Item prices can vary dramatically from system to system, but typically, higher meta level gear is more expensive, and the most widely used gear is less expensive (''because industrialists manufacture more of it''). [[Techs, Tiers and Meta levels|Meta levels]] vary from 1 to 10 and give a very rough estimate of the item's value in combat. | Item prices can vary dramatically from system to system, but typically, higher meta level gear is more expensive, and the most widely used gear is less expensive (''because industrialists manufacture more of it'').

{{ note box | '''Note on missile flight time''': Missiles only travel for whole seconds.<ref>See this [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=95249&p=810154 EUNI Forum post].</ref> If a missile's flight time is a fraction, the missile will travel the shorter maximum distance all the time and then will travel the additional distance part of time to account for the fraction. | |||
''For example, if a missile has a 10k m/s speed and a flight time of 6.3 seconds: it will first travel 60,000 meters ... and then, 30% of the time, it will go an additional 10,000 meters.'' | |||
From the game's point of view, this makes the math work out, but from a pilot's point of view, missiles can have a variable maximum range. Most of the time, this will not matter. But if you are fitting a ship for combat at extreme range, you will want to factor this into your analysis. | |||
