The markets will stabilise themselves.


Probably not until a few weeks after Hulkagedon finishes

It looks like Tritanium prices are leveling out. Hulkaggedon has never had much impact before.


They might level off, but they wont go DOWN until a lot more people go out and mine. Hulkaggedon is a bad time for people to start a mining career.

Ammo should not be affected at all and should drop at the same frequency it currently does. CCP stated it will be T0 modules, and Ammo isn't a module ;)

I seriously doubt that low end minerals will stay at this level for long.

- moving low end minerals from 0.0 to empire takes a lot of JFs or freighters
- hulkageddon has to my knowledge never really managed to change the low end mineral prices
- most mission runners dont bother to salvage or loot the wrecks anyway as they chase loyalty points and isk
- I believe that the amount of minerals coming from mission loot is a small portion of the total amount of low end minerals. CCP nerfed the loot drops in 0.0 some time ago and that didn't really change mineral prices a bit.
- a lot of people have mining chars made for semi-afk mining that hasn't been out of the station in ages (myself included)
- there are probably quite some mineral stacks in empire (I know I have a couple of 100M tritanium)

The thing that I believe actually may cause the price to stay high is the bannings of mining bots. We've all seen them and know they're in game. I just hope CCP finally removes them.

High end minerals may, on the other hand, rise as they're much easier to transport back to high-sec and from what I've managed to find out from devblogs and forums the drone drops are a quite large part of the empire supply.
