I was experimenting with remote invention using scientific networking today, but experienced a problem. I pulled up the appropriate station hangar in my asset tab. I right clicked on one BPC, selected invent, and everything went smoothly, the job started with no problems. Then the second BPC I selected gave me an error when I tried to enter the job, the message read something like "Remote invention requires your blueprint to be located on the factory floor" (I forget the exact phrasing, but it's close to that). All the BPCs I was working on were identical and all were located on the main floor of my personal hangar at the station. After clicking on some other BPCs I finally found a second one that went through with no error. The other three I wanted to invent with all gave me the same error described above, even though I tried several times with two different ones. I then docked at the station, verified the three problem BPCs were all on my main hangar floor, and successfully set up invention jobs first try by right clicking and selecting invent.

This example is rather trivial as I was right outside the station anyway, but I would like to use scientific networking to run lab jobs at greater distances. I am leary of spending the training time if half the time my BPCs get glitched so I have to go to the station anyway. Can anyone tell me a way to prevent or work around this problem? Any insight why it only affects some of an identical group of blueprints but not all of them?

You get this error when you try to install a job into a mobile lab from station inventory. You need to put it in the lab or in a corp hanger of the pos to install.

Ghost BPC? i.e. You submit a job and the BPC doesn't disappear. You try to submit the "next" job with the same BPC and get an error because the BPC you are trying to submit isn't actually there.
