Anyways, a low-end capital mining ship is a good idea as at the moment there is no incentive to mine low-ends in 0.0 over highsec, and there really should be.

Well if gun-mining really did have that much impact, then why didn't it affect the mineral costs much? Is it because highsec wasn't strongly affected by gun-mining?

Large scale market speculation already sent the price of mins shooting upward since the change was known months beforehand, and was preceded by Sreegs' massive bot purge (which set off mineral hoarding itself). For a while morphite was worth 16k a unit, after all.

That makes sense, actually. It explains why the other minor updates APPEARED to have such a big impact on minerals. It was really that!

So all high sec ores doubling in price from this time last year is not being affected?

It may seem the market went relatively unaffected, but that is only because most of the increase was seen well before brought on by well informed market speculation. The actual update only solidified that speculative price. And prices are still far from stable.

If the removal of drone alloys and meta 1 loot drops truly had no effect on mineral prices than trit would have dropped back down to 3.3 isk/unit by now not be over 6 isk/unit and still climbing. The average price of pretty much all minerals has at least doubled since this time last year. Mining is still the lowest income activity, as it should be, but is now much closer to missioning and ratting than it was a year ago.

I would say mission accomplished.

That was described to me right below the post you quoted.

I agree. Mission accomplished.
