How does the initial ME level of the Tech I BPO affect the ME level of the invented Tech II BPC? (if at all)
Essentially, is it worth research the BPO up further in order to get a better tech II BPC or do the two not relate? |

The ME and PE are entirely unrelated. The only quality that affects invention is the number of runs remaining, as that can affect the number of runs on the t2 bpc |

The ME level of the T1 BPC has no effect on the ME level of the T2 BPC, so there is no need to research your T1 BPO if all you are going to do is make copies and invent.
The T1 item is usually used in the manufacture of the T2 item (exception, ammo.)
So you may want to do some ME research on the BPO for manufacturing. However, you could decide to buy all of your T1 items from the market. There is usually very little markup on T1 items, and it may not be worthwhile to use your manufacturing slots on those items when you could be using them on T2. So that is not required.. |

Viable alternative - buy the T1 item off the market and forget about needing to research ME/PE altogether.
(NB: As an aside - OP you have my vote on the most convincing "I really could use a cup of coffee right now" look on a toon) |

Only way to affect the ME level of the BPC is by use of decryptors. These are generally not worth using. There are some situations where this isn't the case, however. Somewhere you'll need to run the numbers. FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator and other 'useful' utilities. |

There are scenarios where they're worth it. But with a great many cases, they're not. The common tech 2 modules you'd buy off the market? (shield hardeners, nanos, that kind of thing) They eat into your profit margin. Which means, not worth using.
I did say, run the numbers, and that it wasn't always the case. FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator and other 'useful' utilities. |
