I salvage quite a bit of T2 player wrecks. I keep getting T2 salvage that used to be worthless but now has risen in value, but I don't seem to be getting the old desirableT2 salvage (intact armor plates).

So from where exactly is the influx of IAPs coming for it to have crashed the price?

Hulks are carrying alot of the subset T2 salvage.
Certain T2 is very racial specific, the rest favor certain races but has a chance to drop from any ship. What we are seeing spike are the racial specific T2 salvages and what we see falling are the ones that get equal percentages in all ships.

Intact Armor Plates used to be pretty specific to Amarr the same for Cap consoles. Once the easy prey mining proff has been gutted, the prices will go back up as it's alot harder to kill a Guardian or Pilgrim than it is to kill a macki or a Hulk.

Interceptors often drop 1 intact armor plate

And if you want to try and farm T2 salvage, use the Interceptor to do it. They are all priced based on a BPO materials list, not a 50% waste factor -4 copy. With 6 hr manufacturing times I imagine anyone with a BPO is using it to make salvage, not ships just because there is far more demand for T2 salvage than thousands of interceptors.

- Add mag sites to the list of T2 salvage as well. Null sec mag sites might actually drop T2 and in large stacks.
