Eddz is right, it's just pure and simply broken.
When I heard about it, I was looking forward to perhaps putting in time and effort to get some ship bpc's via invention, thinking that at least even if it's incredibly ineffiecient, I've managed to do it for myself, and for the most part, it'll probably still be cheaper than market price.
T2 production is already limiting with most of the extra components are player made anyway (well, they are now thanks to the agents no longer giving out certain rewards), so there's supply and demand there (think back to the RAM issues of last year). Invention should put more limits on (which it does) and thats only getting a bpc before you move to production.
Rp for datacores is fine (maybe dropped a little down from 1500), that already adds an artifical limit to how much you can produce, the fact that you cant realistically get a data interface to even start is rediculous considering the limits on first getting a bpc then building from the damn thing.
Apart from my personal view that the agents should be helping to fix the t2 market by giving items/bpcs as rewards in the first place (like they do with Af's and inties already, maybe ccp can fix this when they give us the choice to choose our rewards with the LP we have), data interfaces should be much more accessable, possibly even finite in the amount of times they can be used, their components should at least be more widely available (hell, imo cosmos shouldnt even be involved at all) via exploration, or even tied into salvaging.
Considering that bpo holders will always have the upper hand on bpc producers for t2 items (no cost to get bpo, better me/pe and faster production *due not having to get materials for another bpc* = bigger profit margins), I dont see what the problem is with making invention accessable to more people.
And besides, more t2 production going on benefits the producers of the items needed for t2 production (ala, the pos owners), as it stands, that market is limited by the fact that only a certain amount of production can be going on at one time (thanks to there only being 20 bpo of each type and the time limits on each build *okay, more now due to reseed of everything*)
As it stands, I'll never ever produce anything from a t2 bpc unless my gal navy agent decides to give me an ares/ranis bpc to use.
