After looking at some of the price history for structure rigs, it seems like reprocessing rigs have skyrocketed, a few months ago they were only ~60-100 million ISK.

What is the reason for them increasing to upwards of 400-500m? What has changed?

Why is drone salvage skyrocketing?

Bcs ECs are worth building in huge numbers and salvagers & explorers cannot cover demand for salvage materials. Also more Sotiyos are being deployed around New Eden which increases demand for those materials as well.

The short answer is supply and demand. Drone salvage is used to make excavator drones. There are a lot of Engineering Complexes being built.

As the prices go up, more people will be encouraged to salvage their missions/anomalies and a balance will be attained. I suspect that balance point will provide a decent incentive for salvagers.

Same thing happened last year when Citadels were introduced and PI prices shot up.

I don't think there is any shortage of the resource - just a shortage of people harvesting it and rising prices tend to cure that problem.

structure rigs take a lot of salvage to build and no one salvages anymore

mostly because of people like me who sit on huge amounts of salvage while watching the salvage prices go up and up and up :)

Its because you are caldari. Any race with brains will see, that once POS are removed, all manufactures, who uses them, will pay for RIGGED complexes or citadels...
