I cannot wait to see the look on all the currently smug traders/miners that sell will their stockpiles over the next month, only to find out that the interdiction is permanent and Nitrogen Isotopes are on their way to becoming the new technetium.

I would love to know if that 80% number thrown around was for total consumption or balanced for each race's consumption. Cause the number of belts did not change (other than amarr) to reflect each race's respective consumption amounts pre-expansion.

Reduce the number of times a belt is flipped in a day for long enough and effectively the supply can be controlled from the mining done in low and null.

Fozzie's tiny handcuff on the ice market is perfectly ok so long as no organized group of players affects the supply...Shocked

Caldari towers : CHECK 3 large ones
Caldari capitals : CHECK chimera
Stock year in advance:crap only 9 months of fuel left

Sucker. P
Ok, you get a pass because 9 months will still cover the bump, but you'd better buy some once it goes back to normal or that “sucker” sign will come crashing down…

Oi, Goons. Interdict Amarr ice.

No one uses caldari towers/caps. Drive prices up for something people use.



Love and kisses,
Hiyora Akachi.


why drive prices up for other people when they are sitting on the biggest source of caldari ice in the game?
Seriously?

When they have the biggest pile of it and drive up the price,
they do it for themselves too,
making their stockpile more worth and thus
can make huge profits by selling it again at inflated prices,
which means they crash the market and everybody else has to suffer a loss.

Understood?


Edit:please note that i was just responding to your specific question.

Edit2: Actually sometimes i'm confused about all the things they could do to highsec,
but don't. I knew i would, if i could.


i think you misread it sol... they live in caldari space (so, caldari ice) not amarr (as far as i'm aware).

I want you to think real hard about what you just said...


i just said it'd make more sense for them to increase the price of ice they have an ample supply of, rather than ice they don't have an ample supply of.

why am i meant to be thinking hard about that?

The 80% figure assumed 1)all being mined, and 2) consumption levels staying the same.

1) is definitely not happening,
2) maybe, maybe not. The war may have caused an increase in null consumption.

Either way, null has plenty of ice to supply both its, and highsec needs.

Fluffy Bunny Pic!

Thin margin moon reactants have already moved nicely Big smile It will be interesting to see how the T2 market moves over the next few months.

Will higher T2 ship prices compared to a deflating mineral market keep the large fleet meta in T1 hulls, even after the rebalance changes? Will reaction farms switch to another race of tower and remain competitive (or am I flat wrong in thinking caldari is the way to go with reaction towers)? Will a rise in Caldari Ice price "raise all boats" in a sense making all ice forms more expensive due to more risk adversion? However much of this speculation event is just ice changing hangers and just being stored away?

Ids habbeniiiing :DDDD

Wait, the goons have insider knowledge that Black Ops are getting fixed?



They got fixed. Do you see anyone complaining about blops any more? The forum whining about their limited jump range was practically ambient noise. Then their jump range got buffed, now no more complaints. So obviously blops are now OP.

Black Ops -> Blops. It is just one post before the one you quoted.

I don't care either way, but this is indeed a silly assertion.

The maximum attention span for things like this is 90 days max.

Besides, they will be so bored waiting out the 4 hour gap in Ice spawns which will be timed differently in every single system involved, I'm almost willing to bet some ISK this lasts only a few days.

It would be foolish for any organization in EVE that has the ability to cartel any item to not do it. OTEC lasted for more than 90 days.
