Ok, Im wondering, lets say i want to get tech 2 ship BPs... I know that they seed the lottery with "prizes" Does that mean that the older T2 BPs are all gone and the only thing i have a chance to get are the "newly seeded prizes"? Does this mean that the only way to get say a T2 Battlecruiser BP would be to buy it from escrow?

Awhile back we got the 100mn MWD print when they shutdown 80 microminers. Not sure if it was new to the system then but I found it rather odd that we got it after that happened. Of course other T2 BPO's where put in the system at that time so I don't know if it was a old print or not.

if your research field says "nothing easy predictable" than you will not have a chance to win anything until something new is seeded. all that is given out, is out and can only be bought from other players, that had the luck to win. sometimes they seed "old stuff" simple caus its not out so far. once something is out, you will not get it anymore.

There is things you can do to improve your chances of getting tech 2 bpo. If you want a ship bpo, make sure you have a research agent doing Starship engineering. A bit obvious i know, but secondly make sure the version of starship engineering matches your race. I am amarr so i get a 3xRP bonus to amarr SS eng. This loyalty bonus also applies to ather things (can't remember them all now) for example a 2xLP bonus to Laser Physics for amarr.
Also increase the level of the science skill you have research in. I can't remeber the exact formula for RP earned as it's a long time since i started my projects, but there is extra points the higher the level of the matching science skill you have. This goes for your agent too. Your RProject is likely to run a very long time, so there is milage in doing a few extra missions to get access to a higher agent. Their skill level and quality all count. As i have said I cant remember the formula for RP, maybe someone who can will post here 
Running missions for R Agents can be lucrative in RP. Doubles the ammount of RP given for the day of the mission. This can get a bit drawn out though to be honest, so if you want to do this get an agent who is very close to your base of operations. Saves time and makes checking in on your agent easy.
Finaly you have to remember there are a lot of people doing RP missions, and only a relatively small number of prints, so you still need luck on your side. As mentioned above the only sure way is to dip into your pocket and buy a print.

If you go for starship, even with 6 agents, you should expect nothing, the probability of a win will still be very very small. Thats the price to be paid for having a return of a 30billion ISK BPO.

i have 11 level 4 gallente starship engeneering running, each with at least 190rp/day since the day lvl 4 agents are availible. that means, that, with several accounts and chars, i had no luck so far.
a corp mate scored last time at 130k rp in a single agent. if you start now, godd luck.

I was just wondering when offers of BPOs are made. Is it after dt, 24 hours after a mission, or totally random?

sour grapes maybe, but this is just unfair to newer players. Guess I had to be playing and paying 2 years ago to get a juicy expander print or something.
How does this system account for people who quit playing EVE and their bpos are basically out of the game? Or prints that someone accidentally destroys in a can, or that get blown up running a blockade or something? Are those modules then just no longer available?
Is this why there aren't any Expander II's or Nanofiber II's?

so far i never heared of a lost t2 bpo. ppl never carry that into dangerous areas. even if one or two of a kind gets lost there are more than one or two of each kind so that it doesnt really matter.
expander 2 and nanofiber 2 hasnt been seeded so far. one day someone will be lucky. and ppl with something like that dont just quit with the bpo lieing around. cant be.
overall i think ccp would seed them new if to many of a kind get lost, but that hasnt happen and will not happen soon(tm). on the other hand the player base raises very rapid. while a dozend of a bpo might have been enouph for 10k its not for 20k and 30k players. anyway, its good that not everyone can build t2.

I think b/c of the size of the player base they need ro re-seed some or put out a bunch of new ones.
