====== The Free Blueprint (BPC) Programme ======

The financial analyst of the Brave Collective, Algenon Buttercup, has determined that the alliance would benefit from a freely available collection of BPCs to encourage burgeoning industrialist and seed the market. The days of being trickled upon by elitist industrialists is over, rejoice!

<alert type="info">
The Free BPC Programme is run by volunteers, and runs on a shoe-string budget. If you're interested in helping, contact [[user:rael_armansky|Rael Armansky]].

===== Rules =====
This program has some basic rules you have to follow:
  * The program is only available to the alliance.
  * Limited to 10 BPCs per request.
  * Requests for multiple of the same BPC is at the discretion of the BPC manager.
  * Only the BPCs on the list can be requested.
  * Please only have one request active at a time \\ **<fs medium><fc #ff0000>This is per person NOT per character</fc></fs>**
  * Capital hull BPCs are provided at one per month per person due to scarcity (and because if you need them, you're generally wealthy enough to be able to get them from contracts)
  * The program operates only from **"K7D - Exploration Analysis"**

===== Disclaimer =====
<alert type="warning">
**Anything that is unreasonable will be rejected.** And this is a sliding scale, arbitrary and utterly at the discretion of the BPC Managers. If they blink at the request, they’ll reject it. 
</alert>

===== How to =====

<alert type="info">
We have an ancient request page. Gone are the days of wondering what the BPC programme has in stock or forgetting if you have a request pending, or even what you requested.
</alert>
  - Go to this link and choose what you would like [[https://bravebpc.appspot.com/|HERE]]
  - Because the code cannot cater for the number of BPCs we have, this [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vnJ0-bFMKG5L6ysYIz05ACzLrK_UDEdl53-KBaWMtq0/|BPC Programme Inventory]] sheet shows what we have in stock, and is updated weekly (ish).
  - BPCs will be contracted to you in **"K7D - Exploration Analysis"** within 48 hours or so.

===== Available BPCs =====

BPCs generally come fully researched with max runs, varying from just 10 runs for battleship hulls to hundreds or even thousands for ammunition and components.  We do have many BPCs that are not max researched that can still be useful for invention.  Please see the full list below to see exactly what research levels/runs we have and how many are in stock.

===== Common Problems =====
==== Overcommitment ====
You ask for too many copies of a single item at once.  We try to ration our stock so that we can provide at least something to anyone who submits a request.

===== Helping Out =====

If you would like to make donations to the BPC program, please submit contracts to **<fc #f0e68c>Brave Industries</fc>** corporation.
