Those "free" minerals still have a value.
Anyone who builds using only melted junk is being very inefficient with their time. Its clear you do not manufacture anything.
Now your argument is back to isk/hr. Which has already been established as irrelevant. If everyone wanted ISK/HR then the market would have an even harder time supporting these changes.
Need more people mining, or less people building that is what happens when you reduce mined mineral capacity by a net 10% and reduce reprocessed mineral capacity by 45%.
There is no math in the world that makes this remain at the current status quo...let alone a net increase.
What 10% reduction?
You will mine the exact same amount in high sec in the summer as now. POS will be refining even more and Null up to 20% more. That 45% reduction in refining junk is so small it amounts to less than 5% of a mission runners takings if the mission runner kills and loots everything.
And while we are at it, how long do you think a ship building company will last if it makes no profit? Isk/hr is everything in this area.
The 10% net reduction in refined minerals is the average refining amount in New Eden, across HS, LS and NS. The economy of the game is not just restricted to specific security in encompasses everything. There isn't a region in space that experienced a reduction. At best you are pushing refine numbers to what they were in HS, LS and NPC Null, into one place Sov Null where you will at best break even with todays market.
When you take 37% from 100% and only put 8% back that is not net gain, it is a net loss. HS, LS and NPC Null will all refine at a net loss, with Sov Nulls bonus pulling that net loss across all space to 10% instead of the 19% or so it would normally sit at. Unless all refining is done in Sov Null. (highly unlikely).
Less Minerals entering the market.
Reducing minerals from reprocessing by 45% means those people who build on reprocessed minerals now buy from the market.
More mineral demand from the market.
Less Supply + More Demand =/= Maintaining the status quo.
Go ask Mynnna what supply and demand is and how reducing net supply and increasing net demand produces a net reduction in market capacity.
