Prices down about 10-15% and seem to be stablized. Anyone know what caused the drop? Caldari ice from 230-240k to 200-210k

CODE must be getting lazy.

May the market bless you and keep you;

May the market make its opportunities shine upon you and be profitable to you;

May the market lift up its margins upon you and grant you ISK.

As miner I would guess the addition of Ice Mining Drones and higher efficiency on handling ice generates more ice blocks per mining fleet in the same timespan since you have fewer waste cycles due to less management on turrets. When mining ice you now just have 2 turrets to monitor on your ship instead of 3, plus you now have an ice mining drone.

It's not supressed by increased supply (at least not in empire), it's definitely soft demand.

I have all the ice belts in Osmon and Wuos essentially to myself, I can mine 24x7 where previously the belts would get mined out in under an hour. Instead of 20 barges I see just myself most of the time.

Which means null is far more self sufficient in ice products, very little call to haul it in from Jita if you can now source enough of the stuff local. No big deal, I really should be mining plagio instead.
