...more Lab Slots ?
AND
...more Office Space ?

From what I heard, CCP's goal was 10k people playing at the same time when the aniversary hits...

Office space isn't a problem if you wanna go out of the Superhighway for a couple of jumps, but I can empathise with lab space.... Or lack of.
Took a 2 hour tour of eve in a fast frigate a couple of nights ago looking for a lab, nothing found.  Last time I managed to get one in 0.0 space, now nothing. What gives?

One, or some, of the richer industrial corps. buying up all the labs in order to stifle competition?
Stranger things have happened.

unfortunately even if you added 50 more lab slots per station, considering they cost 1,000 isk to rent, people would just snatch them all up, again.
its pretty damn annoying you can't find a lab slot.. ANYWHERE.

Lab slots should be allocated as such:
Corporation has under 50 members:
3 lab per every 10 members (max. of 15 labs)
Corporation has over 50 and under 100 members:
Automatically allowed 15 labs (as per above rule) and receives an extra 2 labs for every 10 members above 50 (therefore a max. of 25)
Corporation has over 100 members:
Automatically allowed 25 (as per above rule) and is allowed an extra 2 labs per every 10 members above 100.
Of course, the figures can be adjusted to what is realistically usable.

If they raised the price of lab slots to match factories, AND make it so you can only rent what you can use (i.e. based on skill), it would probably solve most of the problem. As it is, I can rent as many spots as I want, even if I lose them if I don't use them, still gives me a chance to tie them up for 4 days.

Remove factory slots and lab slots all together.
Then base the price of the slots depending on how many are taken up in the station or solarsystem.
For example:
Base price is 20,000, slots costs an extra 500 ISK per slot taken up in a station. Or something like that, so a station that has 100 slots being used, 70k per rental period.

give each station infinite number of lab and factory and office slots would be cool.
But raise the price. So there's a base price + (used slots *some isk).
This would also balance the load of the players across empire space i guess, as everyone would look for cheaper labs/Factories.
This might also allow industry corp to undercut others by having cheaper factories than them. Ofc it also allows the big industry corps to pvp, ie go and rent some factory slots at their competitors station to raise the price for factories there :) |

The problem isn't so much lack of lab space, as it is people who want lab space right on the highway. I started a couple weeks ago and all I saw was people complaining about no lab space, so I grabbed a shuttle, set the map to display research labs, and went exploring.
I found a slew of lab spots open (10 total) in Kino, a cul de sac .7 system 6-8 jumps from the highway. Spent 3 hours trying to unload 3 slots in trade and was told that they were too far from people's empire hqs. So go figure, the spots are there. If anyone wants to buy those 3 let me know, else I'll just train up more lab operation and keep them for me.

I'd rather they fix that buggy s*it
I've had lab slots "mysteriously" open up on me even though I've paid up and they were in use at the time...

In otherwords, there where lab slots open... you grabbed all of them since they are cheap, then went to trade to try to sell them for a profit?

I found about 10 open slots yesterday in a station, but couldn't get an office.
Granted, it is in BFE... So certainly not optimal. I can live without the office, but it makes it somewhat less convenient.
I'm going to bring my research alts out and get them to work.

No, I was looking for slots for myself and a friend, we can use 7 between us. Should I have left the 3 extra open and let the next person or try to sell? Well the name of the game is making ISK, so yeah I grabbed them to sell. But if nobody wants them, I'll keep training up lab so we can use them ourselves. Waste not, want not.
