All of the new command burst ammo requirements use Heavy Water.
Everybody I've spoken to already has a shortage of HW and an abundance of LO, a situation that has been true for years. Even before Phoebe I accumulated 16m units of excess LO in Delve and we had a fair few JBs seeing use then. This is going to be accentuated even further by increasing the HW consumption on the Industrial cores.
Has somebody done a proper analysis of production vs consumption of LO and HW and whether there are stockpiles generally accumulating? I suggest that using LO for the command burst ammo may be a better choice.
I can confirm this; as an ice purchaser in my nullsec home, I get considerably more liquid ozone than heavy water.
Very likely, they're looking at Jita prices to consider the value of items. However, liquid ozone and heavy water are very large at 0.4 m^3 per unit. As such, it's very difficult to move large quantities of these, so their prices tend to reflect their environment.
The reason Heavy Water is so much cheaper than Liquid Ozone in Jita is because of the composition of highsec ice. Highsec ice contains roughly twice as much Heavy Water than Liquid Ozone; thus, the price is much lower. However, in nullsec, things are different. Ice in nullsec contains more liquid ozone than heavy water. Ice belts in nullsec also contain twice as much Dark Glitter (primary source of LO3) than Glare Crust (primary HW source.) Combine this with the immovability of liquid ozone and heavy water and you end up with liquid ozone being the dross of an ice field, and heavy water being rare and useful enough to be called "holy water" by some in my organization. The addition of T2 industrial core siege and the increased heavy water requirement only exacerbates this.
Please, consider increasing Liquid Ozone usage.

This statement is adorable, for more than one reason.
