Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2008.09.30 21:31:00 - [1] I've been digging around in the data dump, getting an idea of how it works, and learning a small amount of SQL in the process. I'd known for some time that certain blueprints can be copied very quickly compared to the time it takes to build from them directly, and that this can save a considerable amount of isk vs. buying additional BPOs, albeit at the expense of copy slots. I never realised quite how pervasive this property was, and if anyone else has been aware then they've been keeping very quiet about it. It turns out that more than 500 blueprints benefit from this approach, with savings of over 100m isk (in terms of extra 'virtual BPOs' worth of production) in at least 120 cases. Here are a few of the most ridiculously over-efficient BPOs: NameVirtual BPOsBasepriceSaving Thor Torpedo I Blueprint40.031.0E+084.0E+09 Purgatory Torpedo I Blueprint40.039.0E+073.6E+09 Rift Torpedo I Blueprint40.038.0E+073.2E+09 Doom Torpedo I Blueprint40.037.0E+072.8E+09 Concussion Bomb Blueprint11.312.0E+082.3E+09 Scorch Bomb Blueprint11.312.0E+082.3E+09 Shrapnel Bomb Blueprint11.312.0E+082.3E+09 Electron Bomb Blueprint11.312.0E+082.3E+09 Focused Warp Disruption Blueprint40.035.0E+072.0E+09 Lockbreaker Bomb Blueprint11.311.5E+081.7E+09 Void Bomb Blueprint11.311.5E+081.7E+09 Multifrequency XL Blueprint40.034.0E+071.6E+09 Gamma XL Blueprint40.033.5E+071.4E+09 Mining Drone I Blueprint64.642.0E+071.3E+09 Radio XL Blueprint40.033.0E+071.2E+09 Xray XL Blueprint40.032.5E+071.0E+09 Gas Cloud Harvester I Blueprint23.624.0E+079.4E+08 Curator I Blueprint64.641.4E+079.0E+08 Warden I Blueprint64.641.4E+079.0E+08 Garde I Blueprint64.641.4E+079.0E+08 Bouncer I Blueprint64.641.4E+079.0E+08 It goes without saying that this is a bad thing, as it potentially allows a single BPO to saturate the entire market for some of the affected items. I'm pretty sure that this wasn't an intended effect, and it's already been removed from certain T2 blueprints. --- DIY copying in Liekuri 20:1 mineral compression Eve Online folding@home team
