This base copy time is then multiplied by the number of runs and the runs per copy value. Or, in other words, the total duration of your copy job is the base copy time, times the number of items you could build with the output copies. For example, whether you want five 10-run copies or ten 5-run copies, the total copy time would be 50 times the base copy time. | This base copy time is then multiplied by the number of runs and the runs per copy value.

=== Why should I copy my BPOs? | ==The cost of research== | ||
Installing research jobs is not free. Installing a ME or TE job will have the following cost: | |||
::'' Job cost = Process Time Value × System cost index × Structure bonus × Facility tax'', | |||
where Process Time Value is a number derived from the material cost of producing the item, blueprint rank and blueprint research level (ME and TE handled separately) and the system cost index is | |||
::'' System cost index = sqrt( Work hours done in system in past 28 days / Work hours done in universe in past 28 days ) '' | |||
(Work hours tracked separately for ME researc, TE research, copying, manufacturing and reactions). | |||
