Research time reduction skills?

Hello everybody!

I'm currently trying to get into manufacturing and research. I am now researching my first BPO, a Merlin. But it takes me 8 days to move up 10 levels in time or material efficiency research. Now what I see in my corp is that some people can research a rig 50 levels in a single day. So I'm wondering if the time it takes to research a BPO depends on skills or the BPO?

I have the following "research skills":

Research IV
Metallurgy III
Laboratory Operation IV

Are there any other skills I should train? Or do ship BPO's just take a long time?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Ships take longer than modules and rigs, period. You should see how long it takes to research a capital BPO.

But also, Research 5. Won't make a huge difference, but it will help.

ME research speed is improved by training Metallurgy (Research is for PE research time). There's also implants. Not going to make that 8 days into 1. Maybe into 6 and a half.

Do some research before you start that ME research. 50 ME for example is a complete waste on most, if not all, rig BPOs that are perfect at ME 15 or less. See how much you will gain from the research, and see if it's worth it. 10 days to save 1000 ISK per run is probably not a good trade off.

Right you are. Got them flipped in my head.

Someone is pulling your leg if they say they can research 50 levels of any rig in 1 day Shocked

I've got:

Research 5 (5% to Manufacturing Time research per level)
Metallurgy 5 (5% to Material Efficiency research per level)

and the times I get when I look at rigs are:

Large Rigs - (Both Material Efficiency and Productivity time are the same)
Base - 1day 9hours 20mins
Me - 1day 1hour

Medium Rigs
Base - 16hours 40mins
Me - 12hours 30mins

Small Rigs
Base - 8hours 20mins
Me - 6hours 15mins

Even if I got the implants which give me a further 5% reduction, and ran the job in a mobile lab (0.75 job time bonus)

I would get a reduction of just under 19 mins with the implant, and another 89 mins reduction by running it in a pos lab, so a total saving of 1hr48 mins per level bringing the total down to 4hr 27m per level Lol

Metallurgy for ME
Research for PE
Science for Copy time

Also, don't forget about the 1%, 3%, 5% skill hardwires that can further reduce the research time and running the job in a POS instead of a station for a huge save in time.

Besides that... each bpo has it's own "research time" and it takes a different amount of time. A small ammo you can get to ME20 in a day but a titan will take half a year for just one ME level
