Richard furrowed his brow. "Hold up," he said. "When I got the Vector Core and the AMFS, they didn't require priced components. Why do all these new blueprints suddenly need them?"
[ You need to understand that each module's components are modular—they can be used across multiple technologies. That means you can customize and reconfigure existing blueprints. You're not bound to a textbook design. You're gaining freedom. ]
"Huh… yeah, that actually makes sense." Richard crossed his arms. "But can I choose not to buy the component blueprints? Just go with the main one?"
[ Yes, you can. But the blueprint's inner workings will remain a black box. You'll only be able to construct it as-is. No customization. No component-level insight. ]
Richard sighed. "I've gotta be smart with my SP. Even if I bought one now, actually building it? That'd raise questions. Sure, I could use the AMFS and drones to fabricate it, but someone's bound to ask—Where'd it come from? How'd you make it?"
