Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Finding a place to make blue prints research takes days 10-18 days just to get a spot open or find someone with a pos that will do it,And people that do it full time have all 3 char trained for maxim and use all slots. thats not easy to do for new players or just players who want to get into industry for one or two things so how do we make it more available?

currently the only use for 8.00 corporation standing is for jump clones and missions, Why is that the only thing? There major corporation they should offer something more why not let you have a slot for blue print copying and research.

Now don't freak out there should be limits

You can only have 1 slot to do research

You can only have a Maximum of 3 corp that let you do research (if you have 5 corps with 8.00 standings well you can only use 3)

You will need a chip to run the research much like you need get a navy issue ship.

I am not saying that 8.00 is the standing you need or any numbers, just an example.

Think its a good idea bad idea post why or how to improve the idea

Jesse, we have to cook!

Welcome to EVE. We're all totally friendly :)

In all seriousness, you have two options. Go somewhere out of the way where there are available slots or, and this is an important lesson in EVE, join an industrial corp who'll help you with the POS logistics. This is an MMO after all. Things like this are only difficult solo. They're really simple as a group.

No! It would be way to easy to destroy and then blam! There goes your billion isk Outpost bpo all because some jackwagen in a Talos had an ichy tigger finger and combat probes! Research needs to be done in some place secure, like a POS, station or outpost.

1. The mobile deployables have nothing to do with POS's.
2. My manufacturing alt is only a few months old but i find with forward planning the wait times for the public slots are fine. I could do more with a POS but the hassle isn't worth it for me. i have 10 manufacturing slots running 24/7 and 10 research waiting. my cyno alts can also do basic research and i used that when i first needed to research a ton of BPO's.

The current system works fine and people willing to put more effort in can reap greater rewards. i see no problem here.

i like it :)
i´m for more options, to have your own mini lab, your own deployable Structure on Planet, Moon or in Space less providable than POS but easily to deploy and less difficult to destroy.

I'd prefer to see modifications to player owned activity lines (i.e.: manufacturing, research, invention, copying) so that they can be rented out to other players based on alliance & corporation standings. Thus you might be able to simply park your BPO in a station and have it researched in any of a dozen publicly available research lines.

Managing the manufacturing and invention could be possible if proper access controls were available for labs and assembly lines.

There's so much that POSes could do, if only CCP could make the time to look at them.

Because you're forced to put a 1bn isk blueprint in a deployable.
