> [@Anderson\_Geten](#): > > The usual balance is the cost of the ships (plus your time). With this event, the cost of the ships has been reduced by a lot. Not for the big ships. And the Catalyst has always been cheap as chips. Just form up & off you ride. Who risks 1.8b ISK to do a site that might only pay 20m when a small fleet ( say 30m ) can kill them? And there-in lies the Newbro retention-rate issue, to my knowledge at least. You’d have to be mad. Which means once I have another Kronos I’ll be at it again, don’t get me wrong, but it feels very Rich Man’s candy. > [@Won't someone please think of the Krabs!](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/wont-someone-please-think-of-the-krabs/170723): > > I’m just gonna copy & paste this here. We’ve had 3 nerfs to Krabbing Hulls. The Rorq, the Carrier, and the VNI is coming too. It means more Plexing to keep up. So we are chasing people with money to spend at this stage. Those with wealth are our target audience. But the market doesn’t work that way. Not any more. We have a 4% retention rate for new players. 4%. And CCP knows that training time is an issue, which is why they have done this newbie pack. A player needs a subscription, and… And Rich Men are running low at present. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/tinker-tank-bhaalgorn-for-emerging-conduits/195940)._
