Solution is to award owners of "old" bp's with same quality "new" ones, and then remove old ones. If MA don;t want on marked some kind of crafted weapon ( which itself is stupid - there are better ways of balancing ) instead of removing some component from loot and making some BP's useless to force usage of new ones it can simply trade with crafters, not making them feel fools.
I disagree. While it indeed feels like being made a fool for sitting on a bp which is no longer operable (esp. if you've raised it to a high QR), simply changing it by force majeure is even worse. Much worse. Don't go that route. Ever.
Actually the only correct way is by letting the better outmode the good. Apis & co. are (were) great, but plenty of even better items exist now. It would do no harm if they could continue to be crafted when someone wants them for nostalgic or whatever reasons. Their worth would simply go down as the market moves on to other favourites.
I suggest to rather introduce new blueprints for crafting the now missing components like Basic Target Assessment Unit etc., if for any reason they don't want to bring them back in the loot. This way you can create new interest without hurting the old.
