Well I am able to invent t2 Bss (marauders and Black ops). Already have some dozens BPCs invented. Is it worth production. Just asking because some BCs cost quite a lot on market ;)

the "is it cost effective to make it" check should be done before invention...

also, do your own research

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

This question can only be answered if you know how much ISK it took you to create these BPCs in the first place.

Maths is your friend Cool

I can make profit just on BPCs ..... my question is if (properly trained and prepared) it is possible to build them with proper profit. My calculations say probably ;)

I do my own research ... that is why i am able to make somne profit even on the BPCs (so far have decent success rate).

If you know the price of the T2 BPC and the cost to build the ships you can work out your profit margin. You seem to have already done that, so the answer would seem to be yes!

However you should also consider two other things:
- What's the velocity of the market: How many BPCs vs. T2 ships can you sell in one week, and how much profit would that make you? Which path is most profitable when taking your efforts into account?
- Time = ISK: Are you willing to gather large loads of minerals on a daily / weekly basis to produce these ships? Is the reward high enough for you?

He wasn't talking about in game research. You need to look at the market and run the math. No one is going to tell you what makes money (and if they do then they have a hidden agenda). Don't forget to look at sales volume. No one wants to be stuck with inventory that will take 6 months to sell.

Look at the program in my sig to see if you can make a profit. In my experience, T2 BS profit is limited.
