Holy shit, this is awesome! In a universe where no one can stop the rich and powerful, stuff like this is bind to happen! It's a horrible aspect of reality, but these news reports read like amazing scifi! Keep them up!
Don't be so shy about explaining the background of Tech.
The "bottleneck" of Dyp and Prom wasn't really a bottleneck, there is always going to be a more valuable mineral and the price wasn't amazingly ridicioulous especially considering they were R64 (so the rare moon minerals). They were SUPPOSED to be expensive, and all-in-all they were spread pretty evenly out among the universe. Sure some places had way too much (*cough* starts with a d) but it was a decent spread.
Instead they created a true bottleneck, because it is only available in really one area, and it's a 34. Genius economist move there. It was a dumb idea and everyone with half a brain realized it, and anyone with that half-brain and some cash did the smart thing and bought into it.
I'm not really complaining or butt-hurt about it, I'm fine with it made me tons of ISK which added more $ to my wallet when I cashed out of EvE.
@ Elsa - Not in this regard, yes there have been conglomerates that massively inflated prices before (t2 rechargers :| and t2 across the board) but this is actually a move to get them to change it and admit how stupid the decision was, not too make more money. So it's like the opposite of RL :P

I just got into EVE Online and I am just daunted by the skill system more so than anything else. Taking months or so before it becomes reasonable to venture into lowsec and nullsec is a hard blow. To do most things in the game requires having at the very least a few months under your belt, which makes it hard for someone just coming into the game to commit to anything prior to understanding the game.
I am trying to just get a semi-stable amount of ISK flowing in, but that is hard to do without the skills.

@ Dao2-SKP:
Thank you for correcting me. I wasn't actually playing EVE back when Dysp/Prom were the big ISK fountains, so I just assumed the Dominion manufacturing changes were meant to balance moon value in some way.
