - Quote It can if you keep it properly upgraded, instead of blitzing the lab and leaving the factory alone. If you play just a few matches you'll even get the WB components via salvage to make up any potential short comings, and CCP ratatouille has mentioned several times that he prefers to reward playing the game over simply logging in. So I suggest you keep your Factory upgraded properly in relation to your Lab, and you play a few matches regularly if you want to earn experimental and potentially officer weapons/suits regularly. If it was isk related, you'd likely be complaining that the WB isk maker couldn't keep up "You see those red dots over there? Go and shoot them until you see a +50 on the screen" - Arkena Wyrnspire
bane sieg Eternal Beings 111	Posted - 2015.03.02 18:47:00 - [10] - Quote You're not paying 198 components for an experimental weapon, you're paying 198 components for a chance at officer weapons/ dropsuits. If it's not worth it to you then don't do it. Personally I think it's worth it because it's produced me all kinds of goodies.

Thor Odinson42 Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 6155	Posted - 2015.03.02 19:04:00 - [13] - Quote I had the same fears about having to spend AUR, but so far through mission rewards and salvage I haven't had a shortage of components.
Foo Fighting Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 197	Posted - 2015.03.02 19:17:00 - [14] - Quote My title was a little alarmist, granted, but my post was asking if people think they are worth 13x the value (albeit a theoretical one) of proto. The mustang comparison didn't really help me. I wasn't complaining. Nyan san can't buy thousands? I'm not worried about spending my money where I fancy. Judging by the responses most think they are worth the "asking price"....
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 3450	Posted - 2015.03.02 19:19:00 - [15] - Quote I do think they are worth the price, I've been lucky enough to get both experimental and officer rail rifles from it, and the Roden Sniper Rifle is hilariously priceless.

THUNDERGROOVE Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 1556	Posted - 2015.03.02 19:24:00 - [16] - Quote If you're spending Aurum for componants for the use of creating Experimental Weapons. Well, do I even have to say it? Our lives are nothing but a means to an end. AIV member. 21 day EVE trial.

Well, do I even have to say it? There are many people spending aurum upgrading their warbarges; some for sp, some for damage bonus, possibly some for isk and some for the lab output. However you cut it if you have spent money on the warbarge and you have experimental weapons then you have paid for said experimental weapons with real money. I was interested inthe perceived value of these things as compared to regular aur weapons.

Patt MaCrotch Capital Acquisitions LLC Bad Intention 86	Posted - 2015.03.02 21:29:00 - [21] - Quote The only gripe I have about the experimental stuff is that I am getting some items that are the same stats as proto. I.E. I have an experimental combat rifle right now that is the same stats as the Six Kin Assault CR. Why did I pay to get it from my experimental lab when I could get it from the market? More CCP shenanigans I assume.
Foo Fighting Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 197	Posted - 2015.03.02 22:01:00 - [22] - Quote Well maybe it's just me but the economics don't seem right - you would need a level 7 factory to support a level 3 lab (ignoring random drops from eom and boxes). Level 7 factory would produce 800 per day and the lab would cost 792, leaving 8 spare to build up other subsytems.

Sherlock ain't got nuttin' on me. Weeeeellll, while I agree the pretense of this thread is dumb, your analogy does come apart a bit as there is a random factor to it. It's kinda like paying the price hoping to get a Corvette, but you might get a 1992 Volkswagen Rabbit instead. They're both cars that can take you places fairly consistently, but there's a god chance for getting either one for the same price. O.G. Pink Fluffy Bunny
