I'm tired and I'm probably missing something, but, exactly, how does this help T1 manufacturing?
Now, if you eliminate loot drops completely.....
All T2 production requires a T2 version input. Often T2 producers buy those mods cheaply from the market and avoid wasting a manufacturing slot in the process.
This is a game changer.

These two posts from master-blogger Jester have some great insight into these changes. I agree with him and they cover some questions discussed in this thread:-

Some relevant Quotes:-
This is a massive change to the game's underlying economy and things are going to be very scary for the next few months. Hang on tight!
In a couple of weeks, CCP is going to do something so sweeping, so breath-taking, that I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. It's potentially the biggest change to the game since I started playing the game.
Pyroxeres mining is worth more than 20 million per hour right now, and I don't see any reason why it won't hit 35 before long.
Several people have asked "if no meta 0 mods drop, won't the increase in meta1-4 mods make up the difference?" The answer is no, for two reasons: - Meta1-4 mods reprocess into half the minerals meta0 mods do; and, - With no meta0 mods to put on new player ships and LOL-T1 ships, meta mod prices are almost certainly going to increase above their reprocessing value and therefore won't be reprocessed.
What seems very clear is that today, less than 50% of minerals -- particularly low-end minerals -- come from mining. In a few days, that's going to be the only significant source for minerals.
This means that drones will no longer produce minerals. This means that the mineral source from missions and ratting will also dry up to nearly nothing. That means that to build things, someone is gonna have to go out and mine asteroids all day long. Ho-lee ****.

Pyro was the most valuable ore even when nocx was capped; the meager supply it provides is already accounted for in the price.

Pretty sure these changes are from the Escalation (April), not Inferno (May). As in: there might be more market related changes in May. Cheers |

I'm hoping that at some point rats stop dropping meta-loot as well, and it becomes manufacturable.
Then we would truly be living in interesting times. |

Very excite!
I'm very interested in the upcoming changes. My thought is that they all will lead to further marketwide inflation, and lolmining might actually start becoming a viable source of Isk. Imo meta + prices will increase as well. Prices on some things are starting to look like a few years ago. I'm all for stirring the pot anyway, and I'm a believer in minerals coming from miners, it just seems more sensical and in line with intended careers and mechanics, vs so much coming from reprocessing, which was not intended.
Fun times ahead! Mmmm...beer... -áAnd no, I'm not actually Dutch. |

No matter how viable it may become, I can't bring myself to do mining. x_x
Manufacturing on the other hand... once the Escalation patch hits and the huge stocks of T1 modules out there starts to dry up, then there might be some decent profit to be made there potentially. Not fantastic, but it can be helpful for newer players looking to get started. This might be a good time for me to start my long-planned manufacturing alt... :o - Rei |
