Hello,

I was brainstorming about new changes for reprocessing, copying etc and it came into my mind that it is not possible to make POS facilites, for example: Laboratories and Reprocessing Arrays accessible to public?

Would it be possible to implement such a change to POS facilites that you could set up a tax rate for labs/reprocessing arrays and thus run a small public service POS where people could come and do their stuff at higher efficiency rate and at the same time paying a small tax fee?

I was thinking, regarding tax, it could be calculated in a similar manner:
For laboratory jobs: depends on how long does it take, for example it could be set up that 1 second of laboratory work costs 0.05 ISK. Thus 1 hour would be 1800 ISK. And month would cost: 12,96mil. (numbers are regulated by owner of course)

For reprocessing arrays it could depend on volume being reprocessed or maybe total value:

1m3 of reprocessing cost 1isk. Thus reprocessing 100 Veldspar ( which is 1m3) it would bost 1 ISK and so on. ( you could set up a price ).

I imagine the most difficult part would be hangars for public. Well, for Ore that should not be a problem as it takes 10 seconds to reporcess ( after Crius) and then just take it. If thats not enough security, maybe putting a secure cargo container inside for example ( at the same time increasing reprocessing array cargo) to have a secure service.
Same migh be used for labs as well. U bring a secure container and after your copying etc is done it is sent to that container which only you can acess as only u know the password. Work is done - u take container with you or take whats inside.


I hope you guys get the general idea.
I think things like this would open new opportunities for industry and could find its place in CCP statment that they want in the future to see everything that is in EVE, be made by the players.



Tell me what you think,

Changes to the POS mechanics will make this obsolete in a few days.
