POS as a personal "my little eve home" is a valid thing even in high sec. There are high sec pockets, where POS is the only way to do research job. And to build T3 ships you need experimental lab or how it is called. Which is "POS only" area... So there are few reasons why to build POS in high sec. But POS in high sec will not allow you to do moon mining, so if you do not plan to set POS for the warm "my home" feeling or you do not plan to build T3 ships - you will not use it in high sec. Cause no benefit from quicker work or materila efficiency will cover the need to baby sit it, fuel it, have worries about war deck etc...

TL;DR: as a test you surely will have fun anchoring POS and even make few research jobs in labs or manufactor jobs in arrays... But you will tear it down later on any way cause you can do same jobs in NPC stations much more safier and often even cheapier (unless you are hardcore manufactor, who works hard on capital modules or alike).

How can I do research job in a station?
I never did any research job before.
What are they for, what is the requirement to do that, and what product or result do they produce?

And oh, yes, before I forget again, for some reason, the forum stopped functioning and EVE went down, plus I didn't get notification but I got 15 days free.

Blueprints

It looks like research only works on BPO or Original Blueprints.
That is not what I am trying to test and do.


Blueprints
All new blueprint originals bought from the market from an NPC corporation come with a material level and a production level of zero.
This means that in order to manufacture one item from that blueprint it will take the maximum amount of materials and time to do so.
In other words, the blueprint is not as efficient as it could be and it will cost the manufacturer more than it could to produce one item, making the profit margin smaller than it could be.

How can you do research at a station?

Seriously, you open the research part of the station and start a research job.



What does research do?


If you don't even know that, why try a POS in the first place. Read up on that first a bit before actually trying it out, so you know what is involved in it and have a bit of basic knowledge on what to expect.

Yeah, research only works on BPOs, but if that isn't what you want to do? Why the F did you bought a POS?

For your families sake, I hope you aren't like that in real life, buy stuff first and then try to figure out why you need it.



p.s.

You should NOT be looking up EVE stuff on that PC...
I'll reply when I get access to a keyboard instead of a tablet PC screen character input system requiring the Micro-USB connector to be used for power input during recharging (without AC). (I still didn't find alternate male to female connections functionning with USB splitters. I got 2 USB splitters (from 2 to 8 connections with Ports addresses), but they are not compatible with the required micro-USB split yet.) The conditions you refer all have other solutions than the negative connotation cursing associated... It doesn't take much positivism.

Edit:
Good news, Bad news:
Good News, I am probably getting internet at minimum 4 mbps to 7 mbps to 25 mbps maximum data transfer rate for download (data input to my system) tomorrow.
Bad news:
I could have gotten it today before 6 PM, now I have to wait until the afternoon tomorrow.

+ Bad news #2:
It seems the Twitch network is not functionning at this time. (21:04 - 5 GMT)

The test was conclusive and functional.
