I gotta admit i just dont have time to work this out but since its in the public domain anyway:

if i have correctly interpreted the situation PI goods are all going to rise by a significant amount, with a corresponding rise in fuel costs. Please jump in a correct me if this is wrong.

Does anyone involved in both invention and PI have an idea how this will effect the bottom line for the t2 goods they produce, and as a knock on the cost of buying t2 product?

are we looking at a minor blip? Doubling of prices?

Probably a minor blip, although PI impacts a lot (POS Fuel and POS Prices, not to mention the few T2 components from PI), there are many other factors in the cost of T2 ships/modules that are not affected by PI.

Minor blip - while the PI-sourced POS fuels are up, Isotopes are currently down (and may be headed for 350 ISK/u territory again). So basically, I figure on 400-450M per month to run a large tower, which isn't all that different then the past few months. And you could always harvest some of your own POS fuel via PI to help soften that impact - run one week cycles on the extractors, haul about once a month.

PI components in T2 module / drone manufacturing - aren't all that much, so even if they go up 30-40%, it only drives the price of the T2 item up slightly (anywhere from 5% to 25%). But it really depends on the modules. Some T2 modules are heavily influenced by the price of the underlying T1 item, others are more influenced by the price of minerals, moon goo items, or stuff from PI.

If you're making any T2 item with less then 10% margins, then yes, you need to worry a bit. But if your margins are in the 20-40% range, you're in safe territory. Just pay attention.
