Instead of increasing the cost per hour across the board, how about increasing the cost per point of ME/PE being researched?

100 isk/hour for 1-10.
10,000 isk/hour for 11-20.
1,000,000 isk/hour for 21 and up.

That would encourage people to keep the queue times short as the longer it's being researched the more cost inefficient it is. That in turn would encourage people to take research to POSs I mean at 1,000,000 isk an hour, you'll probably never make the investment back from the mat savings you are getting as your ME or PE gets higher and higher.


A lot of ships and modules have very long research times. This idea is interesting, but I want to hit more than just ME processes (PE, Copying, MFG, etc).

Okay a year or so ago, about 30 days seemed normal for most hi sec areas.

Today?

40 days.

50 days.

At one station over 100 days for the queue.



I think it's gotten to the point where we either need to limit what can be researched in high, put in a max ME/PE for hi sec stuff, add the number of slots or something. You want a 50 ME BS? That's great. Either do it in a POS or take it to low/null.


you know you could grind up your faction standings by storyline missions or FW and then setup a tower in empire and do an insane amount of research. with no queue unless you have enough alts to queue a large tower full of labs.

Large caldari tower with normal labs is about 12 labs so thats 36 ME slots, 36PE slots, 12 copy slots and 60 invention slots. Should be enough for anyone.

It's a solution to your problem or then ask someone who has a lab to do the research you need for you.

Why not just remove public slots and provide a mechanism for POS owners to rent out their research slots to the public?


Not even completely removing them. Increasing the prices on them drastically. Then allowing POS owners to actually be lucrative with it.

How about you get out of your NPC corp and put up a POS?
