Intrigued about LP rewards

Communications Center General Discussion

I prepared some questions to acquire insights about the current LP situation.

The format is question and my consideration about the question. Feel free to ignore the question and comment on my opinion, because … Idk, it’s what make you happy I guess.

1 - Do you guys like the removal of ships from the store?
I don’t, I would prefer them to be more expensive, but I never like content removal. I also don’t see the intended effect on the market. Like mission runners competing with professional indies?! Seems to me CCP just wanted to make mission running less desirable. It worked for me, I don’t want to play much, I don’t see any worth reward now.

2 - What’s the logic about BPCs price, the ship in the market is cheaper than the ISK price.
SS pending I’m not playing right now, but on more than one occasion I compared the BPC with the market price ship ready, one of the times it was a mim frig 10m ISK BPC + LP x 9.x m ship market price.

3 - I read somewhere that Sisters and Thukker are the ones to go for ISK, Sisters I get it, but why Thukker Mix?
I can only speculate they have some special implants looking at web page. But the market seems very aggressive, I don’t think LP is a nice ISK generator as it used to be. The margins are so low, and with trade tax you may ended with zero gain.

It’s because the FW lp stores are much cheaper than the highsec mission stores. Thukker and SOE are good because they contain things not available in FW.

  1. seems more like they want to make it actually worth buying and building the ships instead of just spawning them as a trade, consume some of the harvested minerals in order to create a thing
  2. Its because of the instant offers that exist, the price of the BPC will always be based on the cheapest way to obtain said ship, if i can get a complete hull for 50 mil and the BPC costs 30mil in LP and then an additional 50mil in materials i’m not going to bother with the BPC because its essentially worthless, also some of the ships drop as loot from faction spawns so those bypass the entire LP cost to begin with
  3. Thukker does cap batteries that are in fairly high demand
