These ships will currently enter like all other Tech 2 has entered the economy. Through the lottery and of course inventable.
So the Lottery was phased out, and now it's restarted. Ensue much whinage...
And then Oveur ruined my fun by editing the DevBlog again...

So there will be no more BPO Lottery, assumptions were correct. No forum whinage required.

neh sorry but until the lottery was actually removed from the game you shouldn't assume its pointless.
I didn't assume anything.

You assumed the lottery was phased out. :)
That was the general assumption, seeing as Oveur stated as much (although you could argue he was just talking about the current remaining rounds).

Just to confirm what was said in a January DevBlog:
Originally by: Oveur
How do we then get blueprint originals in the future?
The short answer, is that you don't. When we transition over to Invention, we would accelerate the last blueprint lotteries. It's only fair that the ones that are already scheduled to go out be delivered. But say that we do the transition in Revelations 1.4, we would be accelerating the current schedule by 4 months. After that, Invention - the player driven way to achieve Tech 2 blueprint copies would be the only way to get into Tech 2.
Still, one wouldn't want to assume too much.

But oh boy my previously two years of RP's that was cashed in - now back to zero that feel a bit... dissapointing tbh if the lottery starts again, but oh well.
Unless they were Starship Datacores most of the time you'd probably have come out better having cashed in than winning a BPO.

I can see where your coming from but... tbh it ain't over until the fat lady sings... and as the lottery wasn't ever actually removed after 1.4 was a big sign they weren't completely following that statement.
Indeed. I don't even feel that strongly about it, to be honest. I was hoping someone would, though.

That has got to be the quickest devblog correction I've ever seen
I find it unacceptable, quite frankly. It should be revised to the original edit allowing us two days of forum drama before eventually being corrected to reflect the truth.
