A friend of mine just made a very costly mistake of selling an obelisk BPO thinking it was a BPC
I think it would be extremely useful if BPC had a number box in the top right corner that indicated the number of runs and looks exactly like the counter found in the bottom right of stacked items.

Do a search and find out why it cant be done.
Hint.. has to do with the way DB works and draws on information.

Come on, it is not like the game doesnt know the difference already, since you get the information through the S&I interface.
So kill that old flawed argument.

How about a color change...
Blue = Original Green = Copy
Or some such variation. *** "Some would call me a Demon. Others, a Vampire. But if the truth be told, I'm a child of the moon and a Goddess among men." Free pint of blood for the Dev who agrees |

Compared to loading hangars, the S&I interface is rarely loaded. The DB calls from loading up Original/Copy every time a hangar is opened would be vastly greater. This is not to say the idea can't happen, or won't happen, it just means the system would have to be changed to make it happen efficiently. -------------------- ICE Blueprint Sales FIRST!! -Yipsilanti Pfft.

This has been mentioned so many times. I for one think it is time CCP did something about it. It would be a lot of work, I understand, but I am willing to wait for it.
Also, isn't this in commonly proposed ideas by now?

I agree even if this is hard to implement its time for them to attempt to figure it out. This has bothered me right from the 1st week of making copies off a bpo years back.
If its a matter of the game having a hard time trying to read data from inside the bpc/bpo file the EASY way to correct this problem is to treat it the same way tech II bpc/bpo are identified with a lil tech II logo. Its as simple as changing hte rules of how the game handles bpos/bpc's. How about from this point forward just add the last name - BPC after the name when they come out of research (ignore all old bpc's and ignore all current bpo's so there is no need to deal with that.) Now with all blueprints that get generated with a "- BPC" name after wards... give it a unique color or icon to denote thats its copy.
There will be a period of time where old bpc's and bpo's will be "iconically" confused for one another.. but its as simple as just being alert to buying/selling/usage of bpo's/bpc's until finally all the old bpc's are weeded out of game. You will always have exploiters looking to cash in.. but for people who work with bpo's/bpc's this topic has been overlooked for far to long.
If not this solution.. something needs to be done.. im in favor of getting it done whatever it takes.

agreed, there is no excuse .. the infomation can easily be pulled once from the server and cached locally to avoid any load issues. I realize the runs counter is wishful thinking. but at least an earmark / watermark or color change would be simple enough. I would be happy to write the code for them if necessary.
