"At our current numbers, the maximum supply of ice from highsec (assuming that each belt is mined out completely five times a day) would provide approximately 80% of the game's ice needs, ensuring that at least some of the ice mining must be undertaken in lower security space"
80% of ice assuming all the ice belts get mined out fully, within the first hour, from every hi-sec, ice holding system in eve. |

Anyone know what the likelihood of battleship blueprints base prices changing as a result of the Tiericide? They recently adjusted the prices of many BPOs, but I know that when the Cruisers were changed the BPO prices also changed to be more inline with one another. |

True, but what is the likelihood of having all the belts completely mined out within 30 mins. Ice miners are the laziest people i know. They generally point their lasers at a rock and go afk for 30 mins while watching tv. There is going to be a big reduction in the number of part-time ice miners, not to mention bots. |

I hope it spikes to 1000 and settles around 600. But I haven't really done any proper analysis. Edit - I also, don't understand the distribution fully. I would imagine that the majority of the caldari towers are in hi-sec. If ice fields are distributed equally among the different faction space, then that may leave a shortfall in hi-sec white-glaze for hi-sec pos.
All part of the plan to drive high sec profitability into the ground. |

Most Ice products already doubled in buy price and we are still greater than a month away.
The trick for a non-RL trader like me is to gage whether the speculation will actually outdo the actual supply-demand changes. IE, do I sell when the speculation hits its peak, or hold until things really settle-down longer term...

Ice will be enough I personally know few systems with more than one ice belt that have very few ice miners, which according to ccp will still have 2belts but have to be scanned now.It will be best to sell right before patch because when patch hits many people will be burned horribly, there will be enough ice for all and yes prices will increase but as much as people expect.... i doubt it. |

Moon mat changes, I think that ones pretty obvious, large scale alliance warfare is dead, compared to what it was back when I started playing the game.
I knew tech was going to be the money maker, but I definitely didn't foresee it happening like this, it appears finished products and not advanced moon mats are the focus now. |

I see thulluim went 3 months ago for 1500 isk pu now its 12000 isk pu.... What are the effects from this patch on the thullium price? I know it is the rarest R64 by plannet numbers. |

Unless you mine with a supported fleet, properly organized to deploy and mine as efficiently as possible when the ice spawns. CCP wants player corps to be more cohesive and cooperative, not linger around AFK for days at a time, and the relative rarity of ice in the future (compared to what it is now) is incentive for that kind of cooperative effort.
And I'm beginning to think that ice prices may go a fair bit higher than some of the pre-Fanfest speculation suggested.
Call it a hunch based mostly on human nature.

If you can't figure out into what goons are sinking their money, you fail at eve market speculation.
Tech is not dead yet. But a huge reduction in demand is incoming. So say you're sitting on billions if not trillions of isk in Tech (pre-patch announcement value) that you know is going to lose like 50% value, what do you do with it?
You also know that Thullium is on the way up. At least a doubling in demand.
The path is clear. "How do you kill that which has no life?" |

When you add an intermediate component to the tech II world you effect up and down stream.
Look at your charters. They will be work 20k each... Microprocessors are the core component to Tech II..
Good luck on trading anything now. It will freeze in a week after the patch. |

Isotopes and ozone being at 1k result in racial ice products (in null) being closer to 50m/hr, with the non-racial stuff (eg Dark Glitter) going higher. It will be quite lucrative. And more to the point, the fact that the "if I can't AFK it it's not worth it" meme is even a thing is evidence of a fundamental wrongness in the game, which I am exceedingly happy to see them correct.

I've taken advantage of the huge spike in T2 rig prices -- especially for the t2 large trimark. Certain T1 salvage also spiked, some notable examples being nanite compound, which moved by 300% -- unfortunately my supply wasn't that high.
I've also stockpiled T2 rig components (the price has dropped for some items by about 15%) with an eye on it passing -- or at least matching -- previous highs seen earlier this year during the large cap/supercap movements into SOLAR space.
There are some risks though. Following the patch, I expect renewed interest in exploration and possible flooding in the market due to spikes in salvage supply. I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license. |

Although the Ice prices will put a hurting on my corp in general I'm pretty happy with the change. Ice mining was just about the dullest most pointless activity in eve. And THAT's coming from someone who enjoys mining. You need to look at your screen about once every 35 mins to ice mine at maximum effectiveness.
I'm not sure the change they are making is the correct one to fix the problem, but at least they are doing SOMETHING to fix it. I'll give them an E for effort but I think the change they are making will have repercussions far beyond what they are anticipating.

I've always said that Eve is designed to have an appeal to the entire spectrum of gameplay. From the ultra-extreme hardcore gamer to the ultra-relaxed casual player. If ice was appealing to the ultra-relaxed then Eve is big enough for that style of gameplay and whose anyone to say that their style of play isn't 'acceptable'.

I have trouble defining "that style of gameplay" as actual gameplay, considering there's barely any actual interaction with the game. I'm equally skeptical of calling things like "afktar" ratting - that is, warping an Ishtar with sentries into an anomaly and going afk while your drones wipe out the anomaly - "gameplay" too, for the record, so this isn't just some sort of bias or crusade against highsec.
Casual gameplay, in my mind, means something a player who can only log in for a short period of time can undock and go and complete. The new exploration stuff is a great example of this. It's quick, interesting, probably is fairly rewarding, and most importantly, there's actual player/game engagement. You know, "gameplay". Member of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal |

Semantics.
The fact is that that style of play appeals to a certain sect of the player-base and who is someone else to dictate whether its acceptable or not.

"A game is structured playing, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports/games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).
Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform an educational, simulational, or psychological role."
It's painfully obvious that pressing three buttons and than walking away from the keyboard for 20 minutes fulfills none of the above criteria even remotely. Don't get me wrong here - I "AFK" ice mine like everyone else while writing, drawing, or playing other games - but I'm not so ignorant as to pretend I'm actually playing a game while sucking down isotopes.

CCP IS changing ice mining. Therefore your argument over it's current state is not only an entirely moot, but has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

On the contrary, my argument regarding the current state of mining is extremely relevant, as CCP's changes - taking away the ability to do extremely low interaction "gameplay" all day long and replacing it with something that demands a higher level of interaction - demonstrates that they feel the same way.
