ALSO I HIT POST, WHY DOES IT EAT MY POST AND TURN IT INTO A HALF-FORGOTTEN DRAFT.

I'll restate how array taxes work for those that don't know or didn't happen to read my post in the F&I thread.

With the removal of remote research, the interface became completely useless. So it was removed. In order to use a POS lab or mfg array, one requires the following roles: Factory Manager, Rent Factory/Research Slot, Hanger Access (Other), and access to at least one corp wallet division.

WARNING! These roles allow anyone with them to completely clean out everything in every in-space hanger and that wallet, with the exception of audit log containers. So if you give someone hanger other access to a hanger division that someone is using to build a titan, they can deliver the titan job and steal it once it is complete.

Because POS arrays only have corp hanger divisions, in order to use them you have to put your stuff in the corp hanger. This makes all jobs installed at the array a corp job, not a personal one. And as a Factory Manager, you are renting on your corp's behalf, not on your own. Thus the fees/taxes are taken out of your currently active corp wallet division. Those fees are then deposited directly into the corp master wallet.

tl:dr; POS roles are at best half-assed, and in cases like this completely broken. WTB POS roles revamp.

There are a couple ways I can think of to fix it. But that is beyond the scope of this thread.

Greyscale: You're correct that we are taxing ourselves, but the tax has a purpose. InGame we have to pay fuel costs. Members of a corp object to paying for features they don't use....Mission Runners and miners don't like to pay for fuel costs unless its in low/null sec or in a wormhole. The 'CURRENT' game allows the assignment of job install costs and cost per hour. Some CEO's/POS Managers will factor the fuel cost per CPU and POWER on the tower and assign charges to the POS module slots based of the amount of fuel consumed. This allows a corp the ability to charge members that use the facilities.

How will I be able to do that when we transition to Crius?

Ok, more issues im noticing as I use this system.

I have an ME 10% crystalline carbonide armor plate BPO, and when I show info on it, I see it should take 44 crystalline carbonide and 11 sylramic fibers. This is the same as an ME 0 BPO on TQ, so I thought that the effect of my research was just not being displayed on this screen, but then I looked at an ME 0 BPO and found that it takes 48 crystalline carbonide and 12 symramic fibers...

To add to this confusion, I then attempted to manufacture something with my ME 10% BPO and I found the materials quoted as 30 crystalline carbonide and 8 sylramic fibers.

Is there any reason for this? It seems as though there are some variables being hidden that are messing with the numbers

He has said like 10000000000 times show info is screwed, use the "Use blueprint" function and see what it says in that window

Whilst we are getting an industry overhaul, would getting stackable blueprint copies (by me/te) be possible?

This would reduce clutter in any industrialists hanger, and make sorting through the torrents of blueprints a much less daunting task.
