Is this implant only available as a reward from some L4 storyline missions, or do some NPC's in plexes also drop it?

As far as I know, the Mining Foreman Mindlink is only available as a reward for doing the Level 4 storyline mission "Shipyard Theft", and then it's random which mindlink you get.

Also drops from certain COSMOS plexes in lowsec and nullsec.

This, plus you won't always get a mindlink at all -- it can also give crappy 3% implants as well.

Apparently not as of September 2010.

Thus the price increase back then from 85,000,000 ISK to current Price of 940,000,000 ISK.

This is based on what information, other than you bolding that part?

Yes. I have run a zillion quadtrillion gabillion lvl 4's with their storyline and, coincidently only just received the item in the OP for the first time.

I asked a serious question.

LOL! How naive can you possibly be, to expect a serious answer to a serious question from a goon?

And really, think about it, a serious question from a goon?
How exactly is that even physically possible or even hypothetically feasible?

Thats like expecting a thought provoking answer about the Meaning Of Life from a 2 year old child. It aint gonna happen.

Now go ahead and start calling me a puppie filth or something equally LOLworthy.

They most certainly do still drop from the nullsec COSMOS sites and various obscure things scattered around lowsec.

"The source of Mindlinks is neither NPC nor Blueprint: they can only be obtained by doing storyline missions (for example Shipyard Theft). In the Incursion expansion CCP has introduced an extensive batch of storyline missions, which results in much lower probability of getting "the right mission" with the Mining Foreman Mindlink implant."

The main reason was down to the large increase in the number of level 4 storyline missions - a lot more possible missions mean Shipyard Theft comes up less often therefore less mindlinks (of any sort) dropping. All mindlinks have increased in price because of this.

Truly you are a font of information and a paragon of veracity.

These seem to be much more rare these days. I just got lucky the day before yesterday and got the l4 storyline with it as the reward. I was shocked to see then how much it was worth, and even more shocked when I sold it for 960 million in less than a day.
