Am I doing something wrong here?

I am researching Tech 2 BPC for frigates and my chance of success is at least 40%.....but the last 20 bpc's i have tried to research I have literally gotten one or two blue prints.

I am not using any tunners or anything because it doesn't make any financial sense, just my skills.

Any help is appreciated...unless I am just having bad luck.Cry

Random is random. Your luck will turn, sooner or later.

How are you getting 'at least 40%' chance of invention? With all skills at 5, no decryptors and frigate BPCs you should have a success chance of 37.8%. With that, the statistical average for 20 BPCs is 7.56 successes.

Bad luck is bad luck. Roll some more dice or sacrifice something to BOB for best results.


p.s. The word you're looking for is Invention. Invention.

You could take a statistics and probability subject at University.

Random is random. I've known of 40 of 40 Hulk Inventions to fail.

That's really bad luck. With 1/1/1 skills, the chance for all 40 to fail is 0,008%.

I've gone 16/20 and 3/20 on 50% inventions. Keep going and it will eventually even out.

keep positive.

Don't look at is as only 1-2 successes in 20 attempts. look at it as getting 18-19 failures out of the way. In the long run it will even out. So you are just getting some excess failures out of the way early. maybe your next run will give you 12 out of 20. you never know, random is random. you can only really expect to see your 40% flat success rate in a huge batch of 1000 or more runs.
