Hello here,

Can I make ISK with T2 bpc research and sell them ? I mean can I do this like a primary job and make ISK ?

Or it's a bad idea ?

Not really. Most people who manufacture T2 also invent (skills are pretty much the same). I'm sure there's a small market but it's not much.

I didn't encounter a situation so far, where selling the T2 BPC gives me more profit than building and selling the product.

I'm my own NPC alt.

You can look at selling BPCs for jump freighters. Look for Anshar, Ark, Nomad or Rhea blueprints in contracts.

BPC's are relatively easy. You can buy a freighter BPC on contract, invent using an optimized attainment decryptor and sell the resulting 3 run JF BPC. For example, an Obelisk BPC can be purchased on contract for 9 million ISK (ME/TE is irrelevant for invention). An optimized attainment decryptor is around 3.5 million and that gives you a 49% chance of inventing a 3 run Anshar BPC - current asking price is 100 million on contract. You'll also need 128 datacores at a cost of 12-13 million.

10 invention attempts at a cost of 25 million each: 250 million ISK. Conservative outcome - 4 JF BPCs worth 100 million each = pretty good profit margins!

Now I feel dumb. I was about to throw an extra Ark BPC on contracts just last night. Of course that's an option.

T2 fighter bpcs were selling pretty well for decent profit when they were released, was easily getting 10mil+ per run per bpc
