Using private materials with Blueprints in Corporation Hangar

I am requesting the ability to use private materials for corporation jobs, which is currently not a possibility.

The user story and a problem statement is shown below.

As a Corporation Member, I would like to use my private stash of materials in conjunction with Blueprints located in my Corporation Hangar as follows:
i) Select Corporation Blueprint I wish to use,
ii) Select "Item Hangar" in the INPUT MATERIAL LOCATION DropDown Menu,
iii) Select "Item Hangar" in the OUTPUT LOCATION DropDown Menu.

PROBLEM:
The "Item Hangar" option does not show up in either INPUT MATERIAL LOCATION or OUTPUT LOCATION DropDown Menus, located in the Industry (ALT-S) window.


Does anyone have the same need or something similar to improve the request?

Never realized that was not an option. Seems like a reasonable request.

This would be a nice option.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

A nice request. Would basically allow corporations to loan out their blueprints to members this way without changing much.

-1 because it would be a permissions / corp hanger nightmare based on the way things work in a corp in this game currently.

-1 because the time needed for CCP to change the entire permissions structure of a corp to allow this is time they need to be spending on other problems in the game.

-1 because maybe they do not want you to have access to the BPO / BPC owned by the corp and as the CEO / Directors they have the right to make that decision.

Moving on to other thoughts.
Have you asked for a BPC so you can manufacture for the corp?

If you have access to manufacture for the corp instead of asking for access to their BPO / BPC's using materials in your stash simply transfer them into the appropriate corp hanger and then do your thing. If you do not have permissions then you need to discuss this with your CEO and directors.

Despite all the negatives above I am not against the idea, just against it in the game as it is. Taken as a part of a complete overhaul of the corp permissions / corp hangers structure and I agree this would be a nice thing to have.
