We have a new guide up, this time detailing all there is needed to know about research and manufacturing in EVE.

The easiest and most common way to get a blueprint is to buy the un-researched BPO off of the market. You can easily get any tech level 1 blueprint this way, and there is an unlimited stock of them. Certain blueprints are not sold by NPCs in certain regions, so the blueprint may be marked up by a player reseller depending on where you are. A good way to be safe is to buy the blueprints for ships in a region belonging to that ship's race (buy Caldari blueprints in Lonetrek or The Forge, for example).
