I'd like to see you stay financially solvent... currently if you win or lose you get (my average, yours may vary) 150,000 ISK. I
probably spend 100,000 on equipment alone, which leaves a net profit of 50,000 ISK. now lets say you earn 0 ISK if you lose.
that means that in ORDER TO BREAK EVEN, no profit what-so-ever, you have to win 50% of your matches. that doesn't sound too bad at first but think about it, lets say you win 3 out of 4 matches (75%, well over the necessary profit) that's 50,000 ISK profit. okay, 50,000 ISK profit for 4 matches work, each match lasts about 12 minutes so 4 matches take 48 minutes, that's 62500 ISK an hour. now lets say you want a tank, a nice one, that's around 1.6 mill at our current rate getting a nice tank will take 25.6 hours that is over one day.does that sound reasonable to you? this isn't COD, lets use our thinker box on occasion, please? |

tears, no; anger that they can't see what can be made obvious with 8th grade math, yes. I'm fine with a penalty for losing (say up to 30% ?). I openly advocate a bonus for winning (say 10-25%). |

I was following what he said until he got to, "you want a tank, a nice one.." SIGH I want my Phoenix to rain death down onto his nice tank, now.. A whole days work for godmode? That seems excessive.. Before you say it is more than one day, remember, not for everyone.. Some people have nothing better to do..
well i have good news and bad news the good news is dropships a realatively cheap in comparison to tanks (base unit no modules/turrets). it will only take from 3 and a half to 7 and a half hours. since you mentioned it going toe to toe with tanks though I'm gonna assume its pretty well decked out and bump the price up to 800,000 ISK at which point it will take 12.8 hours to earn one (at a 75% success rate mind you). if the number I chose is way off and you're curious shoot me the actual price and I'll give the time down to the minute.
