Hi!

I just tried to research a bunch of blueprints and noticed that there are huge differences in installing cost which I'm unable to explain.

I'm currently researching ME 9 to 10 on two BPOs. Same system, same facility, installed both at once. One is a Medium Ancillary Current Router I Blueprint, the other is a Medium Trimark Armor Pump I Blueprint. On the ACR Blueprint, the job cost was ~2.3m ISK, on the Trimark the job cost was ~670k. The only difference between the Blueprints is that the ACR Blueprint has TE already done to 20%, whilst the Trimark Blueprint is still at TE 0. However, I haven't found any mention of the overall "researchedness" of the blueprint in any of the formulas. They also both take the same time to research.

Where does the difference in job cost come from? And how am I able to see that at a glance? The tooltip only shows me the system cost index and tax.

You can't see that "at a glance" without trying to install the blueprint. If you want the long explanation, check out my thread "All Industry Formulas for Crius".

The short explanation is that the base job cost is calculated using the market prices of the materials required for manufacturing, which in this case would be

Quote:

Medium Ancillary Current Router I Blueprint 3,692,825.0338 ISK
Medium Trimark Armor Pump I Blueprint 1,065,187.6627 ISK

Which explains the factor 3 difference.

I saw your pdf, but only looked at ME/TE research, I didn't notice that job installation cost was a seperate point further down... doh. Anyway, thanks for explaining :)
