Just a little confusion on my part.
Will the Tech 1 Orginal Blueprints purchased through the NPC market still be functional after the release of Tech 2?
Will the equipment produced with Tech 1 Orginals still be operational?
Will the Tech 1 Orginals be able to be upgraded to the Tech 2 class?

Don't be ****ed, you will notice that you NEED tech one eq, if you want to get tech 2 eq. So for a manufacturer you will need BOTH a tech one bp and a tech 2 bp. First produce the tech one item then upgrade. I don't see any problem.
Of course you could just go NPC farming and get a bunch of items but why would manufacturers want to fight?

Who said they weren't? Am I really so misguided to think that there shouldn't be a way to upgrade my BP?
Don't answer that, I don't want to know

People are working real hard on research agent missions to try and get a T2 BP. Even then it is luck of draw. If your BP were upgraded to T2, what would be the point of all that hard work to secure the ONLY original T2 BP in the game.
Your BP are not worthless when a T2 version comes out.
1) T2 is very expensive expect 10X price of a T1 item initially. So there will still be a market for T1 stuff.
2) All T2 items require T1 item as component. So to build 1000 T2 Medium Shield Booster will require 1000 T1 Medium Shield Boosters.

Well, it was my original understanding that you could upgrade your TL1 bp thru, you guessed it, a research agent. Hey, never mind.

Nope, but tech1 bps will Retain there value, tech2 is always going to be expensive, and alwasy require a tech1, and tech3 will always require tech 2 and so on.
What this does is help produce dependancy, which believe it or not is a GOOD thing, someone with a tech2 bp, may decide to produce all the tech1 componets themsevles, but they can also buy it in as another research, as the supply chain grows longer, its all good
no you can;t upgrade bps, that would be silly, thou not much mor siller than the current tech2 bp system.
tech1 items will still be in as much demand as they are now, either as direct sale or as componets, in fact tech2 will require them in such numbers, even loot tech1 items, low grade stuff will proberley we worth selling

I don't think there will be many issues. Tech 1 stuff will still exist and continue to function.
As construction of Tech 2 ships requires the hull of a tech 1 equivalent which is modified, then the builders of tech 1 stuff will still have their market, and builders of tech 2 stuff should have a supply available to them, etc.
Consumables still will likely be consumables. Ammunition, missiles, etc. I know that Tech 2 missiles will exist, but no idea about ammunition. I think its pretty constant, with only the turrets changing, but I wouldn't quote me on that
