I was wondering how would the ideal of a product - NPC requested Resource

That has to be first purchased from an NPC and an incubator

this incubator once anchored becomes invulnerable, but has a timer on it. (This item can not be anchored inside a POS and has to be atleast 20K from a POS) Would recommend placement close to the sun to fuel the incubator.

Once this incubator is done it will spurt out this NPC requested Resource at Double the amount which can be purchased by by the NPC.

When the resource is spurted anyone can grab this resource.

Placing reps on the incubator while it is reinforce timer is active will speed up the timer, Shooting the Incubator will slow down the timer.

Hacking could allow you to steal some of the incubators resource prematurely subtracting from the total to be made, but this act takes a while and a few tries.

Eventually this NPC product would be used in Some for of production like Dust equipment in the future

This would be a conflict driver as it creates a time when a resource will appear,
Eventually will turn into a small isk sink.
It will also provide something that needs to be protected from raiders, but the raiders can't simply come by and killing it in a blob in 30 seconds and move on.

Someday I will have the time to play. For now it is mining afk in High sec. In Cheap ships
