So before the last industry changes the T2 bpcs were one of the most rewarding loots you could get in either data or relic sites. They had big bonuses by simply being at ME 0 while most invented bpcs had -2.

With removing wastage and changing the system the difference is now instead of 20% a mere 2%. This includes even capital sized bpcs where they simply and silently changed bpcs worth over 100 mil to be hardly worth the paper they are written on.

So yeah, perhaps this is a bit of a qq thread after realizing all that ISK flushed off with a simple change.

Anyway anyone else with thoughts on this matter ?

In all of my exploration, I've only found 2 BPC's that were worth anything, and they were faction POS guns. Any T2 BPC's I had even pre-Crius weren't worth much.

well I had a few capital armor trimark pump II bpcs with 2 runs each at 0 ME with a calculated savings of about 60 mil per run.

Bear in mind that invention is getting a more comprehensive overhaul, one which started right after Crius from what I heard. So all invention-related stuff will be changing again. The Rig BPCs can be brought to dev's attention during that.

The most rewarding loot in exploration was t2 salvage. All other kinds of loot wasn't enough to motivate me even try to do data site most of the times. Those t2 BPCs were very rare to find anyway, not to mention good ones (most of them were an cheap crap). I very rarely did data sites before last expansion as it just was useless. I don't get what are you talking about.

t2 salvage was just the standard drop, while the bpcs were the big reward (some of them). And they are found also in relic sites not just data sites
