Hey there I recently anchored a POS to use for researching some blueprints and overall it is going well. My problem is that the other night I started a research job from my PVP character and realized I meant to do it with my indy character, so I cancelled the job. However, when I tried to start the job over again, the research slot was still booked up. When I search under "Jobs" I only see the 2 other ME jobs working, as I should. But when I actually am on the screen where you "Pick Installation" to start the job, it shows all 3 ME research slots still booked up. The research is only for about 4 days so it's not the end of the world to have to wait for the timer to expire to restart the job, but I was just wondering if this was some sort of bug? or is this the way it is supposed to work? Once a slot has been booked it is taken up for that amount of time regardless or whether the job is cancelled or not? Seems weird... Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance. |

Sadly, yes.

canceling the job doesn't free up the slot?
news to me EC-P8R... You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. |

news to me
I've read that it was implemented to prevent people from reserving slots by submitting long jobs they didn't care about, and canceling them to free the slot when they had something they needed researched.

It frees up "your" slot (skills-wise, total number of jobs you can run), but not the installation's slot (that one remains busy). Tau Cabalander is right, that was the reason, but it really only applies like that to public (NPC) installations, so one has to wonder why CCP didn't bother writing an exception for POS labs. _

I'm surprised nobody has put all of the ME research labs in the galaxy up to 100day queues for the lulz. It can't be that expensive - can it?

Somebody has done something similar on a smaller scale but for even longer durations. They got reprimanded by CCP and told they'd get banned if they do it again, because it qualifies as griefing. Then CCP reset the timers on those slots. IIRC. _

Woah Woah WHAT!? Griefing? I didn't even think that was in CCP's vocabulary, or even the EULA. As long as you don't create excess server load I thought anything goes?
Ever since they banned can baiting outside of noob stations I guess it's just gone downhill...

the current system was in response to people locking up existing slots way back.
making freed up slot time avalible is on the "to do eventualy as time permits" list but its aparently way down on the priority list. (its not as easy as you might think given that the existing system is actualy a "fix" that was literaly stacked on top of an existing system.) .end of line.

It happened before the noobsystem baiting thing, IIRC. But I may be wrong on that one. When you do something that can potentially negatively affect the gameplay experience of a lot of people without reaping any tangible rewards ("lulz" are not considered tangible), that's one of the few things CCP considers "griefing". _

Edited by: Barakkus on 31/03/2011 12:48:18 Unanchoring a lab and repackaging it then redeploying it will free up the slot.
Although you already have jobs going in there, if you have it happen again that will fix it. - - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring

One key to remember is that it is at CCP's discretion. If though you may not get "tangible" rewards for podding someone it's not going to get you banned.

Sure you do - you get the tangible reward of hampering that particular individual's financials, and yo could have done it as a "bounty mission" or whatnot else The mass slot occupation was a non-targeted action that affected far more than just a few individuals, and actually cost the person doing it something while not providing anything even remotely obvious in return.
But yeah, you're right, it's mostly at CCP's discretion, although they tend to err on the side of "not griefing" whenever in doubt.

Hulkageddon is done purely and explicitly for the "lulz", yet CCP is more than OK with it. Bottom line: it's completely and wholly at CCP discretion which doesn't even have to make any remote bit of sense.

You can argue that Hulkageddon gives out prizes, so there's a tangible benefit.
Yeah, yeah, very thin "justification", and you are right, it is at CCP's discretion...
