I think it's going to be more complex and chaos prone than you think. There are chgneas in supply and chgneas in consumption of minerals coming. The floor is going away so no more safety net. On the other hand supply is being reduced and adjusted at the same time as new mineral drains are being introduced.Affecting Minerals:Insurance Changes: reducing demand and removing floor (allows downward pressure to keep going)Loot chgneas: Reduce supply of all minerals except trit.POS manufacture: Uses Captial Construction Parts so they will increase mineral demand once POS manufacture gets rolling.Mid range ores: (low sec) get more low end mins (trit and pye) Spod in particular will have a tonne of trit now.Drone goo: Re balance in favor of the mid and low range minerals.The interesting thing is that EVE is still adjusting to the influx of mega and zydrine from wormhole space. It's much easier to get ore from w-space to high sec than from 0.0 to high sec. This caused a major flood of zydrine and megacite in high sec putting major downward pressure on them. With no floor, there should come a time when most ores will be trading within 50 isk/m3 of each other. The only exception will be Mercoxit which will remain dependent on overall T2 production (which should go up)Basically the whole situation with this patch is so complex with chgneas in pressure in opposite directions that the only thing we can say for certain is that there will be no floor. Combine this with the traditional pre-patch hoarding and the berzerk speculation going on and the only thing you can say for sure is things will be Chaotic.Personally it will be a fun ride but then again as an industrialist (as opposed to a miner) and a JOAT, I'm pretty insulated from market shocks. I'm flexible enough to be able to engage in profitable activities no matter what the market does and I'm able to invent/research/manufacture anything the market does not provide at a reasonable price. (The advantages of a massive blue print collection). I'm a little worried for the pure high sec miners as they have much less ability to switch between activities than someone like myself. Mind you I think this is just another symptom of the damage that the class based MMOs do to the player base. It gets players locked into the mindset that their characters can only do one thing.
