Posting here for ideas, since idea lab doesn't seem to be visited by devs
Please implement a way to cancel slots remotely I would love to cancel a few slots but to jump 30+ jumps to cancel 1 slot is not worth it at 10k every few days.
Also restrict factory slots to individuals based on Industry/Mass production skill for factory slots and research slots to number they can actually use.
Then add facility for Individuals to make thier rented slots available to thier corp or just for private use, that allows members to contribute to thier corp slots they find but still restricts everyone to at most 6 slots each.
Don't need 16 slots when you can only use 6 with Mass production at 5.
Large corps can rent larger blocks of factory space per member, if all thier members train up mass production, but no one person can monopolise the entire factory of a station they are at. while a corp can.
I would suggest if you did something like this that you implement the remote cancelation a few days before the limit to skill level, to allow those who *may* have rented more than they can use to block competition or to sell to others, to cancel the slots they don't actually want :)
Not saying anyone in eve would do such a thing...no not really they are all such nice people...

Well Rizz, as you know I went out of my way to cancel old factory slots so that only the one I wanted was active and that one STILL got taken off me despite the fact I was up to date on rent and had paid the most recent bill the day before. And look - you've not seen e playing the game much since... I wonder if the two could be connected.....
Petition still open and me continuing to play the game very much dependent on the outcome....

Don't quit because of one single factory slot, Ulf =( The game is young!

Yeah, come on Ulf, that the worst reason for quitting I've ever heard, and I used to frequent the UT2K3 forums :)
The patch is gonna fix up the slot-hogging (I hope) so, at worst, take a few days off. Rethink your strategy.

And in the meantime hunting becomes a complete trial because I can't manufacture ammo, no-one in the area is selling it and I have to ferry it in from 20 jumps away? Hmmm.... that sounds like fun after I spent 3 days hunting down an optimal slot in the first place. What the frig is the point of building up ANYTHING in the game if random bugs can take it away from you and CCP won;t give it back?
Don't get me wrong - I love this game despite its bugs, but this factory slot thing is a litmus test for me of CCPs willingness to correct its screw-ups. I get the slot back or its a sign that CCP doesn't give a monkey's about bugs screwing up people's possessions, and I am NOT going to plough a significant amount of time into the game if thats the case.

Oh yeah, and thats hauling ammo 20 jumps to my base before commencing the 12 or so jumps into uncharted space before you meet anything worth fighting. I was just about putting up with the 12 jumps but the additional 20 ferrying trip? Straw, meet the camel's back....

It is frustrating to lose stuff due to bugs I remember the first time I was killed by minmatar Fleet day 3 of release I think it was due to the Thukker Tribe bug, it really does make you want to give up and leave I stayed since GMs at time were responsive and helpfull I did testing on live with my char with GM at the time to help work out what was happening.
Lately they seem to be swamped and response times are very long, up to 2-3 days at times, and it seems no one cares.
I try to be patient, I've had such high hopes of this game since beta and hoping I can stick it out until they reach them.
And for info CCP, upping factory cost by 800% is still not incentive for me to fly 30+ jumps there and back to cancel a single slot 80k is chump change ;)
Add remote cancelation then I will free the slot I am not using or limit the slots to number you can actually use but money is not exactly hard to get with NPC buy orders in.
