Jita was the market hub even before they got rid of the highway stargates between the regions. I think people are so used to the "mall" of Jita that there's no chance it'll go away, unless it magically became a lowsec system (like Yulai????)

If in the future CCP wanted to turn Jita into a low sec system they could, at which point a new centralized hub would form.

Either way I don't believe any of the trade hubs will vanish or suffer any less trade. As stated many many times most of the Zydrine and Megacyte comes from the random High Sec grav sites, and reprocessed modules. The small amount that currently comes from ABC ore is usually from W-space dewellers that off load it for a quick buck when they don't need to use it in their WH.

Don't get me wrong there are Null sec and Low sec industrial corps, ones that mine even. Some that mine just like people mine in high sec because they are in a quiet part In the middle of no where, where no one bothers them "ever", or they have constant combat escorts etc. etc.

With the new ore though you will see a drop in high sec mineral prices will which force high sec ores to drop however I don't believe they will drop more then 15%. At which point it will trickle into ships and maybe ammo. T1 modules won't change much.

Jita = EVE Auction House lol

The difference is the Alliance world will convert this patch into a community in null sec. The system will be a hub but only the valuable stuff will be traded not common stuff. If you can make it in null why travel that uses ICE to Jita.

Because, whether they are alts of null people or not, a large chunk of players hang out in highsec, and all new players start in highsec, and these players use stuff.

If anything, it would be the other way round...why move expensive stuff (which comes from null) to empire when you can trade it down there.

Jita is already a wholesale dumping ground, I expect little will change, any more than the mission changes affected which were the secondary hubs.

Fluffy Bunny Pic!

I'd love to see dynamic system security that responds to events in system (missioning, ganks etc). But of course the trade hubs would move in response. Can you imagine Jita undock in low sec? It would be hilarious.

Zappity's Adventures for a taste of lowsec and nullsec.
