I was checking Jita blueprints & noticed that there were quite a few Titan BP's.

Well i say a few, there were 84 Caldari ones.

Now i know faction BS copies are spawned from DED sites.



So where & how are new Titan BPO's spawned Or seeded.



Also are racial titan BPO's only seeded in each races space

+ how many have been lost destroyed since they have been seeded.

Cheers people

Avatar BPO, NPC seeded at Amarr Navy stations.

Since Jita is a Caldari Navy station, most of those 83 were probably NPC vendor (the ones with 365 day expiry are NPC), not player sold, if they were for the Leviathan.

Similarly, the Ragnarok will be seeded at Republic Fleet stations and teh Erebus at Federation Navy.

all the titan BPOS (as with all T1 ship BPOs) are seeded by various NPC corporations.

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

Cheers ..

Does make me wonder how they figured out the number to release ... also not sure how long Titans have been in the game but i'm sure they were around before me

How many did they release when they were first seeded, what price etc .. all very interesting to know

Also enjoy the fanfest stream .. woohoo

There's an infinite number. Buy BPOs and the amount available from the vendor resets, just as with all NPC-seeded items (BPOs, skill books)

You do realize NPC orders provide an unlimited supply.

As they have a low sell volume, they likely sell close to their base price.

Then again if you were REALLY lucky (luck actually had nothing to do with it ahem) you got FREE Cap BPO's courtesy of CCP... That is if you were part of BoB way way WAY back in the day.

1. That was T2 BPOs, not Cap BPOs
2. People got banned
3. The BPOs got removed.

2. People got banned -correct.

I can 100% guarantee it wasn't just a few T2 Ammo/1-ship BPO's that were seeded/given to BoB back then (that's probably all they could prove). It was pretty much the defining reason Goonswarm was tasked to obliterate BoB from Eve as it was then thought that BoB had an unfair advantage and were considered an evil blight in Eve. Little did we know back then what the Goons would truly become, nothing happens in a vacuum, not even in Eve.

If memory serves me, it wasn't like CCP just handed over BPO's like candy to the entirety of BoB. It was 1-2 players of very high level rank in BoB which were friend(s)/had friend(s) that at the time were on CCP's payroll and DID get disciplined. And yes I read that devblog from 2007, doesn't mean it's 100% accurate or contains 100% of what actually happened, more like I said above, only what they could prove/got caught for.
