On the high end game play side of this is the role of strategic ship classes as valuable targets. Here we refer to them as supercapitals, the largest classes of ships in the game which cannot dock in stations. Currently they get a default payout of 40% of the old static value of the ship which is around 5 billion ISK for supercarriers and 20 billion for titans.
The idea is that these are cut to a fraction of their current payout values so they might only get 1-10% for example of the base build value of their ships. This is done with the intention of making strategic ship classes be more valuable targets and their death have much stronger meaning and value.
They are just making the titan BPC business harder and harder

(Miners in 0.0/WH space are suppose to have high reward for high risk)
While true, I have found from experience that mining in WH space is much safer than highsec. Even more if you have a POS there. All the highend ores can be found in a C1 WH which won't even allow a battleship into it!!! Seriously, how risky is that??
Stay aligned, hit the scan button. No ****tards waiting to gank you because "my 1337 PvP skills let me kill a hulk that couldn't shoot back so my KB looks better". No hulkageddon. None of that stupid highsec bull**** that goes on.

edit: about the supercaps. The deployment will be a massive psychological advantage. Parties must be sure of their capacities when they are deploying one right ? ;) So. i dont see them being deployed less.
TQ can't handle 500 person battles now, so unless thats fixed there won't be any battles as everyone with a supercap will want to outnumber the enemy by 10:1.
I think CCP has just increased the demand for blobing

i was wondering if anyone has considered how the reduction in insurance fraud will affect salvage prices. I imagine its a very small percentage of salvage overall but still something to consider i guess.
Another thing to consider is that if T2 insurance does get a boost and more people start taking risks with T2 ships, how will T2 rig prices react if more T2 salvage is available?

In theory there will be an increase in T1 rig prices as less mission runners and ratters will be looting and salvaging the NPC ships.
Another reason to make wrecks scannable to open up the salvaging profession.

Probing wrecks mean that the missions locations, encounters and complex will be found in a few seconds if there is even a few wrecks in them and that even if you warp away to a safespot to avoid probers the location were you were will be discovered making useless to return there.
 You are completely wrong. Right now you can scan out ships so if someone is running a mission/plex/whatever in lowsec they will be found. Scan out the ship, warp to it, and then they know the location of the site making it useless to return there anyway. It's impossible to make a ship unscannable and still have enough tank and DPS to run a site in lowsec.
I'm talking about the thousands of wrecks that no one salvages that are just floating in space with no way to scan them down?

But I am predicting it will switch to a more miner based supply. Which means morphite as a mined mineral must change in price to match the new opportunity cost of mining other things. Also insurance changes have very little impact on morphite demand.
Mercoxit is easily found in WH space, even C1 systems. If the price starts getting to high again then more people will just start going to WH space to mine it.
Also insurance changes will have an impact on Morphite demand. If T2 insurance payouts increase then more people could start using T2 in PvP. If more people lose T2 ships then the demand will increase to replace those ships.
