What's a shame is that the T1 BPC's ME/PE level has on influence on the T2 BPC ME/PE level - which would let inventors (who arguably do a lot more work to compete) with the T2 BPO owners.
It would have to be a rather large conversion rate though - maybe the sqrt() or cube root of the input ME to calculate the output ME, or divide the input ME by 10 to get the output ME. Probably square root would work best as it would scale rather badly and you'd never be able to get perfect ME on your T2 BPCs without over-researching your T1 BPO for a few months.
Output ME = -5 + Int(Sqrt(Input ME))
To get to ME 30 on an output T2 BPC, you'd need a T1 BPC with an ME of 1225. To get an ME of 10 on the T2 BPC, you'd need an ME of 225 on the input BPC. Or the use of a decryptor (which would still be an option).
It would add some spice to the calculations - do you research the BPO to ME 100 and get T2 BPCs with an ME of 5? Or do you go higher and shoot for an ME of 10 on the result? |

Another question, why is the price for veld mining crystal II so low?
Almost of the T2 mining crystals are that way. Mostly because the BPO owners can keep up with demand enough to drive the prices way below what it costs to invent them. Big loss item for an inventor, moderate profit for a BPO owner - and probably too easy to flood the market with over-supply.
Veld - 258k invent 58k sell
Scor - 287k invent 75k sell
Kernite - is the closest to breaking even (410k invent, 404k sell) of the hi-sec crystals. Everything else is 30-70% below invention costs.
Of the low-sec ores, only the Hedb crystal is worth inventing. In the null-sec ores, Spod and Ark.
There's a few low-volume products out there (like T2 mining crystals) where the BPO owners can have an impact. But most other invention stuff is profitable, the BPO owners just have better margins. (In other words... do your homework before you buy BPOs and run off lots of BPCs.) |

Big loss item for an inventor, moderate profit for a BPO owner - and probably too easy to flood the market with over-supply. My question should be: Why si the price for veld mining crystal II so low when T2 BPOs have no or very low impact on markets (like ppl mentioned here)? uff my english is bad sorry 
Because that's one of the markets where demand is low enough that a T2 BPO owner can make enough per week to keep up with demand. (There's not many like that, but where they exist - inventors can't compete - not that there would be much profit anyway.) |
