I'm selling a +8 WSE tape on my server boards and strangely enough vary little intrest is shown in it, I have one bid so far...
So I'm wonder, just what tapes are SW's looking for these days?
I started the bid at 2M (250k per point), followed by a 100k bid increase. I thought that was more then fair.
Am i wrong?

How many high-end shipwrights do you have in your galaxy? The prices of these things has dropped dramatically on Valcyn, and I think will become dirt cheap as soon as all the main SWs have their suits done. Most already have.

Yep, that's how it is on our server. We got flooded with tapes, they peaked at about 1 mil per point, now we are down to about 200k a point, if you can sell it. Chasis are not selling at all. Only thing you can move is engine and weapon tapes.

Same on Wanderhome. Pretty much every shipwright is probably already maxed out on experimentation.

I wish it was that way on Shadowfire. I just paid 13 million for a +11 tape.

That was for a weapon tape. I paid 1 mil for a +4 engine and 1 mil for a +3 weapon tape just last week. You just have to find the bargins. A +11 tape will automatically give you +1 in experimenting, with just one piece of clothing. I will need to make a suit for engines, a suit for weapons, and a suit for chasis prob....

Assuming they don't mess with the loot drops for bounties, I expect to see most CAs and AAs dropping in price as, at least on my server, the market is getting flooded with mid- to high-level SEAs. Ones that were going for 1-2 million a week ago are going for about 150k now if they sell at all.

What level does the attachment total max out at? I think I heard that after you have a total of 25 points that's it. Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

Correct but you only need 20 to get the two extra experimentation points.

Don't forget reactors... I'm not sure if we need an overhaul, just add boosters to the engine tape, shields to the weapons tape, and either create a fourth tape or add caps, DIs, and reactors to the chassis tape.

Prices for SW experimentation tapes seem to vary widely from server-to-server. My advice to you is to search the trade forums for the appropriate server, determine what the recent selling price is for the tape, divide by the number of points on the tape, and post an auction for you tape, setting the price according to the current trends. This simple process can be applied to almost any item you think is valuable and want to auction off.
