I took some of your text and added my thoughts in bold-italic ...
Originally by: Bad Bobby The way I see it, selecting output is not a good answer.
1. One of each type of subsystem is going to be in much higher demand than all the others. 2. The price for all the inputs to reverse engineering will be set by the profit to be made by the most popular subsystem. 3. Nobody in their right mind is going to select anything but the most popular subsystem to reverse engineer unless it is for personal use. 4. Reverse engineering would adapt and produce subsystems by demand, spreading the fixed cost of input materials over all outcomes evenly - all subsystems would nearly cost the same - and thus wouldn't need any further intervention by ccp.
Originally by: Bad Bobby Making all the subsystems "equally good" is unlikely, but it's what we should really be aiming for.
1. One of each type of subsystem is always going to be in much higher demand than all the others. 2. The price for all the inputs to reverse engineering will be set by the profit to be made by the average result. 3. All subsystem BPCs get created regardless of how poor they may be. 4. Reverse engineering causes that the cost of input has to be made back with only a hand full of subsystems which then are roughly 3 times more expensive then needed and thus causing T3 to take much longer to be a reasonable investment to fly anywhere except for where its ueber. 5. As ccp takes ages to balance FOTM T3 will be kneejerked forever.

What about the waste product BPCs that are produced
.. see 4 posts above WHAT happens..
"Anybody else starting to get T3 subsection BPCs piling up that are simply not worth using? There is no point making the subsection if you can't sell the ones already made."
"I have a stockpile of the bp's starting to pile up as well. 3 powercore mulltipliers ,2 cpu gates ,2 cloak ,and 2 fuel catalyst. Anyone wanna do some trading of bps? lol"
Originally by: Bad Bobby My bet, is that they will still find their way onto the market at below cost price. For me, the availability of the less popular T3 subsystem BPCs at bargain prices is more important than the availability of the popular T3 subsystems at reasonable prices.
How's that gonna happen? If you look at the material requirements to build those subsystems, you'll see that they use the same for the same subsystem class.
So we get at least 5 subsystems per race that are in demand and if ccp did it right.. is at least 5 times the supply in materials possible from w-space.. so, now when the demanded bpc get the money (as they're wanted they will be most expensive), the materials will become cheap (oversupply).. no one then bothers going for them.. overall price rise until the demand by those rare subsystems (1/5th of the estimated) makes it profitable enough to get them again..
Dunno how that's going to bring T3 at reasonable prices, as for this we need full supply of the materials, not just 1/5th.

My point exactly.
And the price for the materials to build these bargain-bpc also goes down? I wonder why the bpc-creators then have obviously problems to sell the finished bargain-product... |
