I wouldn't be surprised if they got hit harder in the future. Mineral prices nuked hard after they got introduced and it's likely going to get worse given that it takes a year and a half to skill into one and it actually makes sense to skill into them now.



Which would be a shame as null sec finally has an effective means to end its reliance on high sec ores. I don't agree with the logic that a drop in high sec mineral prices must mean a nerf to low or null sec mining just so that high sec miners can retain their income. In fact I would think that CCP would want the opposite to happen, forcing high sec industry out to null.


Oversupply affects everyone. If there is a massive oversupply the high end minerals will come down as well reducing the income per pilot. In eve the cost of almost everything is based on how many people are doing it /how much each produce and the demand.

Anotehr example is K space Data and relic drops. Back before the scanning changes an intact Armor plate was 30mil and some decryptors where worth around 10mil. About a month after the changes salvage and decryptors had tanked to about 1/10th of their original cost. Null sec sites were still better than HS but everyone lost out.

I don't care about mineral prices or oversupply. I'm referring to the fact that if you wants to build a capital or supercapital it was simpler, cheaper and quicker to just jump masses of railguns/compressed ore out of Jita and into null. Now the Rorq can mine those minerals pretty effectively and efficiently. That is what was needed to make null sec mining and industry really viable. If mineral prices go down as a consequence then that's fine by me also.
