Through another new devblog, CCP Dr.EyjoG announced the publishing of the 3rd Quarterly Economic Newsletter.
"This issue has the standard economic indicator of population, ships flown in space, price level reports and market snapshots. The specific topic this time around is the latest news on "Unholy Rage," the Anti-RMT operation that has been ongoing for several months now. ..."
As stated above this newsletter has a special section which is providing information about the so called "operation unholy rage" against real money trades (RMT). As usual it is a must for industrialists in New Eden.
A very interesting point is, that the Raven fell from the first place and the Hulk took over as the most popular ship in New Eden. Probably this also explains the decreasing tritanium price over the last weeks. Concerning the numbers of flowen ships, it is interesting to see that the use of stealth bombers increased and in the capital ship section Dreadnought dropped down significantly from about 1100 to under 800, which made the jump freighter more popular than dreadnoughts. CCP Dr.EnjoG's opinion is that the reason is the upcoming patch, which makes alliances shift from warfare to production in preparation of Dominion.
Further a look on the minerals prices shows that Tritanium price is decreasing more and more. One reason mentioned in the newsletter is the increase of the respawn and resseding rates of veldspar in high security space ("[...]as empty belts had beed to common[...]"). As an implication that means that it can be expected that the new equilibrium of Tritanium price will be less then before.
