Have you ppl noticed? there are NO FREE SLOTS available for material research... I'm begginer in CAS but I'd like to try to manufacture my own stuff... try to do some research, but when I go to R&D, switch to Installation and look for Material Research labs all have used slots... omg ppl, can't there be more labs with material research?? other labs have many free slots...menufacturing is also available... but MR is closed for me! Or do I have other option? I know I could try other region but as I heard everywhere is same... with increasing number of players this problem should be somehow addressed, don't you think?

You can install jobs on research slots where jobs are currently already running, you'll just have to wait for the current job to complete before it actually starts

There's limited supply of everything, labslots too, just as intended.
Remind me about The Maze.

EvE isnt an instant gratification game that will spoon-feed you through it with no hiccups.
I think you just realised that

there is nothing funny in that some activities are not available because spece is already taken... I may ba a bit impatient, but I still think there is smth wrong in this picture... IMVHO RM should be available for everyone... as I look, I think there is just not enough labs... well, time for RM is long, there is a lot of players and so little labs... anyone agree here?
but good think is that next patch should address this problem... at least I hope so... until then I will have to deal with this 'problem'...

First of all, 2 days is nothing.
Second, try other regions. I've never (never!) been totally shut out of Mat labs, as long as I was willing to travel perhaps a dozen jumps to my destination.

I agree that there should probably be more slots, but your comment about 'some activities not being available' is just wrong. The activities are available, you just have to wait. Will you want instant skill training next?

I know that skill training takes time... for each level longer... no problem here...
But waiting 2 days just to start some simple MR is so long for me... never done that and if I made some mistake I have to wait few more days... there is just not enough labs, that's all folks... but I guess nothing will change here so... gotta read some more info on R&D before I try it myself...

If you see slot with only 2 days long queue, take it. Most of slots has longer waiting times and I havent seen empty slot for months now. 2 days is acceptable waiting time.

Man, I'll take a 2 day wait anytime!!
In my region I haven't seen less than a 7 day wait for weeks. And thats after checking about a dozen different systems.

The problem is that the queue is so long that it's only worth doing research if you set it up for a month. That makes the queue even longer. Oh and 2 days is very quick.

Two days is pretty good. This new system is great. Just join the queue. Before this came in so many labs had their slots permanently booked you couldn't even queue up. Go to low sec, you should find shorter lab queues there.
If you plan to do a lot of lab work set up a POS with your own lab and have instant access all the time.
Really two days is nothing, especially when you consider how long it will take to get to ME 10-15.

Not realy.....
As soon as they doubled the lab slots again, all the hoarders were out of business, and lab slots were available almost everywhere.
While the new system is a whole lot better than the old, when labs could be constantly booked by one person (just about the only way to lose it was to get the bug)... it's still not perfect...
The guys right, who doesn't do the maxium, people don't stand in line and take turns nicey nicey......
Probaly where eve fails when people try to bring rl compares into eve.... there's zero regulation to filter out the crap things people do.... lab hoardings allways been one of them:/

Back in the old times there were free slots every so often. But nowadays everyones doing research it seems. Tell me, where do you get this two day wait period? I want to find that.

Lowsec. I tend to find a lot of <2 day queues in The Bleak Lands and Devoid regions of Amarr space (there's even a couple places in Domain that get that short at times).

Wow, I'd kill for a 2 day wait time for MR!
I normally wait about 6 or so.
2 days is nothing. Get used to much longer times.
In any case - be glad we have the current system.
Before each station that did research only had 15 labs - then 30 later - and once you 'bought' them nobody else could use them as long as you paid the bills. Labs were costing *multi millions* of isk to rent as a result.
This new system is awesome.
2 days? piff. Nothing.

nothing here. yet. someday maybe.

CCP is reasonable, I'm sure they will add new slots in time.

Ok so you have to wait in line, queue, but what is to stop a person from putting more BPs into the queue thus keeping the lab longer then the shown 4 day's?
Does the BP go into the next available lab no matter which room on the station opens or is it in the queue just for that particular room?

heres the problem.
It's the same problem that we now have with asteroid belts, labs, and a few other things.
When I started playing the game max server population I remember was around 4k usually.
Seems about the time they doubled the lab slots the max peeps online was around 14k on a good weekend.
Seems now nearly any night I log in there are in the neighborhood of 26k online.
So why would doubling the number of lab slots solve the problem of lab slots when the population has more than doubled?
Same with asteroid belts or any semi exhaustable resource.
Just my opinion.
