Effect of selling ship blueprints
« on: December 20, 2023, 02:13:31 AM »

Some time ago, somewhere I read that if you sell blueprints, the faction you sold them to starts producing these ships.
As an example, you find two blueprints for the DOOM-class frigate. You learn one and the other is useless so you sell it at a pirate station. After some time, you notice that pirate fleets now have doom ships in their fleets.

Is this true, or did I misunderstand something about it? Now I am completely paranoid about selling blueprints and just hoard them on one of my planets like some stash of peanuts.

If you sell blueprints to black market, regardless of what faction colony belongs to, pirates will incorporate said blueprints and start using them in their fleets. If you don't want this happen you just sell it on open or military market, anywhere.

Also as far as I am aware, only Pirates would incorporate Blueprints.

The other factions doesn't do anything with them (even the Independents).

Do note that this is in regard to vanilla.
