Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 24/07/2008 13:50:07I have anchored a medium tower in Liekuri, a high sec system 3 jumps from Jita, in the same region containing about 30 cheap offices. The tower I run over in Direrie is proving very popular, to the point where queues are forming in most of the ME slots, and so, now that I have a freighter, I've expanded. Slots available to members of Zzz alliance:6 long ME slots (1m install + 5.5k/hr) 3 short ME slots (25k install + 14k/hr) 9 PL slots (5k install + 5k/hr) Discounts for booking whole labs for whole months at a time:
Labs * months per lab-mth Total
1 25m 25m
2 24m 48m
4 23m 92m
8 22m 176m
16 21m 336m
For advanced labs, there is a 25% surcharge. This reflects both the higher running costs and the reduced number of labs I'm able to run as a result. 1 lab-month = 1 lab rented for 1 month. If you want a number of lab-months not listed above, add charges together, e.g. 7 = 1 + 2 + 4. This works out a good deal cheaper than the standard Zzz rate of 14k/hour (over 30m/month just for 3 ME slots), especially if you resell some of your spare capacity. If you rent out a whole lab, you are welcome to join my corp and use it for copy/invention. There is no charge for ME, PL or invention if you book out a whole lab in advance, but copying is 10k/hr. |

Do you per chance have a link to a basic lab FAQ somewhere?
I am interested but have very little experience with research done in a POS.
What's the difference between a normal/advanced/npc corp lab?
How many slots are there, different research speeds? I'm guessing there's copying, ME, PE slots just like in npc corp labs? And how many slots can I use per character with fully maxed skills? Are the slots separate or are there only a certain number of slots no matter whether you wish to do ME or PE research?
Last, but not least, who are you? No offense meant, and although I do know what Zzz does, I don't really keep up to date with who's who. Was just looking for the Zzz link but I couldn't find it.
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a big noob when it comes to quality research. |

Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 15/06/2008 15:37:07To deal with your more specific questions first: 1. Standard POS lab: - 3 ME slots (25% time bonus)
- 3 PL slots (25% time bonus)
- 1 Copy slot (25% time bonus)
- 5 invention slots (50% time bonus)
2. Advanced POS lab: - 2 ME slots (25% time bonus)
- 3 Copy slots (35% time bonus)
- 2 invention slots (50% time bonus)
- 20% higher POS fitting costs (at most 12 on a tower rather than 15 normal ones)
Unless you operate from within House of Marbles corp, you will only be able to use the ME and PL slots, and only for jobs that require no materials. I wrote a fairly extensive lab guide that's linked in the sticky thread at the top of the science & industry forum, if you look through the list there, which should cover any other questions about the labs themselves. I've been operating the tower in Direrie for about a year (it's taken quite a long time for a steady demand to build up). During this time, people operating within my corp have trusted me with several billion isk worth of battleship & battlecruiser BPOs. I'm also fairly well known within the market discussions forum; I act as a trusted third party to audit IPOs using people's API keys. I don't usually advertise myself as an auditor, though, because if people haven't already heard of me by reputation, they probably don't want to trust me anyway. |

Sorry for the delay. I've now replied to you in-game.
At present I'm contemplating setting up a medium tower, with one or two alliance labs and a few more for private hire; there's still scope for one or two more people to go private if there's any demand for it.
Bear in mind that it can take a few weeks to switch from an alliance lab over to a private one, while all the ME jobs complete; I'd much sooner go private from the beginning. |

Tower now up. I decided to buy the structures myself in the end, so all that people need to pay is the rent for using the labs. |

Bump. I currently have 3 corp divisions available with which to accommodate new clients atm, so depending on your needs you can do a block booking in Liekuri or rent by the hour in Direrie.
1 standard lab has already been reserved for 2 months, and I may be willing to offer discounts to the next few people who express an interest, especially if it's a large booking. |
