Hello all,

I understand why BPCs aren't available on the common market and must be contracted. However, there are a lot of BPCs that are dropped by rats or attained by missions or LP stores that have set Material and Production Efficiencies. I see no reason that these blueprints shouldn't be introduced on the market, and create competition and a new role in the game.

I'm talking about Blueprint Copies like the empire faction ships or module BPCs (such as the Caldari Navy Ballistic Control Unit) attained from the LP store and tag missions, or the pirate faction ships like the Gila, and even Cosmos blueprints like the ones from the missions or LP store. There's probably a hundred or so blueprints that could be added, injecting a slight boost into Cosmos crafters and making the finished items more available.

Note that this is not an urgent change, and should probably be put on the back burner for an opening, but it is something that might improve the game. Constructive criticism on this idea is welcome, but I believe it's pretty basic.

Or ... just get them from contracts where the rest of the BPC are.

Problem is they need stuff that's used elsewhere now, so the build prices are out of line ...

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
