There is something severely broken in the NPC cost for the BPOs for the ORE mining barges - especially when you take into account the cost of the Orca or Rorqual BPO.
The Retriever hovers about 0.9B ISK for the BPO, and has a manufacturing cost around 4m
The Covetor hovers about 2B ISK for the BPO, and has a manufacturing cost around 10m
The Orca hovers around 0.82B ISK for the BPO, and has a manufacturing cost around 300m
The Rorqual Hovers around 3B ISK for the BPO. and has a manufacturing cost around 1000m
Yes, I'm aware their are capital component needs for the Orca and Rorqual but the Coveter (and the more useless retriever) compared to any other ship in their area of manufacturing are significantly less. 30 - 40m cruiser class BPOs generate ships worth 5 - 10m each, but when it comes to the barges you're looking at an investment in isk you can't recoup for decades. It seems off balance.
Even if you invested in the Orca specifc capital component BPOs that's around 6B iSK more, but with a decent profit margin on the ship you can recoup that much faster than you can on a retriever or covetor.

Your point being? lots of cruiser class BPOs are needed for T2 ships and they don't cost billions. |

cruisers don't sell for 20mill per ship (as i recall the first one do not quite sure).
but sure, rebalance the sell price too match building price as other ships have

They do if people buy a ton for the expressed purpose of manufacturing Tech 2 Exhumers.

Nothing wrong with current barge BPO prices in myopinion, so no support.

If the BPO costs a lot, the markup is generally high. If the BPO costs a lot and the markup is low, just don't buy it. Yeah, they're expensive, but it doesn't seem like it needs a change.

Obviously people build them, or there'd be none. There are.
Obviously people make money doing so, or they wouldn't do so. They do.
Logical conclusion? No issue whatsoever exists.

This.
The market prices any/all build costs into the final ship price. (And BPC prices)
