What caused price of Orca to double in a year? Started going up last September.

orca is a nice ship i expected it to slowly inch up but then the industry changes were announced and before they even happened people got paranoid and started selling mats for more so orca went up. then the changes happened and it went up even more.

I see thanks, that makes sense. But the prices of other ships didn’t double like the Orca. =(

Industry changes plus a meta change to botting. CCP is making nullsec annom & belt mining more difficult for bots.

Botting in highsec although not as profitable is now much more predictable (slow & steady wins the day), the best ship for highsec botting is the Orca hence the demand has gone up.
