Scientific Networking Skill not working?

Hi, We don't do much lab work anymore as we have already a collection of researched BP and we only online POS to make copies. Last time was an era ago and things seem to have changed. There I go with my problem.

I used to do the job remotely as long as these conditions were meet:

-I am within the jumps my skill level allows.
-Control Tower and lab are online.
-BPO is in station same system as POS
-Datasheets are in POS/lab/same hangar name as BPO.

That used to be enough, but not anymore.

I had to move lot of people to vote a lock-down freedom for the BPO I needed, wait till votation gets effective, take the BPO out to space (with a risk I had preferred to avoid) and pot the damn BPO in the POS along with the datasheets. It works but obviously not as it should.

Either there is some change here I am missing or Scientific Networking skill is not working.

Any ideas?

There were changes - you now have to put the BPO in the POS, directly in the lab.
Or use a station with research facility.

This.... if you want to make copies of your titan BPOs you need to risk them in a POS now.....

Its not much of a risk though unless the goons rapecage the pos.
I've done some really stupid shit in this game.

Ok this may be the signal from the gods I was waiting for to move the POS somewhere else.

The upside is scientific networking is now more useful for actually starting jobs at a distance. Instead of level 1 giving you access to all facilities within the same system, level 1 now gives you access to all facilities within 5 jumps. You no longer have to be in the same region when using scientific networking. And there was an annoying glitch in the old interface that could cause blueprints to be "locked" if things were clicked in the wrong order, the new interface no longer does that.
