My guess is that when they removed the NPC option to buy nexus chips, people started cashing in their LPs in other ways. _______________ Pwett CEO, Founder, & Executor <Q> QUANT Hegemony

The most significant part of that is now folks have to compete with each other to get their LP converted to isk. One of the biggest hindrances is that the items that aren't listed on the market, need to be traded through contracts, that's lower visibility and folks can only have a very small number of contracts active at the same time. So it makes sense for the mission runners to pick items that need a lot of LP and require relatively little isk to buy, that's mostly the ships.
If you produce 120k-240k LP per account (our Asian farmer friends), it only takes 5-2.5 days to produce a navy megathron. If a single person can use more than a single account at the same time, you'll see an influx of faction battleships.
I've seen it going as low as 400 isk per LP for the larger items.At those prices it's probably cheaper to buy the item through contracts then to mission the LP.
I wonder whether the prices would go up or down if these kinds of items where added to the market.

Hmm I suppose those farmer numbers are possible. Another major contributing factor is the switch to the t2 mega, its called kronos I think. So the navy megas that they no longer use get contracted.
