I'll admit, I'm fairly new to research and invention. I actually haven't installed a single ME research job, invention job or anything of those processes. Partially due to the lack of public slots. So while doing a little PI, I came up with this an idea.
Scientific facilities on planets. In other words, personal research and invention slots on planets. I know POS's already provide personal slots but POS's are somewhat out of reach for an inventor just starting off. I would think planetary facilities provide a happy middle road between beginner level station slots and endgame POS slots.
So here's the idea.
New buildings for PI:
- Materials Lab (Material research)
- Testing Center (Time efficiency research)
- Schematic Facility (Copying jobs)
- Invention Line (invention jobs).
Some notes on the buildings:
- You must place them in systems manually, like command centers.
- They will only have two slots for the jobs per building.
- Each building will take up a non-trivial amount of power and CPU from the command center. By the time you fully upgrade a command center, you may be able to place two of each scientific facility on the planet.
So now you have facilities on planets. Blueprints will all pass through the customs office (and will be taxed at a flat rate depending on the type of blueprint) to be processed on the planet and be sent back up.
I guess doing this stuff in low and null sec could provide bonuses, but I'm not sure if low and null sec POS labs provide bonuses, so that might be unfair.
The Threats and DUST 514 connection:
- Once the boots hit the ground, your scientific facilities will be fair game.
- Lose the facility, and lose the blueprint. They will take your prints and that will be the end of it. Obviously, jobs are cancelled.
- Your facility will automatically send out a distress call if attacked and DUST soldiers will automatically fight on your behalf if you have the cash to pay them with.
So yeah. That's my idea. Go easy on me as this is my first time posting please? |

Or you can hop into a cloaking frigate and find one of the many stations in low-sec that have research slots open.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

This has already been proposed and thoroughly discussed in this topic.
Please do a Google search for this next time before posting.
Feel free to add your 2 cents to it if you've got something new...

I've been checking around my low sec stations and I couldn't find any open slots. Well, concerning copying and ME research in any case.
Maybe I should check around more but I still think PI could be a little more interesting. |

I'd normally say yes to this but I want to see what CCP do with the POS update they promised. |

I agree. Lets wait and see what the POS revamp brings.

Realy like that idea. CCP fixing period is in range from 1 year to 10 years so on pos stuff i would not hold my breath |
