The more I look into this invention stuff , the more I'm starting to think it is a waste of time. I've done the rounds to my R&D agents and got myself some datacores... All my R&D happens to be in the same field so I'm going to have to trade with someone for a different type of datacore  I've got plenty of named items and bpc's, but.... Data Interfaces? No. Decryptors? No. So I start training astrometrics to lvl 5 to find a god-knows-how-difficult complex in which I may or may not find the parts I need if I manage to drag my corpmates along to help me on my (fruitless?) task.... <-Panting
OK. So imagine I do all that and manage to get some limited run T2 bpc. Then imagine I fly around and find all the T2 components I need (no doubt at exorbitant prices).
Now tell me why I didn't just do a mission or two, or kill a few rats in 0.0 and buy the T2 mods I need?
Am I missing something here? Is it actually worth it?
I would love to hear from someone that has done the whole process and actually produced some Tech 2.

I too am quite annoyed with the Interfaces thing.
My science/industry alt has maxed out skills on his research fields and yet I can't make an invention because I can't get an Interface. What even bugs me more is that he is in a tech II production corp with a VERY good network for acquisition of components and that between the 15 of us none of us are able to find the interfaces because we don't operate in lowsec and even if we did, none of those characters have any combat skills to speak off.
Now if I understand it correctly these interfaces will not be consumed when trying to invent something, so maybe just maybe, at some point in the far future, we will be able to buy them off of the market at exorbitant prices but still, what's the point then aside from the drag?

I have spent hours hacking in a Data bank, and eventually found the encryption Methods skillbook that is needed for Invention of items/ships/rigs based on the race in question. Since the Revelations patch, I have continued to hack and hack, but even after more than 100 spawn containers still no data interface, although I have found plenty of decryptors.
It looks to me that the interfaces can only be found in hidden exploration sites and not at the public Cosmos plexes. So now I am skilling up to do just that.
Invention will be very profitable on a select few items like cloaks, DCs, HACs and of course rigs. But the initial investment may take 10 succesful Invention jobs to pay itself back. The Data Interfaces are the bottleneck we have to overcome. Guess the first one to hit the Jita market will go for 1 bil or more
