K, I'm in a hurry, can't read up all 20 pages of comments, gotta catch a plane to Iceland :)
Now:
1) building a T2 drone directly at a POS. And set.
The industry skill gives 20% buildtime reduction, The POS drone assembly array 25%, for a total buildtime of 0.60*Base
And I can leave the BPO safely in station, as right now even the cheapest T2 done bpo's (Acolyte) cost nearly 100B isks.
After this patch:
1) Copy the T2 bpo for a total bonus of 25% => 0.75* Base
2) Move the bpc's to pos
3) build the drones
So this proposal gets me 20% less drones at triple the micromanagement!
Not really an improvement of either "hassle" and value.
My 2 cents.

Doesn't that speed increase improve all of the inventors as well as they copy T1 BPOs? And since you can have many T1 BPOs on infinity copy slots (provided its worth paying the premiums detailed in the costs dev-blog) inventors enjoy vast production capacity expansion over T2 BPO holders by many factors of 6.25%
is the copy time involved with invention so insignificant that the gains in copy time are net-zero because of other factors? I doubt it.
You forget one thing: right now I can build T2 drones directly at the POS with the BPO in station. I get 0.75 timefactor on the drone assembly array and 0.8 timefactor due to my production skilllevel, together that gives a 0.60 timefactor.
The new setup changes this to a 0.75 timefactor on copy speed, after which production time is irrelevant due to parrallel jobs
I lose 1-0.6/0.75 = 0.2 = 20% drones produced per unit time.
I'm in agreement that T2 BPO's are an artefact that should be gone from the game. I also just spent 90B isks on an acolyte II drone BPO. That BPO just lost 18 Billion isks in value, or about 2 years of gaming worth in plexes....... |

They should be removed. For maximum CCP trollage this should be done lottery style.
They aren't buffed, the new copyspeed pays out 20% less production runs than current production yields units at a pos
