Latest feature release includes a tweak to the overall site template and a blueprints manager.

With all the silly market nonsense going on in K6 right now what with all those noobs throwing things on the market for under Jita price (plenty of export opportunities if you have the time) my industrial/trade partner Blake and I are looking for other sources to supplement our income and have returned to our old staple, manufacturing. As he will probably blog soon about our endeavors with mineral compression and projected profits, I’ve found the need for better blueprint management in order to streamline our efforts. A feature which has been sadly lacking on the tracker considering it’s entire ethos is as an industrial monster.

The blueprints manager lets you see an overall view of all the BPs you currently own, where they are, what they’re currently doing as well as current ME/PE and Licensed Production runs (LPR) left on BPCs. By clicking on the update button ME and PE are collected from stored industrial jobs and associated to the BPs in your asset list.

View all industrial jobs the BP has been involved in by clicking on the blue question mark icon and with the detected ME/PE get a quote for manufacturing by clicking on the item name.

This is a 1st stage release so expect there to be more features added over the next few weeks. Features currently on the design board are :

Search by name, location, item type

Create project direct from the BP without needing to go through the manufacturing tabs.

See more accurate project requirements from detected capital part BPs based on real ME levels.

ME, PE and LPR can be manually set by clicking on the numbers and entering a new value in the text box. By moving the focus from the text box (clicking somewhere else or hitting return) the value is saved. Use with caution however as updating the list will overwrite any settings you’ve entered. I may address this depending on the feedback I receive. Personally I’d consider the manual feature as a temporary value which becomes permanent when you use the BP and it’s associated with an industry job which confirms it’s actual state.

With BPOs you can’t set the LPR as, well, they’re BPOs so have no maximum.
