It says on the drawing board somewhere that agents will release bpcs and stuff and they might make some kind of auction for every and any t2 bpo until everything evens out. I think the bpcs are a good idea but the auction might just screw things up. I wonder how they would find the sweet spot of t2 being just rare enough to not have price gouging going one or t2 being so common that they become worth less then they should be.

HAC's are more used now as more people are beginning to see their usefulnes. Before there was only a limited set of people able to fly them now as more and more players are able to fly them they are more difficult to buy.
The auction thing I hope it never makes it. It will only serve the big building corps. The big boys (and girls) will buy the BPO's and the small fish will be left with no access to the materials anyway.
The new changes to the manufacturing setup planed for the next big patch it seems (or a bit after that)... will solve a lot with the building times being shorter due to specialized building facilities.
I guess we will just have to be patient while the devs build that or be willing to sit around and wait a while for our ships or of course fork out a little extra buying them quickly.

Well...
As I see it... training to get to fly a HAC takes a lot of time. And as we well know, "time is money". If CCP is going to continue to release ships with high skill requirements that require people to train for nearly a whole month, then I think they should also up the availability of those ships. Sure, in a month's time you can also gather the money required to fly the ship... but what's the use of having the money and the skills to fly one if you just can't find any?
Also, some people are taking advantage of the inavailability of HAC's. The surest, safest and cheapest way to lay hands on a HAC is to order one at a retailer. However, you can also get one from escrow or from the market for a much higher price. So, some people place an order, only to then later on sell it through the market or escrow for about double the price. This is ridiculous, but sadly enough part of the game.
Bottom line: I don't mind spending 30 days training for a ship, I don't mind spending 85M on a ship that only costs 1/3rd of that to build, I do mind not being able to get one just because BPO's are so limited.
I understand the motivations behind this lottery etc etc, but when you gotta pay to play a game, and spend one of the months you pay for just on training and gathering cash to then find out the ship you want isn't available, then I think there's still something not right about the game.

It's a fundamental mistake in EVE to think that you can work and scrimp and save to get the most desireable ship, and then all will be wine and roses.
Pilots need for the most part to have ships they can replace without disasterous depression when they are lost. Because they will be lost. HACs don't last very long from what I have seen. They are so sweet the new pilots momentarily consider taking on a well piloted battleship. And that's usually a fatal delay.
That's my experience. I've gone back to piloting the T1 version of the HAC I fly, until I get really, really good with that. Otherwise, the replacement costs soar. If you are HAC pilot material, you will have standing orders in all the usual places. You won't run out of ships; but the cost will also not be trivial.
