Google didn't give me an answer and i can't seem to find it on the forum.

What will happen to blueprints that are in the progress of a job (being it research, copying, manufacturing) when the changes to POS's occur with the launch of Crius.

Will they remain in station where they were installed from, or will the be moved into the pos arrays automatically?

I know new jobs will need the BPO inside the POS after the launch of Crius, just curious on what happens to jobs in progress.

So the way I read this is that all of the BPO's my corp owns must be placed in the POS for copy/research and will be at risk for attack?

This is an excessive risk in BPO isk that has taken my corp many years to assemble over the years for easy taking. CCP is forcing high sec corps to expose billions if not trillions of isk in BPO's without any way to protect the investment but a simple POS.

The argument is defend the POS but most high sec industrial corps are well..........industrialists.

Just my two cents and we will not expose our BPO's in open space.

If you had actually the intelligence to amass "trillions of isk in BPOs" or even billions you'd realize how futilely easy it is to safeguard your BPOs in a POS.


Not that I doubt that you have the hundreds of lines to run your collection all at once

Wait. And I apologize in advance if I missed something here, but if my corp bpo's are at station that has no copy or research facilities will I now have to unlock all of my blueprints in order to move them to get them copied (or otherwise researched)?

By any chance is there a change to the process of locking and unlocking blueprints? I don't know if I can deal with unlocking and locking again.

The blueprints will go back to where they originally came from, but new jobs will require the blueprints to be installed inside the POS.

A followup question: What will happen to the jobs themselves? Will they finish according to the "old" mechanics (i.e. honor the accepted quote)?

EDIT: If the job finishes according to the pre-Crius mechanics, I take it that the BPO will be converted to new ME/TE numbers immediately upon completion? Or how would that be handled?

prob this question was already made somewhere but let's say that now i place a job of 1 week time, crius will come sooner than the job finish, what it'll happen to the job?

-it'll end when the week will finish?
-it'll end but it's not finished so i get mats back or the unresearched bpo back?
-it'll end and the bpo is researched (or the itme is built)?

You are correct. This information will be in the patch notes, but for your convenience here it is:

Jobs installed or active during Crius deployment are dealt in the following manner:

• Jobs that were installed before the patch still use the old pricing and time until delivered
• Blueprints that are using Starbases remotely will be delivered to the station they were installed into, not the Starbase. This is a one-time only move, blueprints inserted after Crius will need to be moved to Starbases

That is beyond ridiculous.

Why do CCP want me to get carpal tunnel syndrome?

One little question as I've just put some BPOs in to copy...

What happens to BPOs that are queued up and have not started copying?

so.. for example if my Imicus blueprint is queued but not due to start copying until after Crius?

Cheers.
