Blueprints Question

[SFkenny]

Allright, this is an odd question, but here goes.

Once we buy a blueprint from the market, and use it, why don't we keep it?

I crafted a Chronus sword from a blueprint dropped from an enemy and it kept the blueprint just fine. Yet when I buy a Viper blueprint and craft a Viper, the blueprint is no longer there!

Are market blueprints consumable? If so, why? Why am I expected to get the same schematic twice to make the two vipers necessary to craft the Twin Viper from yet ANOTHER set of blueprints? This feels almost unfair in the amount of credit grinding I'll have to do just to have the right to use two Vipers at the same time.

Every time you craft an item you lose it's blueprint. The only way for you still have a Cronus BP after crafting one is that you already had more than one BP in your inventory.

While you're crafting it actually stays in your inventory sometimes before you claim it.

If you're new to the game, then yes, grinding for credits may be tedious, but that's the point of F2P games, you want things now use cash, you want to have fun and make things last, work for it. I have worked for most of my weapons and frames because I find that worth my time, and when the game is this good and engaging, I invest time in it. There's nothing unfair to the way BPs work.
