If the price comes down from this ludicrous 12 digit numbers and people can buy it at the price of a mothership, this wouldn't obsolete the other raven hull ships.
You're missing the point of the State Raven. It's not meant to obsolete anything, nor is it meant to be compared to anything. It's bling. It's a mantlepiece ornament. It's bragging rights. As such, its price has nothing to do with its performance (because the performance is "none").
Adding more to the game to bring the price down would mean no-one would buy it, since it would then neither be bling or give you bragging rights, and since it would be re-balanced to be in-line with the other Ravens, it wouldn't be particularly interesting to own for any reason.

My proposal was to make them a little more common - still very hard to get but not just a fixed number of only a few ships, that is never going to increase.
And the counter-question is: why? Their whole reason to exist is to be unobtainable. Add more and you might as well remove them.

True words. Probably the listed people are the alts of one or two persons anyways.
No, just ignorant. And you're wrong as well.
How can it be so hard to understand the point of a collector's item?
Also, the question still remains: why should more of them be given out?

This question has been answered above by Princess Alia and Hobogoblin 11
No, but that's ok. You obviously lack the intelligence to know what an answer is (although I suspect that in reality, it is actually the question you fail to understand). "I don't want it to be a collector's item" is not an answer (quite the opposite, in fact), and that's as far as their reasoning go.
A good answer would entail showing that the whole point of it being a collector's item is somehow bad for the game, and that everyone would be better off if the value of these unique items were dilluted. That would also go a long way towards answering my second question.

Who said that this is a collector item ? CCP did not, they just made a ship and stopped giving it out as an alliance tournament reward after doing it once.
There's your answer and once again, you fail to spot it. It's a collector's item because it's rare enough to be worth collecting. Welcome to EVE: the players decide these things around here, so my view is as relevant and meaningful as they come. It's ok, though — you'll learn these things as you grow older…
