Hi all! How many tech-II BPO's of each type are entered in game? Interesting quantity BPO's of ships, devices and ammo.

20 of pretty much everything
8 of a few mods, not ships (not sure exactly which ones)
50 of the ammo types

Its been said by devs on numerous occaisions (though mostly a long while ago). I'm sure someone who isn't going out in 10minutes can find one for you

To my knowledge this is not totally correct - and I am sure there will be a huge debate on this one for quite a while 
You are correct that MANY of the items have 20 BPOs.
You are also correct that there are a number of early release mods which only have 8 BPOs. However, there are also a number of "early release" ships which only have 8 too.
The ammo types are a little different.
For all missiles and rockets there are 20 of each type.
For all other ammo types there are 40 of each.

Hey, that's not bad spread out between what must be coming on for 150,000 players.

We used to have 8 of each way back in the early days, we now give at least 20 of each.
Patchnoted before the introduction of tech II ammo stated there would be 40 of each type of ammo.
Originally by: Wrangler - 2005.06.24 14:59:00
As Oveur has stated, many times, they keep a close eye on the tech 2 BPOs in game, they see how they are used or not used etc. If tech 2 BPOs gets inactive or lost, they make sure the agent system gives out another one
thought you might like that info too...

Wonder which they are. The only mod that comes into my mind with maybe only 8 BPOs could be the covert ops cloaking device, because you need an improved cloaking device II to build it ( and covert ops rarely got destroyed, at least before interdictors came )
An other candidate could be the logistic ships ?

It would have to be Ceptors, since they were the first T2 ships released, and the only ones available for many months.
By the time AFs came in there were many, many more players than the few thousand when Ceptors came out.

you are correct hippo, there are no ships limited to 8 releases, Interceptors were the first released ships, and there are more than 8 of each print.
From memory medium shield booster II and smartbombs were some of the first released mods, so i assume they're the most limited prints.
You should ask Femintaki about how many Micro Cap Battery II prints are in the game

Maybe they started with 8 and released more BPOs later. Don't believe that interceptors still have 8. There are so many interceptors destroyed each day.

True, but the build time on frigs is much more reasonable than on HACs, so it's much easier to replace them. There's also lots of BPCs, or at least there used to be.
But there probably are more than 8 of them.

you can pretty much safely assume it was never the Dev's intentions to make Tech II ships or equipement the 'standard' setup for the entire community.
Do you think some people will ever understand that? What do you know, add t2 bpos to the market and in one year people will cry for 10 guristas complex in every solar system so that everybody can get a cheap rattlesnake 
EDIT: On Topic: 8 BPOs for the first wave of Tech 2 (I dont recall ships being part of the first "wave", 20 afterwards and 40 for Ammo is correct.

This means that your BP is running at 66% maximum effeciancy? (1 ship, then one bpc built = same time it takes to make 3 ships), so your lowering the total amount of ares that can be produced in the galaxy per week, and driving Ares prices up?? Outragous |

Interceptors were in the first wave of BPOs to be introduced - I know cos I bought both an Ares & Taranis BPO, they were in the first 4 or 5 BPOs I bought. When I bought them - finding components to build them with was hard as hell. this was in February 2004. see post here

You're running your business less effectively on purpose, or havent you just realized that cpoying t2 bpos takes too long?

There must be hundreads of Miner II BPO out there, these were obtainable by grinding missions, which a lot of players did since Miner II modules were worth over 5m each and back then 5m isk was like 100m isk now, isk were A LOT harder to make
