My experience is that the invention system has been released but not properly intergrated into community use. No matter how many skill points I have in science, I feel like I'm playing a slot machine rather than being rewarded for preperation, skill and time investment. Invention = It's VEGAS BABY!
Its working well im getting richer. At the moment its abt 300-400m/day if i actually invent.

or convert the existing T2 BPOs into 1000 run bpc and let invention take over from the BPOs.
Now imo, that is the fairest option for inventors but bpo holders will hate it.
Sure - if you cover the difference between isk got for 1000runs and cost of BPO itself. Then i might go for it.

I dont see the need for the elimination of TII BPO's i think its petty jealousy between n00b and Vet and those that fell that its some way their god given right to content that was available BEFORE they were able to join in.
it was my 3rd birthday recently and i missed at least 2 rounds of the lottery befor i joined in. I never managed to get a BPO and when my alt had 7k RP he did but due to a small issue he couldnt collect it and therefore could not claim it.
Im still less than 3 years old character-wise (this being my main) and yet I managed to accumulate abt 130-150k RPs here = some BPOs. So talking abt "vet that got stuff before you were able to" is just bull.
And yes - the "new" newbs cant play lottery anymore - but invention gets enough iskies to remove the BPO holder advantage. And if you REALLY need to get BPO - pay for it like most ppl did anyways. And then hope you can make it back in 1-2 years (like all who bought em did).

Back on topic. in one of my chans we were discussing the increased Sleipnir prices and started looking at the base build cost and your cost to invent. Its very easy to see why prices have spiked to 200mil as the cost to invent them is pretty high and thats before you fail
Prices spiked mostly due to 50/50 invention succes on em and not many inventors (after 1st batches of inventor-craziness on command ships). Wait till rev3 and you will see prices drop quite a lot (i guess the prices will go down till 130mil or so).
As for t2 BS - it is a good experimentation field for invention. They will be ONLY invention based, so NOONE will be able to say thay "BPO holders are undercutting prices" and crap like that.

It was necessary to keep BPOs in the game as a transitional measure to make sure the t2 market didnt crash, but now that invention is in full effect it is obvious that we do not need tech 2 bpos anymore in order to keep the market stable.
75mm railguns
gatling lasers
small t2 ammo
javelin rockets
Just some random items which are CHEAPER thanks to BPOs. Remove BPOs, those items will go from 0,1mil to 1,5-2mil/piece.
