| + | * Station / Outpost | ||
| + | * Player Owned Starbase (POS) | ||
| + | * Citadel / Engineering Complex | ||

| - | - Security | + | - **Security** |
| * Well-researched BPOs take a lot of time to produce, especially for the bigger ships such as capitals. Putting your BPO in a POS - for a facility reduction in materials and time - makes it vulnerable to attack. For this reason you can first copy the BPO, and then take only the BPC out to the POS for manufacturing, leaving your BPOs safely in station. | * Well-researched BPOs take a lot of time to produce, especially for the bigger ships such as capitals.

| * In-corp security can also be increased using BPCs. If you don't trust your corp mates with your BPOs, you can instead keep a personal copy line running and release frequent BPCs for corp usage. | * In-corp security can also be increased using BPCs.

| * Creating a Tech 2 BPC can only be done using a Tech 1 BPC - not a BPO. This process is called invention, and requires a T1 BPC of the item you wish to invent (for example, if you want to invent a 425mm Autocannon II, you need a BPC for a 425 Autocannon I). | * Creating a Tech 2 BPC can only be done using a Tech 1 BPC - not a BPO.
