Please someone tell me that I'm seeing this wrong.
Are those Militia Vehicle Module BPOs that I'm seeing for30 AUR?
The freaking things cost 10-50k ISK each, and you're telling me you get to buy an infinite amount of them for 30 AUR?
Raise the price, or remove the BPOs.
Militia Shield Extender BPC: 450 ISK
Militia Shield Extender BPO: 20 AUR
Militia Heavy Shield Extender BPC: 55,920 ISK
Militia Heavy Shield Extender BPO: 30 AUR

you're joking, right?
For vehicles, no, in fact I'm not. Do you realize how much ISK those damn things cost per use? 30 AUR is NOT an adequate tradoff for infinite runs, what so ever. The major shield mods run around 35 and 55k a piece, while many of the others are 15-18k a piece. The conversions don't stack up at all here. |

Pay -ú1.50 for 4,000 AUR and buy all the BPO's you tight fisted kitten.
Tight fisted lol, good one. More like open palms.
Even if it was a freaking penny, the point remains that this is a HUGE advantage for the cost, there is nothing that even comes close when it comes to ISK. I've never caused a stink because I've never messed around with militia stuff, but now that I'm finally testing tanks I actually took a closer look and hot damn. A tank with AUR BPOs will run 100-200k cheaper than the same ISK variant, allowing the pilot to call in his (militia) HAV significantly more often than the ISK counterpart, especially considering they'll likely die, being militia fits.
I don't know, I was more or less curious if anyone else noticed. The disparity was just, really obvious >_< |

Aside from Thukker grenades, I've never had a problem with AUR, at all, even skill boosters that are made completely of sex. It's just this specific instance. Why are they so painfully cheap for AUR, if they're so expensive for ISK? Why isn't there some kind of scaling going on here for the cost? Why does a militia dropsuit module that costs 500 ISK a pop cost 30 AUR for a BPO, but a shield module that costs 55,000 ISK a pop, also costs 30 AUR for a BPO.
It just doesn't stack up. |

So long as people are aware, yes. I really need to start putting these in the feedback section, I just keep forgetting >_< |

Some scaling definatly needs done. 500 isk 30 aur, 55k isk 30 aur.. who cares its militia and there is better, it still needs to be scaled correctly. that 55k isk module should be more like 250 aur a pop if not more
Thank you for actually addressing the issue that I'm addressing >_< |
