Victor Valka Caldari Kissaki Corporation	Posted - 2009.03.11 07:09:00 - [1] Edited by: Victor Valka on 11/03/2009 07:09:48 I looking for some assurance from my peers on this forum, that the method I use for calculating the cost of producing 1 run of T2 BPC is correct and takes everything it should into account. I use the following formula: (((dc1_cost + dc2_cost) * size_mult + decrypt_cost + meta_cost) / BPC_runs) * (1 / success_chance) The variables are reasonably self-explanatory. So. Great Success or not? Edit: Forgot one variable. Originally by: Spaztick You are not outnumbered, you are in a target-rich environment.
Julian Greenwood	Posted - 2009.03.11 07:55:00 - [2] seems correct, except for the missing station costs (if doing it in a station)
Sigras	Posted - 2009.03.11 08:08:00 - [3] yeah that looks right . . . just dont forget fuel and or slot cost
Lord Fitz Project Amargosa	Posted - 2009.03.11 08:40:00 - [4] Looks fine, provided you adjust your success chance when you change decryptor, and also take into account what the decryptor does to the build cost. Not always is having a lower invention cost better.
Victor Valka Caldari Kissaki Corporation	Posted - 2009.03.11 08:40:00 - [5] Originally by: Sigras yeah that looks right . . . just dont forget fuel and or slot cost Those get deduced from monthly profit as operational cost. Thanks for feedback so far! Originally by: Spaztick You are not outnumbered, you are in a target-rich environment.

Not always is having a lower invention cost better. I invent modules and I don't use decryptors for that (Should I?). The variable is there to make the formula more flexible, in case I decide to move forward to ship invention. Originally by: Spaztick You are not outnumbered, you are in a target-rich environment.
Lord Fitz Project Amargosa	Posted - 2009.03.11 11:26:00 - [7] I haven't come across a case where it would be worth using a decryptor in module invention, doesn't mean there isn't one though. For ships it can make quite a difference to build cost as well as invention cost. Some invented items the BPC is worthless because the savings you make by going to a BPC with better ME are greater than the invention cost ;)
