So I have been getting into PI and I noticed that in the last little while that Condensates have dropped to almost no activity.

Am I right when I check the market that no one is buying this P3 material? Or am I blind and missing something?

Is there any use for this P3 material at all?

This is needed to make the new Custom Office gantries. Demand should be booming.

The important thing to keep in mind about P3 materials is that, with only a couple exceptions, they only have one use and that is to make their corresponding P4 material. Robotics and Guidance Systems are the only two exceptions that leap to mind. Robotics as POS fueld and both as T2 manufacturing materials.

P2's are really the last step at which you still retain a lot of flexibility as to what it will be used as. Therefore a lot of folks building Organic Mortar Applicators (what you make out of condensates) are buying P2 materials to build them, not so much the P3 condensates.

Condensates require materials from at least two different planets, so you are much less likely to have people export them rather than just going all the way to P4 and possibly on to finished product where the real money is at.

Well I am surprised as Condensates have a high price for the relative low buy and sell orders.

You can make them pretty easy (in high sec) but I am still curious why so many people are not taking advantage of the fact they can make more.
