Also it's much easier to find ME slots wit reasonable queue times in low-sec/0.0. In highsec in the public ones... 2-3weeks que is GOOD QUE!!! GET IT!
See my point about an me112 battleship bpo, and overresearch. That is the cause of many of these queue problems in empire.
There's only one cause, and that's that the price isn't high enough. It is the regulator that should be used to regulate supply as it is in offices. Price goes up, people start evaluating if it really is worth it. Slots free up.
ME112 BS BPOs were almost certainly researched at a POS, so probably don't contribute to the problem at all. Already people waiting 2-3 weeks are less likely to do research they don't need, as they will run out of slots for research they do need.

People have it good, once upon a time there were less slots and no queuing. You rented slots like offices (but weekly), so every slot everywhere was taken, and people just held on to them forever (price didn't go up either). People hunted for months to find the one guy that forgot his rent or stopped playing :o
That + performance reasons is why the queue system was introduced in the first place ;) However the prices have remained static since then. (prior to introducing the queue they introduced like with offices where the price kept going up while all slots were full, then they doubled the slots available since it still wasn't freeing up slots (even at much much higher prices than today's slots).

I still say BPOs should have ME and PE top limits. It's one of my pet hates that people research for no reason other than "it has high ME research" when infact they could get the same outcome with 1/10th of the ME.
God no. The cost should just go up until people are sinking large amounts of isk out of the economy. I see that as win-win. Limits are bad in such a free game as Eve, do what you should do always and just make people pay to do such things. If they want to, who cares, they're paying for it.
