Dysprosium : 60000 pu atm
reactors cost now 50000 isks to produce.
say hello to the good old time when Cerberus and Ishtars worthed 250 Mil because it's coming again and soon, nothing will stop the process, a cartel controls Dysprosium prices and it's gonna kill something in the production process

The material prices spike every time theres new t2 content released and once the initial demand is met they tend to return to 'normal.'
Even if they don't it isn't necessarily a bad thing, the rise in prices makes moon mining more profitable and more people will start doing it. Which provides more supplies of materials and forces sellers to be more competative in their prices.
Its hardly the end of the world.
I agree with you except that all Dysprosium moons are harvested yet, do you imagine seriously that something which makes 1 Bil per week would be ignored ? (lols)
the supply of Dysprosium is not enough OR simply too many people involved in T2 production considering the demand for these fine ships.

Again, WHY is it bad? Cost is cost, and once it passes your limit, buy other ships. I think there are about 150 or so different ships.
It's bad because ALL T2 ships are going to be VERY expansive
it's bad because a game is fun when it's balanced. Ships too cheap or too expansive is not balanced.
Why ? : not enough moon materials, and a cartel controls Dysprosium prices

Repeat after me: there is no Dysprosium cartel. There is no Dysprosium cartel.
Sure, there are people manipulating the market, but that's only possible because of the increased demand for this moon mineral combined with a one-two punch of recent supply disruption.
There is not, however, some great hegemony or OPEC like entity that is trying to drive up and keep the price at a certain level. The market will ultimately stabilize at a fair price. The market manipulators do not have infinitely deep pockets and if one of the larger alliances were to suddenly have their logistics problems solved and dumped a lot on the market there could be a lot of said manipulators left holding the proverbial bag.
In the meantime relax, enjoy the ride and don't sell your products for less than build cost. 
1) If you throw a look at dysprosium price history, you will see that these prices are under influence since around 3 month
2) OK I admit there might no be a cartel. Anyway I've been int he Moon materials/pos/T2 business for long enough to say that there is NOT ENOUGH dysprosium supply and maybe other raw materials aswell.
3) The demand for materials/T2 component is huge, I doubt strongly that there will be a big demand for these ships at these rates (Colsup made a mistake announcing their prices too early)
