Is it possible to get blueprints from ships you own (capped or bought), but don't have BP for yet?

There is a mod that allows you to reverse engineer your ships in your shipyard/warf and thus gain blueprints.

Yes, but that destroys the ship and I don't have XL shipyard yet and don't want to lose my Monitor. xD

Come to think of it... You WILL have an L/XL shipyard in order to reverse engineer your Monitor... then you'll just have to built it up again at 1/4 of it's cost (instead of 3 times it's value that is the price of the blueprint)... so... better steal an L/XL shipyard blueprint fast...
Besides, you did bought the Monitor right? And, most probably, had to wait forever for it to be built...
There is another nice mod that I use a lot... it allows me to see all the dataleaks on a station and (if I have the tools researched in HQ) "steal" the modules blueprints!!! I'm pretty sure that in the 3rd or 4th (5th the most) Shipyard you scan with this you'll get the shipyard blueprints...

You can't steal shipyard blueprints. :( It's been like that since forever unless they changed it?

Hey, what do you take me for? I'm an honest pirate, of course I stole it! :D

It's called Signal Leak Hunter (cheaty) and it's in the Steam workshop

Huh. I'm running the less cheaty version (that's why I don't have research thingy), will switch then. Thanks for the tip! :)

Reverse engineering at a high cost needs to make a comeback otherwise playing the bad guy is simply not fun if i have to be friends with everyone first...

Aw, I actually like the Cobra, but I play FRF side. Split ships have become my favourites for combat. Such speed, many guns, so elegant, wow.

I didn't like Split designs in X3 because other species had much lovelier looking, but in X4 others are so unattractive to me that Split are the nicest looking (plus nostalgia also helps I guess).

I took the Theia sector for my own and now am capping all the Split miners, traders, builders and auxiliaries that go through it.

I just "discovered" the Rattlesnake for myself.

I usualli don't like flying capital ships, and prefer dogfighting with either small ships or corvettes. But this beast? Ho!Ho!
I feel like I found my new favourite toy. :D
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.
