Science & Industry

Null secers will still have to import low ends to build capitals and supers. The supply will not be near large enough for that. But it may be enough to sustain the few null sec industrialists that will be building the subcap ships. You should not have to import constructed battleships, but they can be built locally.

Currently there is a significant null sec industry. There are many players that already mine out in null. Where do you think the supply of high end minerals comes from. The number is just very small when compared to high sec. This buff to null sec industry will make the current null sec industrialist path much more rewarding, and make it easier for those who want to move to null, but did not as they can make more isk staying in high sec.

I do believe that moving the hidden belts from grav sites that need to be scanned down with probes, to anomalies that can be found with on board ship scanners was a huge mistake. The safety offered by the hidden belts was due to potential attackers having to scan you down before they can attack. This required them to gimp there fit by dedicating one of there high slots to a probe launcher. Very few roaming PVPers do this, making null sec grav sites fairly safe to mine in.

You never see a miner in a static belt in null sec, not just because the static belts generally do not have A,B,C, ores but because it is not safe enough to mine them. Now the hidden belts are almost as insecure as the static belts. This will hurt null sec mining far more than any benefit gained by the ore composition buffs.
