Invention is the producing of T2 BPCs using T1 BPCs (for example, you can invent a Gyrostabilzer II BPC using a Gyrostabilizer I BPC).
Invention is the producing of T2 BPCs using T1 BPCs (for example, you can invent a Gyrostabilzer II BPC using a Gyrostabilizer I BPC). The base materials required are a T1-variant BPC of the T2 item you wish to produce, the correct Data Interface and two different types of Datacore. Inputting all these into the Industry window results in a chance-based job, where you have a possibility of receiving a T2 BPC (and a possibility of failure).  Improving your science skills will improving your invention chance.


The majority of T2 items on the market are produced through Invention. A few years ago CONCORD auctioned a number of T2 BPOs, but these are no longer available. The few T2 BPOs still owned by capsuleers sometimes exchange hands for vast amounts of ISK.

This is part of the extremely complex process to make Strategic Cruisers. It is an activity that can only be carried out at an Experimental Laboratory anchored at a POS.

Reverse engineering functions somewhat like Invention: you use an Ancient Relic (found in Data sites in w-space), along with a Data Interface and Datacores, in order to potentially receive back a BPC for a T3 ship or subsystem. Skills increase your chance, just like invention.  Note that Reverse Engineering is the process to create only the BPCs for T3 ships/subsystems - the materials needed to actually build from the BPCs also come from complex POS-based processes, using materials found only in w-space.
