Holy hell we cut empire mining by half.
One out of every two peasants in the entire galaxy either put to the sword or forced to flee in terror that is one hell of a good job hi5s all around |

I believe the hulk figures also show that the mining changes - which were based on max yield being the thing that miners should "pay" the most for - were misguided. What miners love - and what they're choosing - is legalized botting: with the current mackinaw setups they need about two minutes of attention per hour. It's clear these need to be rebalanced with this in mind: to get your legalized botting setup you should be the least gank-resistant, not the second-most, while hulks should have the second-most gank resistance. |

The spike in production of Procurers and Retrievers had basically nothing to do with their new usefulness. (They aren't). It had everything to do with their increased mineral costs coming in. In some cases 400%+. It was a no brainer hit.
Thank god I already cashed out half my stockpile to recover all my initial investment before this blog hit. Holla. Yeah, people were wondering how long it was going to take before the prices return to near mineral value ... i guess now we know there's only a stockpile of 250k+ retrievers out there made at the lower cost.
procurers, not retrievers |

In the case of ore, its a rare high sec roid field where you can aim 2 strips at 2 roids then 24 minutes later return to a full hold. Many roids deplete in a single strip cycle. If you really want to see mineral prices go down, CCP should refactor roid fields to having fewer roids, each with more ore. That way ore can be mined like ice is mined, with little effort.
