How to fix blueprints

[Kjetil]

I am sure that there are many hundred thousands of blueprints out there. Maybe millions. This VU also MA did not allow to drop low TT-items as blueprint with QR=1.
I think reason for this is database-problems and lag it ocures to servers.

I have eariler asked for less blueprint drops so blueprints become more rare. It is kinda silly to get a new bp for each 200 crafting attempts in my opinion. Specially for equipments where we have limited places to add them into book.
It seems that MA still drop many bp's but what I think would be a great idea is to have a possibility to add a bp to another bp to raise QR.

Example:
1 basic tube bp has QR=1. TT price is 0.01 PED (1 pec)

When a new (level 1) basic tube bp shows up in loot window, the player could use that bp to add up QR with 1.0 and bp then disepears.
100 bp's are then required to get QR to reach 100.0.
This is only an example but the current system raise QR in a non static way. Also it is not linear. How MA could implement it to be fair, I am not sure but we would have less bp's in circulations and still crafters could take adventages of higher QR or opertunity to sell bp in the market.

Maybe TT-bps can't have that option since you could "exploit" system when buying 100 bp's for 1 ped and get a QR=100 bp for that price.

Im a bit curious though, since I dont craft; Im guessing it gets harder and harder to raise the QR of a blueprint the higher the QR gets, is that correct?
If so that should probably need to be reflected on the Add-bp-to-raise-QR. So depending on the original blueprints QR the added blueprint have different value. A level 1 blueprint get a full 1pec raise while a lvl 50 blueprint get 0.5pec raise or something to that effect.

All in all very nice idea. It just feels so wrong to tt blueprints.

this is over corect , guetting QR+ when you are over 50 , is very very very rare.

for bp drop , MA just need to change drop rate on component , since compo is 10 gonzillon click per day for som pec and 1 bp all 200 click.
in tailloring its 1000 click per day for 300 ped and 1 bp all 350 click.

imho MA dont mind to throw away BP in conponent.

Yes as I said, QR-gain is not linear so we should have a similar system when adding bp to bp with current QR.

Yep I like the sound of that

I have about 60 basic servo BPs lying around in storage, it would be much better if i could combine them all into one BP with a good QR

Combining 2 basic filter BPs (Qr 1) should give you a QR of about 1.5

However combining two lvl 5 armor BPs (QR 1) should give you a QR more like 15 or 20

Hope this makes sense

I don't really think 5 armor bp wtih QR=1 should get QR=15 or 20.

I would like that only same bp's can be gathered together.
Like basic filter bp can only use basic filter bp.
Rascal harness bp can only use rascal harness bp, etc.
