Don't know if this has been mentioned before, so here it goes.

Since research slots are backed up for 30+ days why not have Private corp research slots that cost the equivalent of 1,000,000 isk a month for each slot + research fees per job.

Have a new skill needed to be able to use the slots, call it Corporate lab Management.

Level 1 = 1 slot
Level 2 = 2 slots
Level 3 = 3 slots
Level 4 = 4 slots
Level 5 = 5 slots

Advanced skills would be like this.

Level 1 = 3% fee reduction
Level 2 = 3% time reduction
Level 3 = 5% fee reduction
Level 4 = 5% time reduction
Level 5 = 2% chance to have research finish with better than expected results.

Also the ISK cost could be replaced by the usage of fuel blocks currently used for POS operation.

How does this idea sound ? Discuss or Flame, lets try to keep it civil for the most part.

That is a tall order my friend...

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Is not the obvious solution to enable poses to make slots available publicly. the fee is paid to the corp owning the pos.
Then people can offer lab slot service in game, rather than being the out of game services they currently are.

Solution is leave highsec put up a POS, time to shrug off some of that risk aversion and laziness.
