1) skill
Just checked that Material Efficiency skill didnt change. Any plan for it?
2) install cost
Really like the cost decreasing by number of runs. You should keep that way, without limit.
3) material cost
Love the change to apply ME on total batch. That change alone is amazing. Stimulate long runs and Makes reserch useful even to small rigs. Wish i had a t2 bpo to check if you get a "free hull" on long runs....
1) Yes, there's a plan, it's not done yet
2) It becomes silly for certain items, we're probably going to use 1) to cap it some how
3) No free hulls!

No tax at starbases. Nothing stops you spamming moons with towers except for other players :)
I was under the impression that we would have the ability to set the job install tax rate at a POS. Did that not make it in, or was the idea scrapped?
I was really looking forward to bottom up income from industry members.
My understanding is that you can only install corp jobs in a starbase, so you're just taxing yourself, which didn't seem worth the development time.
I'll restate how array taxes work for those that don't know or didn't happen to read my post in the F&I thread.
With the removal of remote research, the interface became completely useless. So it was removed. In order to use a POS lab or mfg array, one requires the following roles: Factory Manager, Rent Factory/Research Slot, Hanger Access (Other), and access to at least one corp wallet division.
WARNING! These roles allow anyone with them to completely clean out everything in every in-space hanger and that wallet, with the exception of audit log containers. So if you give someone hanger other access to a hanger division that someone is using to build a titan, they can deliver the titan job and steal it once it is complete.
Because POS arrays only have corp hanger divisions, in order to use them you have to put your stuff in the corp hanger. This makes all jobs installed at the array a corp job, not a personal one. And as a Factory Manager, you are renting on your corp's behalf, not on your own. Thus the fees/taxes are taken out of your currently active corp wallet division. Those fees are then deposited directly into the corp master wallet.
tl:dr; POS roles are at best half-assed, and in cases like this completely broken. WTB POS roles revamp.
There are a couple ways I can think of to fix it. But that is beyond the scope of this thread.
