Any plans to balance the drop rate of the mining foreman mindlink to bring it inline with the other warfare links? The price of it is approaching 800m now, with the rest of the mindlinks in the 70m-150m range. Just curious.

It's price is primarily driven up by demand. More carebears have use for the mining foreman mindlink then there are command ship pilots packing the other ones.

No it is driven up by lack of supply. CCP added more level 4 storylines which greatly reduced the chance of getting a mindlink via level 4 storylines which is the only way to get a mindlink at the moment. Add to that that the mining foreman is the most rare mindlink level 4 storyline reward makes the price crazy high. Before that change mining foreman mindlinks were maybe 100m.

Mindlinks should be added to an LP store in some fashion, just like all the other implants. Skirmish links and t3 boosting ships and mindlinks need a balance review themselves, but good luck getting CCP to do anything.

Balancing in this case means... give me 5000 of them?

Supply and demand are completely separate things and never inter-relate in EvE or real economies.

Just ask any miner whining about his income.
