Defunct Blueprints

I have a number of VERY expensive blueprints for sovereignty upgrades: Things like “Survey Networks 2 Blueprint”. Many Billions isk worth.

They all now say "Defunct" in front of them because of the new patch. I do understand they are no longer used.

Am I simply out of all the isk I put into these? Will CCP at least take them and refund the cost I paid?

Thank you.

From my understanding any blueprints for outdated equipment is being turned into BPs for the new equipment

Ok… So I should hold onto them until that happens sometime in the future.
I hope you are right. I wonder when that will happen.

Thanks for the response.

Ok im incorrect. Lemme find the quote again.

I havent seen anything stating otherwise about the old BPs for upgrades etc.

Very likely CCP will just delay then forget about it like many of the now defunct POS modules that I have BPOs for that were supposed to transition to something and never did.

I’m also kind of annoyed as I have a TCU BPO that was pretty max researched up and I guess that will become just another isk sink

Same for me with researched TCU BPO. Hmm!

June 26, and still have billions worth of Defunct Blueprints.
CCP, are you going to address this??? The least you could do is refund their base cost…

“Recognizing the considerable investments made in the previous system, this program will reimburse deprecated upgrades, TCUs, and blueprints through a combination of returning material input items, automatically converting some items into new types, and direct ISK refunds for others.”

In yesterday’s blog, so it seems we’ll see exactly what that means today at DT. https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/sovereignty-updates-transition-and-upgrades

years spent researching TCU to max was not a happy bunny

Well I won’t hold my breath then…! But tbh CCP said this would happen in the coming months so patience is necessary!

It looks like all the new blueprints are out. Military upgrades, industrial upgrades etc… But CCP still hasn’t refunded the cost for all my old defunct blueprints. Billions lost? Years of research lost?

Looks that way.

Happens sometimes when the meta shifts. I spent years building a multi-billion isk bookmark library that CCP made absolutely worthless by adding “warp to 0km.” so I understand how you feel. I left for a long time after that.

Hopefully you get some resolution.

Requiescat in defunct !

Here it is, September already and still no refund or solution offered to the people who bought Billions of isk worth of Blueprints, which are now defunct.

CCP ?

Can you just refund them please and get it over with…

maybe move to CSM ?

@Mike_Azariah

They only just changed the reprocessing amounts so seems to me they are working through it all very slowly, and will still tackle the BPOs. But yeah it’s annoying!

it does say its going to take several months for all to workout.
