I'm not going to read all the input from players on this because I really don't want to get depressed.

Highseccers and small and individual corporations will likely use smaller POSes, yes, but these groups will be getting thousands of new moons with Crius. I really think the stated reason of fear of ice devaluation due to smaller POSes is premature. Nullsec POSes are usually large for defensive purposes, and defense will be the primary consideration for POS size.

Let things happen, then make adjustments.

Also, null sec industry will rely on JFs, and the cost of their use will go up, thereby removing some of the benefit of doing industry in null sec that are supposed to be created by Crius.

Also, any changes designed to create ice demand should consider ice supply. I mine ice in high sec. The ice tends to deplete too quickly. I also do some moon mining in low sec. I notice when I am there that all the ice fields are basically empty. Also, I have toons in a CFC null sec alliance, and I notice that the ice fields in our space are almost always empty.

I think the bigger factor than smaller POSes will be the effect of an updated Rorqual on low sec and null sec mining. If the Rorqual update allows more mining to happen in low and null, then ice supply will increase. In that case it might warrant creating an increased demand. If the Rorqual update fails to change the low and null mining dynamics, I highly doubt the changes in POS sizes will result in market disturbance.

Let the other changes go live and make ice adjustments with Crius 1.5 or something.
