All BPOs have a Rank (not visible in-game) which determines how long they take to research. Rank 1 blueprint is the "baseline" blueprint. The table below shows the research times needed for a baseline blueprint. | All BPOs have a Rank (not visible in-game) which determines how long they take to research.

Carriers and Dreadnought BPOs are rank 200, giving them a time to research to ME | For example Carriers and Dreadnought BPOs are rank 200, giving them a time to research to ME from 0% to 1%: ''105 seconds × rank 200' = 21,000 seconds'', or 5hr 50m. In general, the bigger or more expensive a thing is, the higher rank its BPO is, and the longer it takes to research. | ||
