Thread: 1million credits for a MarkIV engine?!?!
auction thread
267 credits per unit and on a big resource item too. Imagine a guild hall cost at 267 credits per unit.
Yea, actually I sold some "master" lvl engines with all the best resources, 119.4 TS and high 60's YP, with my +25 Experimentation tape for more then 1m on the same server, but I'm only marking it up 100% above what it would cost me to replace the resources. Same server
Fuss Bango (Chilastra)
P.S. but your right those engines arent worth that. But if you want the best, you have to be willing to pay for the resources.

The thing is, the stats on those engines are not that great. A shipwright I know on Ahazi routinely turns out engines with 110+ speed and 60+ PYR.
i don't think it's possible to hit 110+ on a mark IV. You're probably talking about mark V, which you can hit 118+ and then 63+ PYR (at least those are *my* low numbers--though i still don't think 110 is possible with a mark IV)

yea I dont get it there fuss
I mean top speed w/o YPR is only useful in a ship like a nova courier or yt1300 where too much YPR makes life hard for the gunners anyway and mass is near infinite so why do a mark4 when a mark5 has more bang. Otherwise I would gladly sacrifice speed for more YPR. I think he used the same steel in his overdriver that he did in his engine (that carbonite with the 1000 oq we just had). But the overdriver is still cond/oq for the top speed (that never got fixed to pure OQ when engine speed did back in nov/dec). Had he used a good JTL steel with high oq and cond he would have had more speed. As far as expensive resource it spawned for 12 days, if theres a shipwright out without a couple million of the stuff they were asleep at the switch
. His cost on the steel portion was .3 credits per unit. However, I definitely understand basing price on the street value of the resource not the production cost since otherwise it would be more profitable to just sell the resource. You'll notice I didnt say anything to the buyers, they were in such a hurry to spend it I didnt want to ruin their fun. You know what they say about a fool and his money.
Hmmm...
