Ok guys, silly question time...

I have noticed that the T2 BPC's that I invent have tabs for ME, PE and Copying? Why is this so when it is not possible to do this with BPCs? Is it some residual anomaly left over from earlier days in the game?? Im confused?

In the database, BPOs and BPCs are considered to be the same item. BPCs have a finite number of runs available. BPOs have a flag for infinite runs available.

So that is why when you show info on a BPC you get all the information for copying and researching the BPO.

Similarly, if you show info on a T1 BPO, you will get the information for inventing the BPC.

so the info its showing is what it would be to research that item if I had it as a T2 BPO?

correct. As it's a BPC though, those tabs don't mean anything.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
