Hehe I think one of my competitors on Kett got a little over anxious is the only problem. Just the week before I bought out a Engine plus 12 for 10 mil and found a plus 7 for 2. Several Chassis plus 4 for only 1 mill.

It really depends on the server... I come from Valcyn where we had a +25 weap sys tape go for an insane 50M+ (dont remember the exact final bid).


I think our problem was that we had a few uber-rich crafters who wanted the tapes for their alts only to make parts for themselves and guildmates. Nothing wrong with that, just drives prices way up.


Id suggest you try and do what I did. Send out an email to all your customers and ask them if they'd sell you these tapes. A few of them helped me out, and I was able to collect my engine and weapon suits this way(gladly paying about 1-1.25M / pt).The best part was thatthe credits went to those who've supported me rather then some random person on the boards.

I'm lucky enough to have a guild that have helped to obtain nearly all experimentation suits for all crafting professions. we even have a +25 grenade experimentation suit as useless as that is.


We ended up with a ripper Shipwright Belt with +25 Weapons systems Exp, +25 Engine Systems Exp, +22 Artisan Exp (i cant remember if it was on this belt or the WS belt), and also a couple other cruddy useless stats.


I agree that all experimentation tapes are very expensive. I remember paying over 2million per point when i made up my first AS suit. (Which i've since replaced with 1 single belt)

I would never invest in Chassis Exp personally, with good resources you can always max out the mass anyway and just dump the rest in hp.
Weapons Exp rocks, max out your refire rate, then have enough to get the shield % up a bit.
Engine Exp is worth it too. Max out your Pitch/Yaw, then dump the rest in Top Speed. Why people always request P/Y/R maxed I'll never understand, who rolls anyway??

Chassis Tapes can be used to experiment on Ship Armor as well as chassis. It's great when you max out your armor and still have 3 points left over to lower the mass.

the corbantis server has formed a union to stop this cause this was happening on our server as well. The major shipwrights got togetehr and agreed upon a buying price and slowly but surely the prices have come back down to reality. Some might say this is monopolistic but given the fact that a few exploit the DJM and make hundreds of millions of these tapes which only leads us to raise our prices i disagree. We are providing a service that takes a lot of hard work and cash to contiune producing quality parts. When you add to the fact that we have to aquire 7 indivual types of tapes i think it is necessary, Just my two cents...and i strongly recommend that other servers follow suit

Shadowfire is nearing the insanity lvl. A +5 engine tape went for 10mil just last week. We have a smaller server so these tapes do not show up very often on the auction forums, maybe 1 or 2 a week, and currently we few SW's are bidding each other into the ground. I've been able to obtain +2 and +3's for a decent price, but currently there is a +12 up for a starting bid of 10mil with no buyout and only 500k bid incriments. We may pass into a total raving lunatic server shortly.

"Roll" helps increase the speed of a turn to get you lined up for a shot in many cases.. any time I have tried to use a ship with low "roll" I really get sick of it fast...

Working on trying to get tapes myself now.... seems loot drops were nerfed so there haven't been many on our auction forums lately. I was I think lucky to get two +5 Weapon System Experimentation for 500k and 750k. I posted a thread asking for tapes a few days ago and somebody just sent me a PM w/ a +10 Weapon Experimentationso I offered them 2 mil and they haven't responded.... guess they're looking for more Just depends on who is selling them!
