11:48 and if my prediction comes true... This is just the beginning.

[@sweetlane1813]

So, somebody buys a lot of structure-related materials, buys a lot of salvage which may or may not be used for structure rigs, and buys a hell of components for fuel blocks, and at the same time the supply of structures dries out? Somebody started Palatine Keepstar project? (IMO it can be imperium building the infrastructure for newly conquered regions, but the scale and speed is astonishing)

[@fergus247]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but are you factoring in the monthly SP reward in the skill farming calculation?

[@OZeve]

I was factoring it in when it was a log-in reward. I took it out when those were taken out in June. I have not added in the current 15k a week in the NES, but will do that if they become permanent.

[@fergus247]

@@OZeve Its practically still a login reward due to 2 x "Manufacture an item" being common

[@OZeve]

It is still clicks and time. If you are doing this for dozens of accounts, it becomes incredibly tedious. If you add that in, then where do you draw the line? PI?

[@fergus247]

@@OZeve i dont bother with PI but logging in 12 times to manufacture an item for 5 plex and 345k SP seems worth

@OZ_Eve regarding the Morphite and the Isogen, i noticed that most of the miners, who have mined 6-8 hours daily are now stopped plexig the accounts and they just wait to see where the game goes. One dude i know did mine 1b worth of morphite/day on belts with 10+ chars, now he has only 2 chars plexed. They did it mainly becouse the initial ore size on belts were too small for them, it was too dedious work. It occured to me that the upward price movements are the resutls of the lower supply, witch started a few weeks/months back when the first details of the new update got publiced.

Thanks for sharing!

this week I saw approx 11.000 accounts logged in the game, which would consider like 3.000 real players. Equinox and pushing nullsec now shows sadly enough its results. Of course we still see „summer gap“. Let’s hope players come back to the game and some balance changes will be implemented to cover hisec and low sec gamers

[@OZeve]

The weekly average logged-in accounts this month was over 20k.

[@fergus247]

people are using PLEX as a store of value

The sky is blue.

Thanks for another video. Really, the most useful and informative Eve information for me.

[@OZeve]

Much appreciated!

Is there any chance with the introduction of the way they allow Null to choose what they mine (at least that's what I thought it was saying in the patch notes) that we are seeing an artificial increase in price of some mineral due to people inflating the price intentionally? Very interesting report. I always enjoy these!

[@dummdog5309]

Most systems in null dont have enough power/workforce to spawn those belts. on top of that, those belts arent that great either.

[@OZeve]

That is certainly part of the answer, yes!
