Thanks for the clarification. Back to work, miners, traders, etc. |

Unless I am mistaken, one can upgrade space, or do I misunderstand the system as it stands now? |

Ah ok, so the three days to wait for a respawn also hurts the upgrade, if you wait. Got it. |

I have yet to see where the pressure on mins is downward, they have been steadily going up.
Take a look at some five year price trends and get back to us. |

If we had an easy way of removing the Meta 0 and not adding metal scraps we'd have done that, it's just that the system isn't set up in a way that makes that a particularly easy task, ...
Just out of pure technical curiosity, why is it difficult? Is there a funky cross reference table in the DB, is it a tokenized string?

There are no competitively profitable sources of low-ends in nullsec, at least at current prices. Veldspar alone makes up 40-60% of nullsec ore by units available, it's just that people would rather be mining ABCs. That's an entirely different issue to there not being "enough" low-ends out there, and the situation is complicated by the fact that any boost to low-end acquisition in nullsec is a nerf to hisec mining more-or-less by default.
Has CCP ever considered the idea of "ingots"? Create a Trit, Pyer, Mex, Iso Ingot BPOs (Low ends) that has a ridiculous ME research length. Allow it to compress minerals into "industrial ingots", then Null can export these from high-sec and reprocess them out in Null using Scrap Metal skill. The compression need not be any better than the current methods used. The resulting ingots can be quite large since freighters and JFs are the usual transportation. 10 million trit compressed into blocks the size of what ever keeps parity with current methods, 425s ring a bell. |

Yup. It's not being actively pursued right now, but it's one way we've looked at of of addressing compression head-on.
Ok, thanks for the reply. |
