Mega prices might go down but not by much. Zyd prices on the other hand, continue to climb. The prepatch excuse that mega is so hard to mine because you need to get to a bistot belt 20-25 jumps away never held true for Zydrine, whose ores can be found a few jumps away out into non empire space---yet Zyd prices have climbed much faster than mega prices. In fact, while Mega prices are only 1.6X before CCP fixed the giant secure can prices (where people are getting their mega from by buying them from the npcs), zyd prices are still climbing and are around 4X over their November prices.
0.0 remains as hostile as ever. There are too many pirates and regional wars out there, and you know have to deal with super NPC mobs. That can assure that mega and zyd prices (and ship prices) will never fall as low again, which by the way, seems to be one of CCP's own intentions.
Also there are too many people flying around doing missions nowadays, so there is also less people sitting down mining and making stuff. With less producers, it's not a buyer's market but a seller's one. That means they can dictate prices and add margins.
One more thing. If you really need a ship now, go do it. A Dominix is a ship I consider to be a money maker. If Dominix prices are like 70 million now, are you hoping that in one month, it will fall down to 50 million again?
In that one month I can tell you I can make much more than that 20 million difference. Heck I can recover that difference in a few days. You have to consider that alternative cost which is your cost for not using that ship during that time frame.
Do realize that one thing---after Castor, you can also make much more money than ever before. In fact, you can make money even faster. That's why the scale of making money pre-Castor and post Castor is quite different. Just the bounties and the mission rewards are considerably greater, which is something you take account if you use your BS in hunting.
