Thank you very much for your analysis Jita Bloodtear, I'm gonna spend some time considering you perspective and will continue watching this thread.
I'm on vacation today so I'll keep my post short, but I do want to make clear that no aspects of these changes are designed to combat botting. I leave that work to our excellent Team Security and I focus on game systems balance. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

You make an excellent point about the non-racial ices Jita, and it's something we're keeping in mind as we work on the composition of the 0.0 ice belts.
One quick note I want to respond to however:
Jita Bloodtear wrote: We should instead be rebalancing the refined product yield for each type of ice. If the supply of highsec isotopes is too high then the rebalance should reflect this by lowering the refined supply slightly
The oversupply of ice is so significant that to bring supplies into some kind of balance through reduced refine yields we would need to make each block of ice yield less than 1/2 of a unit of isotopes. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

Ice prices are not currently affected at all by supply, because supply is so high it might as well be infinite.
We're adjusting the supply to have a fairly mild (but noticeable) affect on prices.
Completely unnecessary analogy:
Currently since supply is practically infinite it's like the ice market has no restrictions at all except people's desires to participate in the market.
After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

New wormhole space with no moons is an idea I have liked for a while. And yes, if we do ever add more wormhole space we can re-evaluate the option of giving that new space ice. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

Xavier Thorm wrote:"Wormhole systems" are just normal solar systems which we only connect to via wormholes, and the idea of a solar system without any moons seems very strange to me. If this was going to be done, I'd want some kind of artificial explanation of why there are no moons, or at least why we can't use them.
