BPOs, BPCs, research, and invention
Every production run requires four things: a blueprint, minerals, the required skills, and an assembly line. We've already covered where and how to get the minerals, the skills needed to start building, and how to find stations with assembly lines. So now let's take a closer look at the most important part of every production run, the blueprint. Let's see how you can make that blueprint as efficient as possible and what else you can do with a blueprint other than just making production runs.
Researching blueprints
A blueprint original, or BPO, for every tech I item in EVE can be purchased from the market. These BPOs however require the maximum amount of minerals and take the maximum amount of time to complete a production run. But with a little research, you can turn that BPO into a model of efficiency. To purchase a BPO, open the market and select Blueprints on the left. Navigate the drop-down menu for the different blueprint groups, as shown in the next...
