Took this directly from my Eve Online client.
For the record, a Ragnarok can field 7-8 of these. On each side of the ship.
Before you go and do the math on it, it's rounds are about 12 feet across.
Enjoy sleeping at night. Not to be too much of a downer, but it looks like Destroyers are going to be the first stage of strike capability, given what they said about this Winter's scheduled rebalance.
Read earlier that sisi has been flooded with desty's on the market so this would tie in. Read ages ago that they were concidering this to help give destroyers a role, and so as not to cost new users out of the whole orbital strike thing. Plus when u think about it, who's gonna wanna be pay'd for an OS by dust players who make like 400k a match. Not people with bs's or tech 2 stuff anyway. running missions or npc hunting is much more profitable. Good npc spawns can give 10,000,000 isk for like 5 mins work. But people with destroyers would expect more like 50k from a mission than 50m. Those are prices WE can pay |

Inflation is looking like 10x for all the tanks I've been trying out, and I can't imagine paying for an orbital strike. But if EVE players can make 10s of millions then that makes buying a gun in packs of 100 possible. I was wondering how they could afford us.
Been a while since Iv been in eve. But, the cost of the standard tier 1 BS used to be about 70m. Its a players market though so prices change up and down, but it will float around there generally. The BS is the workhorse but mainly people use the tier 3 ones which are ish 150m. Tech 2 or marauders and black ops are significantly more.
That said though. Remember that our kit lasts a few minutes. Iv had insurance run out on ships before in eve (insurance lasted so many months and paid out so much if you lost your ship) and bare in mind I played that religiously! |

The dark cloud wrote:would like to see if they implement a sponsoring system. Like you put up a little corp and the eve player will sponsor you with better equipment. Cause at the moment i use mainly militia-standard stuff. Well the merc pack scout suit and the raven assault suit (last 1 costs 1200 AUR and is a blueprint aswell) did a good job assisting me to maintain a decent income.
They will be sponsoring you in a way. They give you a contract, you complete it, they pay you, you buy more expensive stuff |

Price for a baddon has been near 250mil for quite some time now and same goes for other batteleships, well for anything since they nerfed the drone regions along with "gun mining" and kicked the botters out, some alliances lost 100's of billions in assets gained from botting over night.  Hence mineral prices are now near "the price you pay to be equal with lvl 4 mission bounties" in other words we have inflation in EvE.
Nasty that's like 40% inflation per year since I last played. Guess that's not helped by burn jita and similar events |
