How to use Corp BPO's

Make sure you're in the right station!

Currently our BPO's are stored in Lari, you will find the station bookmark in corporate locations. As we expand to other systems and stations, we will keep the list of stations with BPO's updated. Just confirm you are docked in one of those.

Confirm you have access

In your Inventory, make sure you can see Corporate Hangars, and that you have full access to 1st Division.

You'll notice that 2nd division you can view but cannot remove blueprints. And 6th onwards is locked completely. 3rd and 4th may be locked in future, but the majority of blueprints live in 2nd division

If you don't have this, then bug a director to update the permissions!

Selecting the BP

You will probably notice that you cannot access the BPO's directly from the hangar like you usually would. So load up your industry tab. If you can't see the BPO's immediately, then check the settings on the bar in the middle of the tab (see below)

Make sure that the option on the left is set to Owned by Corp. You can then select which station, and even restrict to certain corporate hangars.

Now that you have the list of BPO's you can just click on one and it should load up the info in the industry tab. In this example we'll use the Atron BPO.

Setting input and output locations

Make sure the far left option of those icons in the middle is selected, this is to manufacture the BPO that you have selected. It will display the resource costs on the left, and on the right display building costs and duration.

Eve permissions are a little weird. It's not possible to use a corp owned BPO and use resources in your own inventory. To get around this, we give full access to hangar 1. Please note that ALL corp members have access to this, so don't leave things in there!

So once you have decided how many you want, you've confirmed the right BPO and you want to start building, you need to set the input material location to 1st Division as well as the output location. If you see the Start button in red, then it means something is wrong.

Most likely it is a lack of materials, but you can hover the mouse over to confirm.

What I recommend, is you dump your materials into the first hangar, start the project, and then immediately take the remaining materials out of the hangar.

Check the Jobs Tab

If you want to make doubly sure it is running, you can select the Jobs tab to see all the jobs currently running. If you don't see any, then make sure you've selected "Owned by corp" from the far left option.

You should then see a list like the attached screenshot of jobs. And yours should be there. Once yours is completed, you can click on Deliver. It will then pop it into the 1st Division hangar where you can take it out. Please be on time to collect works so we don't hog BPO's from other members.
