Hi,
I just ran some invention jobs. I put in the datacores, a Retriever blueprint and an "Engagement Plan" decryptor.
For the two jobs that came out successful, I had Mackinaw blueprints with 2 Runs and ME -2.
Why did I get runs, when I expected to get 3 (1 base run for ships + 2 from the decryptor bonus) ?
I have found the decryptor description here and here.
Can somebody please explain to me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Benjamin

where you using a max run retriever bpc or a one run copy

I didn't check, because I thought that for ship the maximum value was always 1 run before decryptors.
I think it was an 1 run copy. Does this affect the final number of runs? and if it does, in what way?
Thanks,
Benjamin

You only get the full runs if you're using max run BPC to invent from. If not, you'll lose a run from the resulting BPC but since there is a minimum of 1 run this doesn't matter UNLESS you're using run bonus decryptors.
So my guess is you were inventing from a BPC that was a one run (well, not max runs anyway) copy.
Ninjaedit: I think the complete formula is:
Output Runs = min(max( round down ( (InputBPCRuns / T1MaxRunsPerBlueprintCopy) * (T2MaxRunsPerBlueprintCopy / 10) + DecryptorRuns ), 1), T2MaxRunsPerBlueprintCopy)

I thought the Max Run applied only to ammo and modules. Invented T2 BPC's would turn out the same regardless of max run or 1 run bpc.
I believe back in December I ran a batch of Invention jobs on Max Run Rifter bpc's looking for better than 1 run bpc's of Wolf and Jaguar bpc's and got only the 1 run bpc.
If anyone has recently run Max Run ship bpc's for Invention I'd like to know.

If you are using a decrptor that gives bonus runs then you also need a Max run BPC or you lose a run.
The Important part in the formula Millimage posted is:
(InputBPCRuns / T1MaxRunsPerBlueprintCopy) * (T2MaxRunsPerBlueprintCopy / 10)
(lets call that baseT2runs)
For rigs and ships this can be at most 1 since T2MaxRunsPerBlueprintCopy is 10
For Ammo, Drones and Modules this can be 10 since T2MaxRunsPerBlueprintCopy 100
So for rigs and ships if you use a 1 run T1 BPC, then 0<baseT2runs <1 which rounds down to 0. But we are guaranteed 1 run so we get a 1 run T2 BPC. If you use a max run T1 bpc then baseT2runs = 1... and you get a 1 run T2 BPC.
Now if we use a decrptor with a one 1 run T1 BPC, then 0<baseT2runs <1. Add the DecryptorRuns then you get:
"DecryptorRuns <baseT2runs+DecryptorRuns <1+baseT2runs <1"
which rounds down to DecryptorRuns.
With a max run T1 BPC then baseT2runs = 1 add the DecryptorRuns and you get a T2 BPC with DecryptorRuns+1 runs on it.
So the ONLY time you should use a 1 run T1 BPC is when you are inventing a ship or a rig WITHOUT a decryptor, or you lose a run.

I understand, next time I will use a max run bpc. Thanks for taking the time to explain to me.

For a breakdown on the math on this, see my post here:

Hi there
I think your problem is that you installed (either by error or Eve doing silly buggers) the wrong decryptor
The galante ME -2 decryptor is Test Reports, which will give you +1 to the runs (for a total of -2)
Engagement plan will give you 3 runs at -3 ME
So if you do have the BPCs at -2 ME, then Test reports have been used and the 2 runs is correct
Cheers
Dafydd

Erm... You are right, but I have typed it wrong here on the forums, the actual ME is -3 and not -2.
So I think the posters above have the truth of it, I probably didn't use a full run BPC, because I didn't know it would make any difference. Now I know it does, so when using decryptors I will use only full runs BPC's.
Thanks anyway,
Benjamin
