Jesters Knight Eclipse Enterprises Empire Research	Posted - 2007.05.21 19:30:00 - [1] I am helping to run a highsec research alliance that has POSÆs all over empire and we have got LOTS of open slots. Does anyone know if they will ever fix the POS bug that even though you set it to ôpublicö use it is still restricted to alliance only? It would be nice to be able to allow anyone to use the slots instead of having them join the alliance. JK Highsec POS labs with no risk of scamming

POSs go offline, and disappear. 1. Imagine that you do research your BPO using someone else's pos, and they can go offline or disappear (Of course you have scientific networking skill so you BPO is safe, at least). Now you just wasted isk and time. Currently Bpo research takes a long time and if interupted before it is finished, say, pos goes offline, you just end up bpo with original status.. wasting a lot of time and isk.(You know there is not half way researched bpo. It's either finished or not. And CCP cannot intervene POSs and it will take alot of work to change current mechanism. 2. Somone put his bpo in your pos lab slot and take a long long vacation (This happens). Then what? Can you finish the research for him? (We are talking about public slots here) This is why we don't have Public POS slots.

It allows for an entirely new market, an actual service. But just like neutrals being taken off the overview, I'm sure the way the game mechanics work now they can't just flip a switch and they'll all go public. ----- Tech 2 Tier 2 Battlecruisers

Then I don't think this will be a problem. i agree with the fact that it would tell you what system it was in but that would be it. the lab selector using POS labs dosent tell you what moon its at and you cannot warp to it. and currently POS's are protected by concord (unless the POS shoots them first, and that is currently easy to avoid) but even if they did know where it was, they still probably dont want to shoot every single hauler that comes through as it would be a major loss to blow up haulers and get killed by concord for no reward. and even if you did wardec the corp that has teh POS, they can have a hauler alt haul the fuel, and your stuck dealing with concord. the reward for a public usable lab system far outweighs the risk involved IMO Highsec POS labs with no risk of scamming

Laurel Wolf	Posted - 2007.05.23 19:58:00 - [15] All it would take is CCP finishing/fixing a non-working feature. And it will be the market that decides how many lab slots there are.

Slate Fistcrunch Direct Intent Blind Beavers	Posted - 2007.05.23 23:43:00 - [20] CCP could fix this without too much trouble. Make it so that you can designate your tower a "public research pos." You then fill it with the fuel required for 30 (or more) days of online time. This fuel is immediately consumed and the tower is given an "online for" timer of 30 days. The tower then cannot be taken offline during this time. Now you can designate the labs to be used for public use. When someone goes to see what public slots are free, they see that you have a tower ME slot available, that the tower is guaranteed to remain online for 30 days (which is the max run time for research jobs), the price for the ME slot, etc. As long as the hi sec towers remain protected by concord there is nothing that could disrupt this plan. They would also have to fix it so that all materials can be be place in the station rather than in the lab for copy / invention / other jobs as well. I do not see how not having to ferry the data sheets, etc. out to tower would imbalance the game that much.

But they are rare, and therefore its supply and demand driven. They wont go much lower because of fuel costs, but they are expensive. i dont consider them expensive for their benefits waiting 2 weeks for npc ones isnt exactly horrible since anything that needs to be put in for longer than 30 days would probably also mean you can afford using a pos Quote: ôEmpire researchö referees to the alliance ôempire researchö we are unable to comment on other research alliances at this time. if this is what you called me an idiot over then you might need to look at yourself - i never considered empire research to mean anything other than your alliance name and have no clue where you would get an idea implying otherwise Quote: And you donÆt have to make an alt corp to get into an alliance, in fact most alliances wonÆt let in alt corps, did you even read the advertisement for the alliance you are referring to? once again i am not referring to any particular alliance - a good pos service will allow research alts - research alt corps into their alliance Quote: As an older player (yes there are older, but IÆm WAY older than your 2 month old alt) i would appreciate it if you stopped insulting me Quote: I know that BPOÆs just tend to pile up.

Gnulpie Minmatar Miner Tech	Posted - 2007.05.24 12:06:00 - [31] Originally by: Dr Karindol It will never happen any time soon, I am afraid. NPC stations never go offline, or disappear. POSs go offline, and disappear. 1. Imagine that you do research your BPO using someone else's pos,and they can go offline or disappear (Of course you have scientific networking skill so you BPO is safe, at least). Now you just wasted isk and time. 2. Somone put his bpo in your pos lab slot and take a long long vacation (Thishappens). Then what? Can you finish the research for him? (We are talking about public slots here) This is why we don't have Public POS slots. I can't follow your reasoning. To point 1: Risk against reward. Sounds perfect to me. If the lab goes offline/destroyed/whatever then the research job will get cancelled and the BPO will return to the owner of the job unresearched. You want faster research? Well, then take the risk that you lose money on the job. What is wrong with that? To point 2: Once the research job is done, it will move to the 'ready' status and is out of your lab slots. I can't see the problem there either - maybe I didn't understand the question. CCP would really improve the game if they would make it possible that research slots from the POS could be rented out to the public like those of the npc jobs. Some of the tools are already there (min. standings, good standing discounts, slot fee etc.), some tools would be nice to have but not necessary. New tools like statistics to see how many research jobs a corp already did and how many of them they did successfully for example would help to see if the corp is a scammer or not. But these tools are not essential for the public renting of research, would be a nice goodie, though. And we could have more PvP! Fighting for customers via low slot prices and trying to finish off your research opponent this way
Vasiliyan SURF Industries	Posted - 2007.05.24 12:23:00 - [32] Thought I had on this recently: make the cost of public labs proportional to the square of the length of the job. That would clear them out for short jobs, while encouraging people to route longer expensive jobs through contracting out.

Fighting for customers via low slot prices and trying to finish off your research opponent this way i agree with risk Vs reward, it would involve having to risk having the POS run out of fuel, get blown up, or the corporation that put it up running off or disbanding. however i would personally like to be able to put in more than 8 days of fuel. one problem is that if someoen does take a vacation, there job gets finished, it moves to "finished" and the lab no longer shows it as in it, i think that if the lab then goes offline or destroyed... then it is impossible to actually delever the job, although i have not tested this and it may not be the case. (although that i think is a bug as well and a simple petettion should get it out properly) basicly i think that its all in place, just not implemented yet. as you said, all the parts are there and properly programmed, they just dont show up. and yea, it would turn the research businuess into a PVP war :) Highsec POS labs with no risk of scamming

That would clear them out for short jobs, while encouraging people to route longer expensive jobs through contracting out. they tried to do that, the only problem is that the cost per hour doesnÆt increase for more hours, although it would be a good idea. the other problem is that with the current system while the 30 day BPO's are researched the lab thinks its not being used, and drops its prices every day (it seems to go off of installations per day, not used per day) that is why there are labs that are full up to 30 days with a 13isk per hour cost. oops on that bug CCP :P EDIT: Spelling suxors Highsec POS labs with no risk of scamming
