That point was stressed quite a bit when Apocrypha got on Singularity, but CCP didn't listen much. An increase in the output of gaz harvesting, and that's it.
Of course that's far from being enough...
I'm waiting a few more weeks to see how it evolve before making a post like yours...
Still, the relative lack of BPCs on contracts and T3-related threads in the sell forum is pretty telling, isn't it?

i predict t3 becoming vastly overpriced on markets, but corps and alliances banding together to produce them for their own in concentrated ops
That'...stupid.
If T3 ships are worth billions, alliances won't give them to their members, they will sell them on the markets.
Would you give Dreadnoughts to your members for 200 millions? Why would it be different for other expensive goods?

So you get a gang of alliance mates together and between you, you get enough bits to build a t3 ship each. your alliance then steals them off you and puts them on the market. If i was you i'd quit such a ****e alliance and join a real one.
Ridiculous.
If a corp op is done to do T3 exploration, the bits and pieces go to the corp. If individual players do it, the stuff is theirs. Nothing wrong with that.
And "****e alliances", as you said, never achieve anything, because they can't keep their members. Insinutating TCF is one is...funny.

If the devs want prices of t3 to drop, it means getting those players that refuse to ever enter.
You're right about the rest of your post, but wrng about that quote.
You don't need it to be farmed by everyone just to increase the volume to something that would sustain the industry, you just need to increase the output for those who do it...

Check the sell forum. I had to dig to page 5 to find the first T3-related thread. Two weeks after the expansion, only one recent thread.
Even in the one I found, the seller is already lowering it's price, because they just don't sell, novelty factor or not.
When T2 battleships came out, they had skill requirments, both for use and for construction, far higher than strategic cruisers. Yet they generated much more threads than that. This is a sure sign of something being wrong.
The novelty factor of exploration is wearing out. So the supply will be less, while at the other end, market prices for stratgic cruisers go down. That bring a huge pressure on the middle (the producers). It nothing drastic is done, production will die out, and will bring the economic death of WH with it...

What Bellum is suggesting is actually a carebear buff btw.
Good T3 ships = Higher demand = Higher sell prices for your W-space loots = More incentive to do half interesting PvE content.
The ships themselves are good enough. Thought, if they're meant to be used a lot in WH exploration, one more high slot would be usefull for a probe launcher.
Significantly improving them further would probably turn them into solopwnmobiles. What needs doing is for the component requirement to be beaten down with a club, or the component drop rates or gaz harvesting output to be decupled...

18 days after apocrypha:
Not a single strategic sale happened in the Forge market (jita region). Not one. Not because of price, but because there isn't any to buy.
In contracts (all regions), only one strategic cruiser alaivable, for 3.99 billions.
In contracts, only 11 strategic cruiser BPCs on sale, all for 1.5B and more.
Draw you own conclusions, but if that easily gathered data isn't ringing all types of alarm bells in CCP, I don't know what will...
