Am I correct in thinking the slot years spent on getting a capital BPO collection researched will now translate to savings of around 6%?
This seems pretty incredible.
How about if you are going to completely change the system you give us back all the research time and let us chose where it is spent? Much alike getting unallocated SP?

So what about those capital producers?
For doing the sensible thing we are now going to be rewarded with ME 100 compontent BPOs suddenly worth no more than a very basic BPO. Great.
The double whammy is our well optimized ME 2-6 capital hull BPOs will suddenly get a load of extra waste.
Sounds like this change didn't even consider some BPO types, I'd have liked to see some proper examples.
If not please give us all our research time in a pool to spend on patch day so the people who made the sensible decision in the past can make a new educated decision on where to spend it.

This is not a particularly smart idea. This will let you bootstrap an insane number of new blueprints to perfect status without having to do anything but scoop up unnecessarily high level BPOs.
Yeah sure it has some downsides, but why punish the players who haven't done anything silly and are, from the sounds of it going to get punished needlessly.
I really like the BPC changes but this ME TE stuff just seems to have a massive impact of a huge number of players just to dumb down a system is already extremely simple.

Greatly penalizes capital BPOs how?
I'm very alarmed that the consequences of this haven't already been considered.
Capitals are researched to low values ME 2-6, which gives great results currently but will see them having 5% waste post patch from my understanding.
Not to mention these levels have taken months to research and post patch will be the fastest to train.

There should not be "a load of extra waste", I am not sure where you're seeing that?
ME 2 = ~3% waste?
ME 2 = 8% post patch?
I just don't understand why such a trivially simple system needs to be changed. What is hard to understand about 0.1/(1+ME) really?

If you have an ME 2 blueprint pre-patch we will convert that into an ME 6%? blueprint on patch day. I need to go double-check my spreadsheet at work about this, it might be 7%. The goal is that all blueprints have the same or less waste after the change.
Ok that is reassuring. I am still confused as to why this new system is necessary
Is 0.1-(0.01*ME) a huge amount simpler than 0.1/(1+ME) I mean this seems to be a vast amount of dev work and change to the players for a benefit I don't really understand.
Other than the ME TE stuff a great dev blog though.
