I know this has been asked before but, I can't find it.
If someone has research started in my corp and they end up quiting. What happens to the research they started assuming that they stop playing before the research is done? Can I get the BPO's they have started out of the queue after it's finished? Is it researched or does it default to when they put it in or when they quit/stop paying?

The jobs that are installed for corp, continue staying installed for corp, and anyone in the corp with the right permissions can deliver / cancel the job as normal.
I'm not sure if the person who has left can petition to get their slot back or whatever, as it should be taking up one of their research slots.

Before you cancel or deliver the job, make sure that the office from which the job was started is still rented by your corp. Otherwise, the BPO is sent back into a hangar that doesn't exist and can be irretrieveably lost. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

i sorta had a similar thing happen to me tho i bought a toon from the forums. few weeks ago i just happened to click on science and industry (was on the wrong toon) and there were 4 bpo's that he put in to be researched. they were sitting there for 17 months before i clicked on that tab.
netted me a cool 400 mil in bpo's. too bad i didnt notice them 17 months ago, they prob have been worth tons more
it made my day

Did they start for corp or start for self?
If they started for corp, anyone with the correct roles can deliver the job. If they started for self, you are SOL. Unless you can log on that character and then deliver it, the BPO job they started is considered the same as any of their assets. You might just as well be asking "If Little Timmy quit the game, can I have his stuff?". It may have been your BPO to begin with, but the second they started a personal job (from their own hanger, to be delivered to their own hanger), the BPO became theirs.
Which is why valueable BPOs should be on lockdown. A BPO that is locked down can be researched from the corp hanger, copied from the corp hanger, and built with from the corp hanger. But the original can never be moved (though copies could be). -----------------------------------------------

Bear in mind that a CEO can always bypass a lockdown (even if they don't hold the majority of the shares) by unrenting the office and retrieving the BPO from the impound hangar. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

A petition solves this problem, the BPO's will be transfered to the private hangar of the CEO though.

If the office has been unrented at any point, it still goes into limbo, doesn't matter if you re-rent it as re-renting gives it a different location id. However, you can always get these back by petitioning.
