Why is E so much more than T right now? I would have thought T would have a higher value, since it's more generally useful. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious .

from what I have seen most production planets are making t only. I personally get a lot of vital as im killing a lot of spc planets. 2m of t roughly gives 1.5m of v so even if I max production of e, I still make t and e at 3:1 ratios. the e which is out there seems to only be on HWs and ive seen more partial homeworlds with 15m t and no e than the other way round.

E is a waste of production other than to cover the cost of shields. Therefore less E production makes it harder to come by and more valuable.

At this point market prices mean almost nothing. E is definitely less valuable but only by up to 10% in my opinion.

E is only used for defense.. T on the other hand is both offense and defense...

T is more valuable but easier and quicker to make with the help of vital..

So - T is more valuable, so nobody produces E. Chances are the market went crazy at some point ramping E (and presumably T) prices up, and nobody's replaced it since what they have they use for defense and they don't bother making more typically - and it can't be looted from SPC. Fascinating - thank you .

The low level of E traded would also factor in. I would be willing to guess people trade T on a semi regular basis but rarely E.

People go in fits of HW buildings where they buy up E. If no one is in that mode then the market would stop where it is and sit there.
