they are, just buy them on market like everyone else has been doing for past 4 years

Remove your enter key from your keyboard. Alternatively, biomass yourself for being a failure and wasting our time with this post.

I would probably do that if they're being sold on the market

No...

The current invention system works and keeps prices high.

Those who have some old school bpo's - so be it... id rather those go too...

But t2 should never have bpo's

One example of a very expressive and picturesque way of speaking his opinion by a person who probably has a large number of T2 originals in the hangar, and of course does not suit him to increase number of original because I would have an impact on his earnings.
But I would still like to hear other people's opinion on this topic.
Even if CCP use my proposal in this form the most you can expect is to get one blueprint every year.

Well, maybe not to everyone, but at least everyone with a certain Skills level and right corp standings.
I'll try to explain what exactly I have in mind.
It has been some time since the ccp abolished the "lottery" where you could get any t2 BPO.
Whether you get them because of pure luck or providence of some higher power is not an issue to which I will go today.
The point is that they should be available to new players.
Take for example Co-Processor II Blueprint, to create a copy of the blueprint you need some equipment as: Datacore - Electromagnetic Physics and Electronic Engineering, Incognito Data Interface and copy of Co-Processor I Blueprint.
You also need some skills like science and electronics both at level 5, and some other at lower level like hacking, Electromagnetic Physics, Electronic Engineering and Gallente encryption methods.
What I propose is that people who have the necessary Skills and equipment be allowed to annually make one T2 BPO at an appropriate R&D agent, of whose corporations have required standing.
So for example if you want to make Co-Processor II Blueprint original you need this:
- several hundred Datacore both Electromagnetic Physics and Electronic Engineering( for ship BPO more than thousand of both type )
- both skills for Electromagnetic Physics and Electronic Engineering at level 5
- also science, hacking and electronics at level 5
- one original Co-Processor I Blueprint
- several copy of Co-Processor II Blueprint
- one Incognito Data Interface
- some type of tools like Stolen Formulas, Symbiotic Figures, Collision Measurements, Engagement Plan
- and od course ISK, lots of ISK ( for equipment and ammo several hundred million ISK, and for ships more than billion)
Once you have all the equipment and materials go to the right R&D agent ( one that have both skills with Electromagnetic Physics and Electronic Engineering ), provide him with all required equipment and materials and of course you pay him with ISK and he provide you with your blueprint, but you can only do this once a year and only with one R&D agent.

For you to say this...means you absolutely suck at invention and doing it wrong.

Hell

No.

What bothers me more is that its called "INVENTION", You can't invent something that ALREADY HAS BEEN CONCEIVED AND MADE!

Change the term invention to some other term. IT IS NOT INVENTION!

Where is that Akita T2 BPO mythbuster thread again...

I think the fact that T2 BPOs used in the construction of 50 million ISK ships sell for ~35 billion ISK sort of speaks for itself.

Reverse Enginerring?

Reverse engineering is what you do to an already-built item to determine how it works (this is done to sleeper wreckage in-game). What's being done with "invention" is that you take a BPO, add an existing dataset, and produce a modified blueprint. I'd say that's just plain "engineering".

yeah, but that's already used to get more PG

I would probably do that if they're being sold on the market

Reinstate lottery. +1
