Its the latest and not so greatest ship ... which means its shiny and new... and people are insane going nuts over it... Its not even close to the value or usability of the krenim ships... to be Honest... Baltim is best bang for the buck of the 3.... and id rather pull another polymorphic probe console then that garbage scow called the Vonph, in fact... id rather fly the malon....
So instead of getting a ship that brings you like a billion EC you'd rather want a somewhat decent console that only brings a few million on the market?

Yeah, that sounds reasonable....
You assume that I am one of the "price gougers" taking advantage of the gullibility of the average user... No I wouldn't want the ship to sell... I don't sell ships.. I use them.. and as a person who enjoys collecting various ships... This one is WAY low on my list of ships to acquire simply because A. Its not that great of a ship... B. The trait is sub-par... and C. Its not a limited time ship...
So with all those factors in place... Yes the console would be higher on my list of things to get out of the lockbox.
Your math doesn't explain why normal lockbox ships are so much cheaper then?
The math is just the half of it, a lot does come from the ship itself. Both the Vonph & the Annorax had quite the hype behind them and they also do pack quite a punch, especially the Annorax.
The Annorax I get, it's the best designed science ship I've seen in this game in years, and the trait is also good. The Vonph, well, the trait isn't a must have, but some people love spamming 20 abilites on all at the same time while pressing spacebar like madmen. The ship itself, not impressive to me. Now the new Defiant, that is a thing of beauty. I'll be hoarding dil all through the Mirror event so I can gather the Zen to buy it.
It's a capitalist economy which means supply and demand will overule anything including greed. An items value is the middle ground where the buyer and seller meet, neither gets screwed and both get what they want. T'is the beauty of a free market.
I'm tired of people claiming stupid things like greed just because you can't buy a lamborghini for a roll of quarters. That's not how the world works. Anyone who is spending this much currency or cash on an item is not an idiot and knows exactly what they are buying. Nobody is being greedy or getting screwed.
Only on a market which has price transparency, a polypolistic supply side and a polypsonistic demand side. All three are debatable here.
That doesn't automatically mean that these prices are in any way TRIBBLE one side over, but before we roll out Smith and Keynes and all this other stuff about invisible hands and market forces, some conditions have to be met. So these prices also do not mean that they are in any way fair or adequate.
My mother was an epohh and my father smelled of tulaberries
Nope! but its extremely rare, like 1/750 chance to win vs 1/250 for a normal lockbox ship and 1/100 for the promotional ships.
for 1/750 chance, my notification won't shut about other people getting it. Must have had 150 notifications
I've always wondered: do you get the notifications when somebody gets the ship box out of a lockbox, or do you get them when the ship box gets cracked open?

I was just lucky enough to open a lockbox and find one of these ships. Was debating keeping it, but hearing those prices it sure makes it hard to keep it now. I wondered why none were on the exchange. Now I know.

When it drops from the lockbox.
