I got no problem with jacking up prices in labs, but if they do that they need to double the number of slots again. This needs to happen anyway, its sort of silly that we keep getting more players but lab/factory availability has stayed constant since they changed how they work.

Sup Riley.  Youre right about the static resources thing, the problem is since research is based on slots theres no really easy way to regulate the number of them. And the problem with poses is theyre pretty expensive to buy and maintain, and considerable risk of losing them in most places, so average joe builder would rather just shove em in a nice safe NPC station.
One thing that might help, and I made a thread on this a while back but cant rly be bothered to dig it up, is a sort of mini outpost that could be placed in space far away from warpables, relatively low cost/upkeep, have like 1 factory and lab slot and be limited 1 per corp. CCP could even sell 'plots' of space, i.e. a bookmark to somewhere off the grid in empire space (oregon trail in space lol). I think we can all agree that theres enough space in systems for an almost unlimited number of them, and Im sure balance issues regarding off-grid safespots could be resolved (isnt there already a probe that scans down anything in sytem?).

But what do they charge? The reason I ask this is both running and renting a POS is very expensive and risky, and really rather inordinate when you compare it to the many inexpensive BPOs that arent worth much and the expensive ones that take forever to cook. For example if I buy an apoc bpo I probably wouldnt trust it in a pos since theres a fair chance it will die or run out of fuel before research is complete. Likewise if I have a medium laser bpo I can hardly be expected to shell out millions to get it worked on since even a modest 500k lab fee would be like 100 times the worth of one of the lasers I could build.
