Hm..
At the moment every bunny and hotty out there with RP's from an agent is waiting to get a BPO out of the lottery (me included ;)
->
This causes, that the needed datacores for invention are so expensive at the moment. *Myself has started some agents and has got 13.000 RP's now.. I know nothing compared to others, but I wouldn't want to waste them now on datacores (10m buyout isn't enough), when there's a slight chance for some BPO* Doesn't look like CCP has thought of this behavior by now.
->
This naturally affects the t2 market, as invention at the moment is to expensive and the only steady t2 supply comes from the BPO holders FOR a growing community - progreesing with their skills of being able to use t2-gear.
This HAS TO rise prices, everything else would be very scary! Demand is simply rising by "nearly" constant supply..
****
Ok, now on to another story.. My corp has some BPO's up to cruisers for gallente, so if anything above (BC/BS) or from other races needs to be built (we save 10% margin by this) I have to go OUT and GET A BPC for this item.. I even run a production with this method and make a margin by selling this stuff on market and can compete with the others..
So, for my part I see no problem with basing t2-production completely on BPC's as I really would like to build some of this stuff for my corpmates.. they allways ask me for t2 stuff, but I can't get a BPC for it and won't waste my RP's by now (the other stuff for invention isn't affordable by us anyways).
But you HAVE TO STOP THE LOTTERY for this - as nobody with a brain will supply the market with cheap datacores (competition). And you have to turn t2-BPO's into BPC in a not to distant future, as keeping a t2 production running with BPC's only isn't a problem IF THERE IS ENOUGH supply of BPC's. They'll get offered, they'll find buyers and they'll make their way to the production.. BUT THEY NEED TO BE THERE in RECONIZABLE AMOUNTS!
Create a smooth transition for the BPO's turning into BPC's.. a year would be perfect and stop those damn lottery NOW, as it makes invention to expensive as long as it lasts!
My 2 cents Fren .
