[The raw data that makes up this report can be downloaded here. (27.1MB)](https://web.ccpgamescdn.com/aws/community/EVEOnline_MER_Mar2019.zip) * * * For deeper understanding of the indices used in the report, please have a look at the following explanations. Mineral Price Index (MPI) The Mineral Price Index (MPI) shows the price changes in all eight minerals used to produce ships and other items in EVE. The weight of each mineral in the index changes each month is based on the relative trade values of the previous month. Primary Producer Price Index (PPPI) The Primary Producer Price Index consists of manufacturing items used for the production of other manufacturing items at the secondary stage. Manufacturing items used for the production of final consumer goods are excluded. The index includes such item groups as ore, moon materials, planetary commodities, sleeper relics, and items used in invention. Secondary Producer Price Index (SPPI) The Secondary Producer Price Index contains production materials and other production items that are used in the manufacturing of consumer goods, i.e. goods included in the Consumer Price Index. Consumer Price Index (CPI) The Consumer Price Index measures the overall price changes of consumer products. This is not limited to consumables such as fuel, ammunition or PLEX, but also includes assets such as ships, modules, implants and starbase structures. In summary, anything that is not primarily used to produce other goods is included in the index, which contains over 4000 individual items. ---

As asked last month, that Secondary index which includes moon goo is on track to go through the roof. Could CCP share their plans on how they plan to stabilise this before T2 prices become utterly unaffordable, as this has massive impacts on balance as well. Possible thoughts would be massively dropping the T2 requirements for larger ships, as they already need huge amounts of T1 resources, they don’t need to be that expensive (approx 1 billion just for a Marauder Hull?) Increasing Low/High/WH access to moon minerals. Increasing the amount of moon minerals from refining. \<---- At least one of these or some other solution seem required to keep T2 ships being even remotely viable, in the day and age of pirate ships being on farm. ---

@CCP_Falcon The link to the comment thread in the dev blog links to February. – And numbers are still way too disgusting. Delve is down 1T in ratting but up again in mining and production is nearly unchanged. Worse even, Destruction in the region has fallen again. When is CCP going to do something about that? > [@Nevyn\_Auscent](#): > > massively dropping the T2 requirements for larger ships And devalue all previously produced and not sold off T2 things in the process because they just lost their value over night? > [@Nevyn\_Auscent](#): > > Increasing Low/High/WH access to moon minerals. Low already has lots of moon minerals available but you cannot mine them because you have no super cap umbrella protecting you. More value in W-space? Where you can completely seal off your wormhole from any outside interference? And as for high sec: Imagine the tears. > [@Nevyn\_Auscent](#): > > Increasing the amount of moon minerals from refining. And then reduce it again once too many moon materials are in the market again … and then increase them again when T2 prices go up again… Great plan. That will surely create reliability for producers and totally does not wreck their production in the process every other month. How about passive mining again instead? Rorquals in heavily and mining rich areas have already proven to be way too hard to interfere with and are not fun to engage even after repeated nerfs because of their tank and cynos. Simply have Athanors mine passively again and give other opportunities to interfere with the mining process like Hacking, roid fragment stealing and whatnot. That will have lots of positive implications for EVE again, among other things reduction in alt swarms. And in the process you can remove the dreaded ore anoms. No one needs them and enough moons for Athanors are available to keep mining ungodly amounts of ore every day. ---

The evil option would be them forcing goo costs into pirate hull construction as a way to keep pirate hulls from getting too much cheaper than general T2 hulls. Additional goo in HS should probably be avoided as you don’t want to provide too many incentives to make HS space rental territory for null blocs. WH and especially LS might be better options for deflating the cost index. ---

Things are devalued overnight all the time after patches/announcements. A simple fix would be to have an option to convert any existing t2 you had to their materials, but that would be unnecessary imo. ---

We had this discussion last time around, too. Snuff are absolutely not members of the Imperium. They left the coalition months ago, and even if we do sometimes work together against the Imperium’s enemies, we’re more than happy to shoot them, too. > [@Nuke\_Michael](#): > > if they were do you think they would be allowed to constantly go after Test supers? Yes. TEST isn’t part of the Imperium, either. If, for example, Init wanted to hunt TEST supers, as long as they’re not violating the NIP to do it, I don’t think there’d be an issue. Obviously, though, I’m not a member of Corps Diplomatique. ---

We did discuss this previously, yet at every major (or attempted) battle since then, Snuff have been alongside Initiative. As above, that is an internal Imperium issue - I’ll leave them as Imperium as that is what I see in Battle Reports. If Initiative separate from the Imperium, I’ll happily revisit. ---
