Invention teams are coming later in a point release, so we haven't nailed down how they will work. They might work similar (or even replace) decryptors.
Quoted for posterity. Teams do for manufacturing exactly what decryptors do for invention.
On another note, I have to agree with those saying that this is making industry more complex. Whether this is good or bad is a matter of individual opinion.
Personally, I think its a PITA, and will require an entirely new UI aspect for the bidding process. I'm certainly not going to quit over it, and I sure as Hell won't be chasing teams across New Eden. I will simply use the best possible team available and I will likely never bid on them.
The fact that all bids within a solar system are pooled together means that the systems with the most successful manufacturers will always get the best teams. Whether that system happens to be Jita, Nonni, VFK, or some random system remains to be seen.
Since all players can see where those teams are operating, it will eventually come out where the best teams are operating (can you say EveMaps?) and some players will move there to take advantage of those excellent teams. But that will increase congestion, raising the installation fees of jobs. Griefers and suicide gankers will also use this information to find targets. Perhaps next year Burn Jita won't actually be in Jita.
I'm looking forward to see how the dynamics of this new system play out.

I, too, would like to see teams produced by players, for players.
It would require some new content and iteration upon w-space, which would be a good thing, since w-space hasn't seen any iteration since it's introduction.
New gas available in w-space. This can be made into the Inferno drug via a POS reaction and a Drug Lab. The "NPCs" could be made from PI. Combine them and you get a team with various attributes.
It would be useful if one could predict the outcome based on inputs so that they could produce specialized teams on a regular basis. GÇ£I personally refuse to help AAA take space from itself so it can become an even shittier version of itselfGÇ¥

When looking t the benefits vs cost of a team, I agree and posted in the relevant thread about making the cost vs benefit of teams clearer.
It makes no sense for a team to give say 2.5% greater ME efficiency, and then cost you 6% in salary. I'm betting that the 6% would be 6% of the install fee, not the job market value. GÇ£I personally refuse to help AAA take space from itself so it can become an even shittier version of itselfGÇ¥

If a team does manage to move out to a 00 sov system, how do they affect long term manufacturing jobs, like titans? Can teams be applied to titans when a team only lasts 4 weeks? Will nullsec have special pirate teams available to them so they don't have a huge penalty to pulling a penirgman team all the way to XX-XXX system that is 50 jumps away? This "bidding system" that is talked about. Can it be done on corp/alliance scale or is it like fac war lp system upgrades in that we the individuals dump isk into a pot and that becomes the system's "bid" on a team? What happens to unsuccessful bids? If I bid on team best friends forever for 10billion isk, and it turns out the winning bid was 11, do I get my 10 billion isk bid back?
Job costs are calculated when the job is submitted. Nothing else matters once it's in the cooker. As long as the team is in your system when you hit apply, the team benefits will apply for the whole thing.
