Ricdics	Posted - 2006.07.30 05:44:00 - [1] Good day everyone. I am currently creating a large-scale research/production service for empire players. I will try to separate this into sections as it will be a little long and I donÆt want to bore everybody. Why are you doing this? I decided to purchase a set of 4 battlecruiser bpoÆs last week. Just before purchase I decided to look for a few spare lab spaces. After checking 5 empire regions, I noticed that there wasnÆt a single lab available for at least 5-10 days. So, rather than queuing more projects, I decided to take action and create my own research empire. As business increases, so too, will my laboratory/factory status, and ultimately, more POSÆs may be deployed What research services do you offer? Available ME slots : 15 slots Available PE slots : 15 slots Available Copy slots : 5 slots Price per slot will be 3.5 million isk per week. Lets say the job finishes after 9 days. I wonÆt charge you 7 million isk, I will be charging you approximately 4 million isk for that job. In what way is your service different to all the others? I am willing to insure your bpo. To 75% of itÆs npc value, or a privately arranged security for t2 bpoÆs. So you trade me the bpo for 75% of itÆs purchase price. I do the work, and you pay me upon completion of the research my 75% back for the BPO plus the costs based on the time the bpo was in research. All slots have the same cost applied to them. Any research is able to be done by me. Who the hell are you? I have 3 active accounts. My main on each account is Ricdic and Ricdics. Ricdic is a combat oriented pilot, while Ricdics has always had the industrial backbone. Ricdic has an alt (Crazy Bugger) who is a bank teller with the Eve Intergalactic Bank, dealing in billions of customerÆs isk every day. Both Ricdic and Ricdics have been playing over 2 years. The 3rd account has 3 research alts on it. All of them either have maxed out research skills, or are completing their research training now. This means being able to maximise the available jobs that can be run, as Ricdics is limited to only 10 research jobs at a time. What if your POS goes boom? I chose a large POS for this operation so that I could maximise defences and ensure that (in empire space) there would be little to no chance of the POS to become compromised. The POS being constructed in a 0.6 means customers donÆt need to go near low-sec, and nor do I. It also means that capital ships are not allowed in this space. Taking down my POS would require a lot of battleships for a very long time. I also chose a large pos as it gave me the option of loading up on lots of guns and defence. Due to remote research being possible anyway, most blueprints will be stored in a safe and cosy station anyway. In the very unlikely event of my 2 billion isk POS going boom, any customer losses incurred will be refunded in full. What are the terms and conditions? Your bpoÆs will be researched/copied at your request, for the precise duration that you require of them. If you request for them to be pulled out prematurely, you will incur the cost up until the time the BPO is removed, and will obviously lose any unfinished research at that time. Completed BPO research/copy jobs will be escrowed to you in the event that you are offline/out of system. These escrows will have a 7 day timeframe and an evemail will also be sent to you to advise that your job is complete. Failure to contact me or claim the escrow within those 7 days will result in your completed bpo being liquidated and you losing the 25% that insurance doesnÆt cover. All clients will be given a contact email address when their bpo is placed into my possession. This should ensure that I can be contacted at almost any time. From the date of contact, charges will cease (ie, you ask for job stopped on 20/09. I canÆt stop it until 22/09 û I only charge you up until the 20th and incur the loss)
Ricdics	Posted - 2006.07.30 05:47:00 - [2] Do you handle production? Funny you should mention this. In fact, I do. I offer two different types of production to customers. These are as follows: 1) Fast with loss û Mineral cost + 5% of items market value So lets hypothetically assume I have been given the Cap recharger II bpo to research. I would charge the base minerals/components required for the construction. I would then charge 5% of the 15 million isk market value per module. So 750k per Cap recharger II produced. In regards to T2, prices are quite varied, and some bpoÆs are completely different in value etc. I am willing to negotiate with clients in regards to this. I imagine the æfast with lossÆ (rapid equipment array) will mostly be used for t2 items and possibly some capital equipment. 2) Slow with less loss û 7.5% below mineral cost on BPO. So basically, all I want is 92.5% of the stated minerals required on the BPO. Due to me being able to build with a 15% reduction in minerals, you get a 7.5% reduction in your production costs, while I make the remaining 7.5% as profit. Does production have terms and conditions? Indeed it does. They are very similar to those covered by the research T&C. Production will only be done to your specifications. If you want 10 Vagabonds, ONLY 10 Vagabonds will be produced. I felt the need to place this here as some t2 owners may feel that I could possibly try to sneak in extra runs on valuable mods etc, thereby digging into their profits. This is not the case, and I recommend those with doubts check their research times etc on their blueprints before handing them over. Completed production jobs and their associated bpoÆs / bpcÆs will be escrowed to you in the event that you are offline/not in system. These escrows will have a 7 day timeframe and an evemail will also be sent to you to advise that your job is complete. Failure to contact me or claim the escrow within those 7 days will incur a 5% debt collection fee being charged to your final purchase. Failure to contact me or accept the escrow in the subsequent 14 days will result in your bpo and any produced items being liquidated. So, you have 21 days after production is complete to respond to me, before the liquidation is processed. Do you do delivery or pickup? I am able to do both of the above. However, I require that for either of these services, a minimum quantity of 50,000m3 must be scheduled for the service. This is only available on production jobs, there will be no pickup or delivery on standalone blueprint research/copy jobs. Terms of delivery and pickup? Must be in a 0.5+ system that is accessible without going into 0.4-0.0. There is a charge with this service. The charge will be 50,000 isk per jump. It is limited to 800,000m3. Anything above that will incur a custom fee, or will be declined. Do you have any future plans for expansion? If demand is sufficient, further labs/factories will be built to accommodate this in the future. For now, I am starting with a smaller amount to confirm just how much demand there is for this. If the business takes off, I will definitely look into purchasing further control towers and building more research stations for the public to use. When my labs are empty, I will be operating at minimal profit due to the large amounts of funds required in uptake for the large POS. So it is in my best interests to keep all of the labs loaded with blueprints as much as possible.
Ricdics	Posted - 2006.07.30 05:48:00 - [3] When do we start? Production/Research is slated to begin in approximately 1 week. The actual deployment date will be released as soon as it becomes available. I have currently spent just over 2 billion isk on the tower + all mods and 3-4 months of fuel. I will be spending the next few days deploying the POS, and getting everything into place to open up shop. I am making this active now, to begin taking orders. Please be aware that actual production/research will not begin for around 3 days, however details can be organised in-game, evemails sent etc in anticipation for this research station going live. Employment Opportunities At such an early stage as this, there will be no positions vacant. I will attempt to run this service alone. If I find that I am getting backlogged (all labs in use, maximum capacity) I will look to hire a trusted person who can run a second tower for the corporation. What about investors? How do we get a piece of the cake? Investors are welcome to send me an evemail advising of their support. While no funds will be initially needed, capital may be needed in some cases in order to cover insurance on some items, however the majority of the blueprints in the game (T1) I will be able to fund myself. Investors will work on a schedule where the funds stay in investor accounts, and are only accessed when called upon. In these situations, said investor will receive a percentage of the profits made off the customer for that specific BPO they have provided. If the customer fails to pay, as per normal, the bpo is liquidated, and the investor will receive a share in the profits obtained from liquidation Thanks for getting this far guys. I am sorry it was so long but I wanted to make it as transparent as possible. Please feel free to ask any questions you like about this, all I ask is that you be polite to me and the others reading this thread. Any problems you see in my business plan, please let me know and I will get them ironed out asap. And orders can be made either via evemail or here on the forums. I will be available online around 2 hours after downtime to answer any in-game questions you guys may have. Kind Regards Ricdics

Ricdics Dreadnought Production INC	Posted - 2006.07.30 15:43:00 - [6] Just a quick note. I have had a few queries asking if I am in 0.0. I didn't realise but my initial post was missing my location. I am currently located (and the POS is) in Sinq Laison, in a 0.6 system ( Jel ). This is where the POS will be so there will be full access to all clients. Insured Research and Production Services

Ricdics Dreadnought Production INC	Posted - 2006.07.31 03:38:00 - [8] I have just added a further 5 mobile laboratories to my empire station. I can now handle 30 ME jobs, 30 PE jobs, and 10 COPY jobs. As such, my prices will be dropping by a small amount, and the focus will now be on research, however the abovementioned production will still be available. So I currently have 10 available lab slots. Pricing dropped from 3.5m per week to 3 million isk per week per slot. Customers with large numbers of bpo's, or returning customers will be eligible for discounts, which will be decided on a case by case basis in game with the customer.

McMillen Gallente	Posted - 2006.07.31 16:14:00 - [9] Hi, I am interested in your service. I have well several BPO's i want further research on. I am thinking of using 9 ME slots if available 1-Chimera Carrier ME:2 2-Dragonfly Fighter ME:20 PE:10 3-Templar Fighter ME:20 PE:10 4-Einherji Fighter ME:20 PE:10 5-Firbolg Fighter ME:20 PE:10 6-Ferox BC ME:20 7-Ferox BC ME:20 8-Brutix BC ME:20 9-Brutix BC ME:20 The Fighters have some research already Me:5 PE:5 i think. Also when these are done i will have others and might keep these 9 slots and others on and of for the next say 6 months. Could you evemail me a quote for this kind of usage? Chimera BYOC Deal
James Kirk	Posted - 2006.07.31 22:50:00 - [10] please contact me via evemail or convo i have 4 bpos id like researched and maybe more to follow
Ricdics Dreadnought Production INC	Posted - 2006.08.01 02:07:00 - [11] Thank you both for your requests. I will be online approximately 2 hours after downtime today, so will evemail you both at that time. I am increasing lab capacity to 20 mobile laboratories thereby giving 60 ME slots, 60 PE slots, and 20 COPY slots. With both of the above posters, I will have approximately 15 slots still available, however characters are currently in training to support the extra demand. Kind Regards, Ricdics Insured Research and Production Services
Ricdics Dreadnought Production INC	Posted - 2006.08.01 17:38:00 - [12] James and McMillen I have evemailed you both, as well as others who have contacted me. Just an update for those who haven't sent evemails. My other character Ricdic has high Gallente standings and is the ceo and 1 man owner of the new corp. This was in order to get the corp standings high enough to build the POS. I slated the POS to be deployed 1 DT after I created the corp. However this did not happen. I questioned CCP about it, and was advised that player standings will filter over to corp over roughly 3-5 days. So now unfortunately is the waiting game. Waiting isn't an overly bad thing, as it gives me time to build the customer base to a point where all slots are being used (unused slots = lost income) Initially I will be deploying mobile lab's as demand increases. I will have a spare 10 on hand either way for immediate deployment if required, but until then they will be safely stored in a station or just anchored at the POS but offlined. I have begun taking orders, and a few customers have already provided their blueprints and insurance has been paid to those people. I am removing the production aspect of my corporation. If people are interested in production, this can be done on a per person level, not an advertised service. The final option which may be instated is insurance depreciation. Over time, long standing and long term customers (especially those with higher value bpo's in the corp) will be asked over time for certain percentages of insurance back. IE, Corp insures your 4 dread bpo's at 75% each. After 2 months of research, corp requests 5% of each dread bpo funds back. If user doesnt oblige, we either reneg, or advise the customer that after his next batch is completed we will have to remove his bpo's due to the large amount of capital required to run this and return them to him in return for insurance funds etc. This will be a case by case basis however, so please contact me if you feel you may be in the above category, and I can advise you of this based on your business with the corp. Finally, customers who run ME slots with us will also be given discounts on PE and COPY slots. This will be to promote long term customers and try to allow as close as possible to maximum occupancy on the POS at all times. Kind Regards Insured Research and Production Services

iceburner	Posted - 2006.08.03 02:46:00 - [16] Have serveral BPO's to research. I am interested drop me a line in game. I think I could tie up 2-4 slots for sometime.
Ricdics Dreadnought Production INC	Posted - 2006.08.03 03:29:00 - [17] Current Update We are expecting the POS to be completely deployed after this downtime or the next at the latest after much deliberations with CCP trying to get around this bug. I have been taking orders and explaining setups to customers. Some have chosen to forego insurance and put an alt into the corporation to watch their bpo's and the internal processes, while some others have requested the insurance. I put an order into a queued state once the bpo is recieved. While there might be 50 bpo's that I have organised with customers through evemails, none are good to go until they reach the recieved status. Currently 18 bpo's are in the queue. Some of them are long-term blueprints. Current employee's have the ability to handle up to 35 bpo's and this is continually increasing as more employee's join our ranks and existing ones skill up. Let me take this moment to mention that we are hiring. Please click here for further information on signing your un-used alt characters up to become research agents with the corporation. With only 3 days of training on each alt, you can be off making money right away. For those willing to go higher in the training department, the income will be much greater. Kind Regards, and I hope we get more work queued up. We expect to have our contractors running jobs in and out within hours of POS deployment. Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information. Ricdics Insured Research and Production Services

Ricdics Dreadnought Production INC	Posted - 2006.08.04 01:21:00 - [19] Edited by: Ricdics on 04/08/2006 01:22:53 Due to queues, customers have expressed willingness to pay more for their prints to be researched quicker. Therefore, I have released the business service. Having a business service gives you these benefits: 1) Your BPO/S will only be handled by maximum skill researchers (meaning the maximum 25% research speed is reached) 2) Your BPO's will have their own queues. They are separate to the regular economy queues and as such you won't be stuck right at the back of them. 3) Ability to give a requested deadline. We will endeavour to meet these quota's Business services will be charged at 6m a week (double the cost of an economy service). As of launch current estimated queue times: Business Services - 1.5 days Economy Services - 3-4 days edit: Just wanted to explain, that 4 mobile labs will be dedicated to business customers. Economy customers will have 17 mobile labs dedicated to them. When the business labs are not required for business services, they will be used to reduce the economy queues.

Ore Monkey Eve Defence Force Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.08.08 14:11:00 - [21] Edited by: Ore Monkey on 08/08/2006 14:11:25 Ricdics, I'm very interested in your research service. IÆve been batting around an idea for a large scale research project and I think with the help of your POS it could be really great. I have two quick questions for you though: 1) For what you say it sounds like the POS gets a faster research speed than empire, 25% faster to be exact. Is this added unto the 25% reduction from the Metallurgy skill? If so, how is it added? I.E. Do you get a total of 50% reduction in ME research, or do you get 25% off, then 25% off whatÆs left ( so it takes 62.5% of normal)? 2) On your research queue page you show there being Microwarpdrives in research until 12/8. Is that December 8th? Or is it just that my American month/day labeling is getting it all wrong, and itÆs actually August 12th? My idea would involve somewhere in the range of 10-25 research slots for many weeks. I calculated it out and it would be approx. 450-900mil in profit for you, so IÆd love to talk it over in more detail ingame if possible.

Hey there. 1) Hypothetically, the speed would be a further 50% I believe, however that is assuming max metallurgy skills. Vast majority of my employee's are only just starting out as research agents, and my requirement to them is that they have to have metallurgy 3. This means they are sacrificing 10% of the speed. So at least right now, most employee's will only be 15% faster than an NPC station. Having said that, this only applies to economy customers. Business customers will only have maximum metallurgy people working for them. Basically if you have metallurgy 5, check info on your bp and then calculate 75% of that and it will give the speed to research. Sorry for the latest response, the POS is finally being anchored as we speak. 2) Yes I am australian, apologies for the backwards (to some people) dates I have placed I look forward to working with you Ore Monkey, give me a yell in-game if you are available and we can go into more detail if you like.

Lt Widowmaker	Posted - 2006.08.16 11:42:00 - [26] Hi, I would like more infomation. a Few questions 1) how many pos's are you running. 2) if your only running 1 pos, how you can put more than 15 labs on it (as the Caldari Control Tower has room for only 15 and it is the run with the most CPU) 3) how are you able to put that pos up with so many alts in your corp? after 3 days of them in your corp all the standing for all NPC's go down to the ave of everyones, so if you have 30 people in your corp with 0 standing and 1 with + 6 then your have +6/30 not very good. 4) becouse you have so many alts and wont be able to get your standing up enought to put more pos's up how are you going to grow. 5) you say your trying to cut the Queues but you have a Queues your self? how are you cutting the Queues when with out groth?

Sure. One of my alts was being used as an EIB Bank Teller. Obviously in light of the recent events, he isn't an active bank teller any more. However he still holds approximately 1.2b of EIB float, which will be used to give investors some of their cash back, once the powers at be decide how they plan to do so.
