Time to mine some Veldspar.
I've been stockpiling my veldspar while I train refining skills, guess that was the right call.
Yay for free market in EVE, this is gonna be awesome.

I don't think shuttles will remain hard to find. I plan to sell them so when you're in the area, if you don't see any on the market, I'll see what I can do for the traveler in need.

Wouldn't it have been simpler to just make shuttles not refine into anything?
Then we could still have our convenient transport for those little jaunts we all take sooner or later as well as removing the price cap.
While it is nice players can add making shuttles to a potentially worthwhile endeavor that is one item I think was better in the NPC sphere to allow for (mostly) uniform coverage.
The NPCs selling items at a fixed price is a bit unfair for those of us who want to work in the market, but have an insurmountable source of competition that never changes and always meets demand. I think the first mining barge I bought was NPC sold. The second was cheaper, but that player had to sell cheaper due to the npcs.

So here he was "stuck" with 16,000 shuttles. Over time, he's managed to sell about 4,000 of them. Now he has 12,000 shuttles and is doing a happy dance as he sees unit prices climbing to 1 million and above.
While I do think that prices will come down again, at today's prices, the balance of his inventory is worth about 12 billion Not too bad considering his initial purchase was roughly 144 million.
I'm seeing lots of shuttle sell orders in the 20-30k range, nobody's going to logically pay 1mil for a shuttle unless they NEED that shuttle, and even then, they'd be able to by a frig, ab, and nano mods and go just as fast. |

Shuttles have apparently been removed from the NPC markets because they were acting as a price cap for Tritanium.
The idiocy of it all is that this was showing that CCP was not providing enough supply for tritanium through ingame means, they talked about all sorts of serious fixes for this, but instead settled on the easiest worst possible solution which was thought of by an economist who has no concept of what makes a game different from a real world economy.
The side effect will probably be, no one goes to 0.0 or lowsec at all, mining veld in 1.0 sec will be the most profitable mining around. 
Edit: dropping the cap probably isn't a bad idea, but the cap shouldn't be necessary, Tritanium as the most abundant mineral in eve should be cheap, it should be cheap because there is ample supply NOT because there is a cap. If they fixed the supply issue the cap wouldn't be an issue in the first place.
Abundance means nothing if people aren't mining it. You'll see a massive rush to mine veld now, market will flood, prices will drop again, and it will eventually stabilize.

So... in light of this any chance we can get the tier 3 mining barge's skill req lowered to level 4 from 5? I need to mine more veld, faster.
