Yep... i have just discovered that but i have set up a pos and i have started to research TE on some BPO and it asked me good money for that.

Where i can find the formulas used in this case (research ME, research TE copying and manifacturing) when the job is installed in a pos?

I'm a bit confused because i thought that it had to be "free" somehow since i already pay for the fuel (and the price of it has skyrocketed in the last couple of days....)

Welcome to the new world. Like it or not, POS's have unionized on us and are now demanding we pay them.

All the formulas can be found here:

Level Multiplier
1 -> 1
2 -> 29 / 21.0
3 -> 23 / 7.0
4 - > 39 / 5.0
5 - > 278 / 15.0

7 - > 2200 / 21.0
8 - > 5251 / 21.0
9 - > 4163 / 7.0
10 -> 29660 / 21.0


In the new system, you not only pay to research, invent, and copy, but you also see little reduction to the installation cost when building at a POS. You do save the 10% NPC fee, but you pay exactly the same base fee even when your job is completing must faster due to POS facility bonuses.

https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/blueprint/ should give you accurate price info, within a reasonable degree of accuracy (cost indexes change, so it depends when they update compared to when I pull it) . (if it does, please confirm Smile )

Woo! CSM XI!

Your data files have been a great help lately. I am impressed how quickly you started working on a solution for Crius, too. You're a legend, mate. ^^

As soon as I get my megalodon of a spreadsheet finished, I will be checking its figures against Fuzzwork.
