Well I am a new player who wants to work toward the science profession. I've came to notice nearly all of the NPC station science slots, be it high sec low sec, Mimitar or Amarr, copying and ME research slots are ALWAYS maxed out with majority of them having a ridiculous waiting time of 1 month+ (production is also bad but at least there's occasional open ones). I know of the POS option but a starter like me have nowhere near enough money to go down that route.
Should CCP do some adjustments so new players will have some basic access? Below are some ideas I came up with
1. Adjust the available slots in proportion to the player base (in this case a big increase in available slots)
2. Reduce character access to slots in NPC stations to 2. You can only run 2 jobs, regardless of it be BP copying, researches, or inventions. This reduction does not apply to POS slots, thus encouraging more people look into research POS.
3. still in the process of thinking something up
thoughts?

If they add more slots people will fill them up just as much as they do now.

People will use alts.

There is a problem, but there is no easy fix to it. You can find slots with about 14 days waiting time if you look hard enough but if you want them faster than that the best option is probably to rent from a corp that has a POS with spare slots.

It is fine as it is. Join (or have an alt join) a research alliance, buy researched prints, or have someone research them for you. See Sell orders for people offering these services.

Excellent choice indeed
I suggest checking out NER if you wish to go this route.

Used to have to fly 60 jumps into NPC 0.0 to find *one* open and ready to rent lab slot.

Here's what I did: 1. Used the queues in out of the way stations at the far reaches of the region. Typically 9 day wait. 2. Had a friend run my BPO to Curse in his Covert Ops to use the labs there. 3. Had a friend, who was now living in w-space, research my BPO at his POS. 4. Bought my own POS and setup a tower in same w-space system as my friend.
Now when I want more research slots, I online another lab.

I looked on that page. "copy slot unavailable"....:P
Still, I think the limiting char access to NPC slots is a good option here, or perhaps they could do it for the account instead? POS slot access should remain normal. As it stands now any one person can have an account with 3 chars running 15 NPC copying /research slots with just a few days of training. Compared with how many NPC slots are available that is so *
