None of the money made through mining was "flushed away", they balanced the markets to behave properly, though I don't think you really have even the most base understanding of the issue.
The game isn't broken because third-party tools aren't a foolproof indicator of sell price anymore. Those prices are generated when people dock, so if it's a high-price system, odds are somebody's going there for that exact reason.
Don't you think you should have made a rational statement to respond to in the first place?
This is actually my biggest issue. We know the in game conditions that causes a station to significantly increase the price of mined commodities. Unfortunately, we can't search for them ingame, and the third party tools can't either, yet.
You are a much more experienced ED gamer than I am. So let me ask you a question that I hope you have an answer to.
You can filter for type and state using the galaxy map. From there on you either search for systems with the other desired states or don't waste your time and simply sell for less than 1.6 million credits.
But if they sell for less that 1.6M they will lose money, they will actually owe the station money. Don't you know that
don't even bother, supply and demand doesn't make much sense at the moment, and there are too many variables that you would need to point on a sheet, you're only going to receive speculation and teasing here from people who I doubt will ever do mining.

Yes I know that is a strawman, and totally a lie, but the way some here are going on it would see they expect only one value for their work, top value or nothing at all.
I'm not mining at the moment. I figured I'd take a break until the smart people figured out the most efficient way to deal with the changes.don't even bother, supply and demand doesn't make much sense at the moment, and there are too many variables that you would need to point on a sheet, you're only going to receive speculation and teasing here from people who I doubt will ever do mining.
Go testing at different stations, it is the only way, time will later vary for no reason and they will also tell you that there are millions of commanders delivering materials at the same time at all stations.
Anyway, you can keep getting rich while others speculate.
Babel pretty much nailed your earlier question. Reality is, most people who have been making their fortune mining had third-party tools doing all of the work for them, and had no idea at all how or why the pricing was different anywhere.
