Hi team !
I found it...confusing at best how you are introducing the terms BPC/BPO in the manual. On page 8, chapter "Market", it sounds as if I was fitting and consuming BPCs. That is plain wrong IMHO. "Wrong" at least in the greater scheme and lore of EVE.
Considering that there will be production and eventually a common market between Merc and Capsuleers, Blueprint Copy and Blueprint Original should retain the meaning they have in EVE : that is a production related schematic of the item to be built, not the item itself nor shortcut to it. |

Yeah I feel the same way. If you have 'free' restocks of an item, call it a Supply Contract or something, but BPC/BPO should be in the realm of manufacturing, not fitting.
But there's more stuff that's out of sync with EVE mannerisms, the whole fitting wheel for example with guns (hislots) on the bottom, "high-powered mid-slots" and other naming issues. |

Now that you mention it, yes ! I was confused as well that the high slots were on the bottom.
This is not an issue of EVE players not wanting to adjust to a new game, I think. But it is about cohesion between two games which are supposed to have an interchange of players and metaphors. It also links into the recently started effort in EVE to reduce the unnecessary complexities due to naming inconsistencies. |

agreed ... the high mids, low highs, and equipping of BPCs and BPOs kind of caught me off guard as well.
I also know quite a few people who are the proud owners of dozens of identical militia weapons, because it initially threw them for a loop as well. |

I don't even see why you are allowed to buy 50 militia bpos of anything, And i see no certain way to selling extra items off either like accidentally buying a skill book I already own. |
