As minerals become more rare the incentive for people to abandon their safety to mine them for profit increases, keeping the supply of minerals constant. Keeping prices artificially low would only serve to eliminate that incentive, resulting in mineral shortages. It's a non-issue.
Keeping supply consistant only increases the price... wont ever make it come down. Maybe what we need is a small boost to refine amounts.
Go to 0.0 and see the wonders of the vast chunks of low end roids there. They never get mined....why? Because the price the minerals go for doesn't make it worthwhile yet.
If low end min prices rise, then maybe the low ends in 0.0 will be sucked up. As it stands, there is a massive amount of untapped resources out there, but the averagejoe doesn't want to bother going out and getting it.
Don't screw with the market because people are lazy.

Because they are 0.0 regions... most of what is mined out there is produced out there. And like I said, it won't play a huge role. If you think they are magical regions and prices will drop, then explain YOUR reasons.
Nothing is stopping you going there and mining it.

The trend is up and up for prices... show me whats gone down? I love the beauty of the economy, but when you keep adding more things to produce, it only makes sense to add more of what you need to produce... or you're just tending to the rich who can afford the higher prices and make bigger profits.
Did you manage to miss 1/2 the posts in this thread?
Theres an overabundance of minerals in 0.0 if you can be arsed going to get them. If you want cheap minerals, go there, make yourself rich.

If it's too expensive for you to buy them, go mine them yourself. Sell some even, the high prices will net you a nice profit.
This isn't a personal issue on what I can and can't do.
No, you appear to be ranting about the lack of willingness of over players going about and tendering to your needs. If you cant be bothered doing it, why should anyone else?

Sorry, but ranting "go to 0.0" is not a fix. You have yet to explain to me how THAT woould lower minerals prices.
If an industrial corp starts flooding the market with cheap mins mined from the fruit of 0.0 whey would make a killing. Undercut everyone else who is starving from the lack o minerals in empire and they will have to reduce their prices too.
High Supply = More Competition = Lower Prices.
