Hey, Need to take a break from the game, but my industry character is in the middle of an 11 day build, which won't finish before my account runs out.

Will the blueprint / job be waiting for me when I return weeks or months later? Little nervous, but really don't want to cancel a capital build.

If it's a corp job it will continue, your corpmates can deliver it. Not sure about a personal job.

It is a personal job

The worst that will probably happen is the job pauses while your account goes inactive.
I assume it's installed in a normal station not a nullsec station, so when you come back online then it should start again and you can deliver it when it's finished.

I'm not sure if CCP actually stop jobs when the account goes inactive, but if they do then you won't lose it.

The only caveat is if it's in a player controlled null-sec station where you may find you log in after a few months off and find the station under different control and I'm not sure you'd be able to finish the job.

The job will continue as normal without you. When it finishes, it will wait there, ready.

When you come back, you will be able to deliver it, assuming it is in a location you can still access.

You can lose it if it is at a POS which gets blown up while you are gone. If it is in a null-sec station which gets conquered while you are gone, you will still be able to deliver it, you just may not be able to dock to collect it.

Yes it will. I've had a BPO sit completed after researching in the queue while unsubbed for 1.5 years. Blink

The Coreli Corporation is recruiting.

Glad I found this post, had been wondering about how the mechanics worked myself. Thanks!
