I don't remember reading in any of the the forums on patch notes that there was change to Industry in form amount of max run copies of Ammo. Before Missile BPC's max run count was 1500 for all types of missiles, now that number is much lower. For instance Heavy Missile max run is now 300 runs and Cruise Missiles is 200 runs. Considering on some of the L4 missions I can easily go through 1000+ missions this equates to max of about 20 missions for Cruise Missiles from 1 BPC. Meaning now I will need to bring more BPC's with me. Not good.

I take it you haven't noticed how much faster it is to make copies now.

Or how easy it is to find copying facilities.

Or even that the skill Advanced Industry makes everything 15% faster, including copying and manufacturing.

Or that you can hire teams to reduce time and / or materials.

Or that invention only uses one run from a T1 BPC now.

Or that the price dropped plummeted on all BPC on contracts as a result.


EDIT: If using T1 ammo, just buy a BPO so you don't need copies. BPO are also faster and easier to research now.

From the Crius patch notes:

Quote:
The number of maximum runs for Tech I non-component items has been adjusted to have approximately 2 days of build time


Ammo is a Tech I, non-component item. The changed blueprints weren't individually listed because just about all were adjusted in some way.

Actually I have noticed all the above. I was finally able to have a chance to start research my BPO's for better ME/TE. But honestly having 4 Sets of BPO's in all the placesI do L4 would be a pain, I tend to focus on L4 close to a Industry so I don't have to haul missiles constantly from my central research/production Hub.
It was bad enough that Gun Mining was cut in half, now not a Max run BPC for my Cruise Missiles is now been reduced from 1500 to 200.
But honestly all the items you mentioned was in patch notes so I expected them. I didn't catch the patch notes covering the reduction of Max run BPC. At least 1 manufacturing run of Missile still results in 100 missiles.
Down side of the Scrap Metal reprocessing maxing out at 55% comes into play when doing Drone Sites, those Precious Alloy's that are in the Boxes that was free minerals are half the value. Greatly reducing value of Drone sites in High Secure Space.

There was also a long, long, long discussion thread in this forum with CCP Greyscale as he was working all the changes out. Complete with multiple spreadsheets detailing exactly what was changing.
