Depends on how the "Invention" skill works out.
If can churn out more than enough Tech II's, then maybe wil help the prices to come down.
If too much work or cost too much to actually come up with the Tech II BPCs, then I guess prices will stay the same as now. =/
As for the ships prices, I think depends on the new ships' performances ba.
As for pwning things with missiles, I am still on it.
But I have my alt for that. My main is Gallente and having great ships that enhances drones' performance, why not capitalise on it.

Plus, I can go 2 ways for combat. Missile for solo (I guess) and drone ship for gang PvE support.
Coming to that, I think I will have to refit my Vexor with small guns now. =/ The medium rails can't seem to track good enough to hit the rats webbers. Even though they work quite well on the Feroxes in missions but Ravens can swallow them whole, chew 'em up and spit 'em out.
Shaff, any tips on being a support gangmate?
