LightMee	Posted - 2006.12.30 14:56:00 - [1] First noticed this when using pos lab slots, if you cancel a job in a pos lab slot, slot does not free up, it continues as if it was still doing the job until the job would have otherwise ended, even though you've already cancelled the job on purpose so you could free up a slot. Well it just so happens it does this for stations aswell, including the stations in empire, I had several 0 me bpos in copying but obtained a high me one, there was no free copy slots, nobody was queued to go after my job anyway, i cancelled one job, noticed that no jobs were freed up, i checked how long my jobs took again, and how long until the copy slots were free, both times were exactly the same, my jobs were the only ones, with no further jobs queued behind them. I took out all of my copying jobs and checked again, the slots are still being used up now, finishing the jobs that i have since cancelled. This is not only lame, but highly abuseable, someone could just make all the slots unusable because they are nasty. Stick in a job for a month and then cancel the job, the job slot will be out of use to anyone for a month.
Dread Phantom Caldari Project-Chaos	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:00:00 - [2] its not a bug its intentional to prevent slot reservation
LightMee	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:01:00 - [3] Originally by: Dread Phantom its not a bug its intentional to prevent slot reservation And in the process opens up a far greater abuse? Nice.
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:05:00 - [4] Originally by: Dread Phantom its not a bug its intentional to prevent slot reservation That's the STUPIDEST possible implementation of "anti-reservation" schemes then. A much better version would have been making it impossible to cancel a job in the first place. _ My skills \| Mod/Rig stacknerfing explained

A much better version would have been making it impossible to cancel a job in the first place. It was originally like that, but then people whined they couldn't get their BPs out Between corps atm, the NPC one is strictly a temporary thing. RAWR!111 Sig Hijackz0r!!11 - Immy

BH Runner ISD BH Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:12:00 - [6] Not a bug, its by design. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bugged. Careful choice of who has access and what jobs you start is important in resource allocation. [Bug Report Here] - [Contact Us]

LightMee	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:48:00 - [7] Edited by: LightMee on 30/12/2006 15:49:02 Originally by: BH Runner Not a bug, its by design. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bugged. Careful choice of who has access and what jobs you start is important in resource allocation. And what do you do when someone decides to go around every lab slot in the empire stations, start 30 day jobs, and then cancels then? Better yet, what happens when someone creates 30x 30 days jobs on top of the old jobs and every station in empire has a 3 year queue. Then cancels them, but the 3 year queue remains. Is that a good game mechanic?
Mnengli Noiliffe	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:56:00 - [8] can you offline/unanchor/repackage a lab while it has locked slots?

Is that a good game mechanic? Seeing as you lose all the materials when you cancel, there's no advantage of getting the prints back except that you get the BP back if you desperately need it (minus runs if it's C). So if someone wants to take up all slots building, why shouldn't they? It's not as if you haven't got options; set up a private pos for construction. [EVE TASK BAR?]
Mnengli Noiliffe	Posted - 2006.12.30 15:59:00 - [10] because they can and like to grief? lots of eve players do you know.

Careful choice of who has access and what jobs you start is important in resource allocation. Doesn't make it bugged, I will agree with that, but you have to agree it is a very stupid way to prevent abuse when it opens the door to abuse in the same manner.
Estel Arador Minmatar AFK	Posted - 2006.12.30 16:14:00 - [12] Just wondering, would it be griefing is some POS lab owner would put cash into blocking the station labs and then rent out his lab slots as a service? Seems like a great business strategy

Seems like a great business strategy you can rent lab slots as service? I tried to, only to find out that you only can do that if your clients are in your corp or alliance. not exactly useful for real business tbh. but maybe I missed something? Is it actually possible to open your POS's slots for public access?
Miner Bare	Posted - 2006.12.30 16:28:00 - [14] Umm .... I suppose someone MIGHT decide to waste their time and effort doing that to grief others. The more important point would be that it has not occurred so far. You might be making to much of this. BTW - do you not get a limited number of research slots per character?
Rakeris Legio VIII	Posted - 2006.12.30 16:32:00 - [15] Haha, just go do it, make a ton of jobs and cancel them all, what better way to get it changed? =( ---------- I gave up on sigs. As all the beatings are starting to hurt and leave nasty bruises.
Tachy	Posted - 2006.12.30 16:34:00 - [16] A cancelled job still keeps your skill for a slot busy for the full duration. You can't run around set up jobs and cancel them for clogging up the S&I system. --==*-- The cause for this is not yet known, but we do have a possible fix in testing. by Sharkbait \| 2006.09.20
Jarnau Gurgeh	Posted - 2006.12.30 18:14:00 - [17] One more design flaw: - pay with GTC - don not pay until job finished (1 month until free slot, one more until BPO is researched) One more: - create a free account, - create a research char - use labs Missing feature: not playable account should stop skills and researchs (jobs aborting)

Is that a good game mechanic? If you know of anyone performing such an action, I suggest you petition them. The GMs are quite efficient at detecting such griefing behaviour, and such player will be banned. This isn't a bug, people are not griefing in this fashion, if you cancelled a job expecting the lab/factory to be immediately free and then realised it wasn't, its your mistake for not understanding the mechanic. This was advertised at the time, and for the most part players are aware of the feature as a method to recover a blueprint if required. Its still not a bug. [Bug Report Here] - [Contact Us]
