Over the recent weeks research slots have been getting a lot harder to find in populated space.
Is this because a lot of ppl are all of a sudden researching tech-II bp's or is it a case of shuttle bpo placeholders?
Perhaps it's time to let the lab slot rents go up to something like the fab cost's.

Or prehaps something like real life should happen, and the stations should up the rent, build more lab slots to fulfil the demand, and maximise their profit.

Totally agree with you Marabeth.

The lab rent should be something like:
1.000 isk + (current system security status) * 10.000 isk
Would mean 1.000 isk for a 0.0 system and 101.000 isk for a 1.0 system. So lab slots in low sec system would get some more loving from the players than today. And lab slots in high sec areas would be free and available because they are too expensive to research shuttle BP¦s with them. |

"in populated space" meaning that they are available period? How interesting, I have spent the last three weeks combing Eve for ANY slots ANYWHERE and have yet to find a single available lab. But this gives me hope that one day I might stumble upon a backwater 0.0 that isn't claimed by an alliance or pirate corp with a lab that I can use.
Thank you for restoring hope to my dark little world!

Lol Ulthar, I'm spednig 99% of my time in Empire. And I'm stumbling on free lab slots almost every day. If you want a location contact me via eve-mail, and for a small sum of ISK I can tell you where to go :)

Crielere normally has a few free every day or so - just need to stumble across them at the right time.

Why dont they make the number of slots infinate.
Then, the more slots used by players in that station, the more you pay.

For the love of all that is holy, dont make labs more accessable, as it is every man and his slave hounder is producing Bp'c for micro isk.
Cut the slots, AND up the rent I say

.. so new players can't find asteroids to mine, factories to rent, OR labs to research? Sounds like a game I'd like to pay for...

Couldn't agree more, the mega corps could afford a considerably high price on most of the slots they rent that would easily outprice new players.
How about an alternative - rent a single slot for 10k (say) and you can ME research/copy etc as many blueprints as your lab skills currently allow for from the single slot - renting multiple slots at 1k each is silly, skills and availablility are basically the limiting factor so why not take that on board, make it purely skill limited? Would certainly free up a lot of research slots that way and I can't see a downside myself.
Just a thought

Over the weekend, I found a station with nearly half a dozen research slots free. It's in a low sec. system (less than 0.4).
You just need to look a bit further afield

I agree that the lab slots r very cheap and i think the price should be raised and i like the idea of having the station make more, it would aslo be a good idea if the price range changed with the standing of the corp that owns the station so for peeps with 0.0 rating it could be 100k with peeps with 10.0 it could be 10k and peeps with negative say -5.0 it could be 350k making it easier to get slots for everyone and also it means if u have a alt with a higher status than u it would still cost alot.

no need for any changes oher than limit the number of lab slots a person can rent equil to there leve thy are able to with lab ops. with a max of 6 per person, caorps would at least have to get people to train up the skill to hold the slost, and then there would be a greater chance for the rent to lapse because of the greater number of people involved.
