Ok so you know when you invent a t2 bpc and under the bills of materials tab there is 2 tabs, researching material and researching time. what are these used for? Like i have all the skills required but it doesnt let me. it says, me and pe research can only be done on origionals and not copies. any help would be great. |

ME/PE research can only be done on BPOs. it's been that way forever.
BPC are essentially BPO with a "is copy = TRUE" flag set, so the game just pulls all the info/details of the BPO insofar as the tab details shown. |

You cannot increase ME and PE on copies of blueprints. From invention you only get copies. |

yes i understand that you cannot research me and pe on copies and only on bpo's and thank you for ur responses :) but then my question is.
why even bother having those 2 tabs on bpc's to begin with? Whats the point for R.O.B. devices and such? |

All blueprints have those tabs - period.
Just because it's a BPC it doesn't change the fact that it's a blueprint. Given that they somehow managed to finally differentiate between the icon for the BPC and the icon for the BPO it might be possible to make that differentiation at the level of the tabs... but I for one kinda like to have the information, even if it is not relevant to the BP at hand.
Yeah I'm an information hog! |

The only information that is relevant on a T2 BPC is the manufacturing information. Everything else is pointless. T2 BPCs can't be invented off of, or have their ME/PE increased in any way. |

S&I is desperately in need of an overhaul imo, especially the "blueprint->install job" part with all the nonsense appearing when you right click...
PVPers get what they want - industrialists, we make due. |

That information is their in case you own a T2 BPO, and want to do research on it. It's easier to give a BPC all the info on a BPO then to filter out only needed info.
And yes, all of S&I needs a ground up re-write, but we're not likely to see it any time soon. |
