Copy Industry Job.

Greetings fellow capsuleers and other dubious people alike!

With the introduction of the "copy contract" feature, which I absolutely love btw, I have the following request.

We all know the Industry, invention and research UI is horrible. Lets face it, there's probably nothing worse in the game right now. As someone who does a lot of bpo research, having hundred jobs running 24/7, this is a pain (but worth it to me). None the less, my wrist would like some vacation..

That said, would it be possible to introduce a "copy" feature in the S&I windows?

For example, I wish to research 10 Antimatter BPO's. Instead of right-clicking on a bpo, selecting the desired lab (and always having to select the dropdown; in distant space), setting me/pe level and hitting ok. I'd only have to do it once, hit copy, select a new lab slot and hit ok. Include a list of bpo's available as well just like in the contract system. that way I can pick a different bpo without starting the whole thing again.

I understand the S&I UI and mechanics will get an update sometime soon (hehe, soon..), But it would be nice to get a temporary, ease of use, update on it in the meantime.

Much ♥ from a researcher.
Thanks.

I like this idea, I'd also like to see some sort of increase in the number of copy labs at some point as they're being overused like crazy at the moment.
