jump in a mining ship and get too it!

its just market speculation atm... prices will go down but end up being 20% more then they should be due to bottleneck.

About 5% of the Eve Population knows the game even has forums. About 2% of them bother to read them or the dev blogs.

The OP is obviously not in the second group. I'd do a Venn Diagram, but frankly I can't be bothered.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

All of the above by the looks of things.


@Op - try reading the entire Dev post after you read ICE.

I will admit.

I must thank all of you who bought my Caldari and Minmatar fuel blocks at stupidly high prices. My account is almost plexed into 2016 please continue to buy. I would love to have a free account all the way to EvEs 20th birthday.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

don't expect it to get much better, so time to get some activity to get come more income to cover the costs, although prices always go batty before expansions but this one is unique in that it affects not only ice but lowends, and ships.

If it's any consolation, I am making hand over fist mining ice right now. My wallet is flashing with glee.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

No. I dont wanna mine! I have trained months to fly T3 ships and you think im going to stare at the screen for hours like a noob.

Srsz. **** I just read the dev blog and it looks like I just have to tear down my POS next month.

tl:dr

OP doesn't want to mine ice, or buy it.
complains about having to take down a pos because he doesn't want to fuel it.

i couldn't have less sympathy if i tried.

Panic buying and hoarding. Blame your fellow capsuleers.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I actually thought that Ice was on the low side in my region, was down to 95k a unit a few weeks ago, only upto 150k a unit atm, its still WAY too low for my liking :)

I've been ganked whilst mining.
Of course, last time was just pure bad luck - I almost never mine, and when I do, I'm at the keyboard. Wasn't really on top of my game, but I'd initiated warp already when the volleys arrived. Just an issue of being misalligned. Roll

But even considering my bad luck, that was still one of two times in four years. I also almost never see gankers any more. Of course, I also don't like to mine... Blink

I've seen buy orders at 180 and sell orders at 230K - last night. Haven't checked prices this AM.
