By chips I'm assuming you are referring to datacores, which I mentioned that they can be rolled into the production side instead of the invention side. Would it devalue T1 BPCs? Yes, but people still use BPCs to run production, and you could still invent from BPCs to create a BPC at a much lower cost startup cost then doing it from a BPO.

Something as simple as making the overall invention time from a T1 BPC much shorter then running copies from a T2 BPO would help maintain the demand for T1 BPCs anywhere where the person doesn't want to manufacture directly from their BPOs. Combine that with a material cost of copying from a T2 BPO to make it cheaper to invent a BPC then run copies from your T2 BPO and you further stabilize the T1 BPC market.

It simply gives more options for the T2 manufacturers and more hilarious killmails to be had as people move their T2 BPO collections.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

Why? Invention is taking care of the market just fine, there is no need to tweak anything simply for the sake of tweaking or your issues with OCD.

If anything has to ever be done about T2 BPO, (I don't think it's needed), they should delete all of them one way or another to really enforce the message that BPC invention is the way to go.
