* a rally point for other local operations (fleets, roams, mining activities, etc.) | |||
* defense / safe spot | |||
* practicing or experimenting with blueprint research facilities | |||

If you'd like to conduct research at | If you'd like to conduct research at Harmonia, you should first be familiar with the basics of [[Research|research]] and [[Production|production]]. | ||
If you're ready, just follow this checklist: | |||
* Check access rights | |||
* Check research skill levels | |||
* Select correct corporate wallet division | |||
* Deposit blueprint in correct hangar | |||
* Set research parameters | |||
* Select a research slot | |||
* Pay for your research | |||
* Wait for your job to complete | |||
* Receive researched BPO | |||
= | '''''<span style="color: tomato">You must follow these rules when using the POS:</span>''''' | ||
* ''Read all of the instructions before doing any research.'' POS mechanics in EVE are complex beasts, and it's important that you follow directions. | |||
* ''Maximum 4 slots at a time.'' Play nicely and let others use the POS too. We're all here to learn. | |||
* ''Maximum 14 days per slot.'' Don't tie up a slot with jobs that last longer than 14 days. | |||
* ''Use role labs appropriately.'' There are eight labs -- five that anyone can use, and three that are role-specific. One of the special labs is dedicated for Freshmen only, one is for Sophomores only, and one is for Graduates only. Don't use a role-specific lab that's not for your role. | |||
* ''Only '''material-efficiency research''' or '''time-efficiency research''' are supported at the POS.'' Don't use other kinds of research at the POS, like invention or copying; you may not be able to get your blueprint back because of game mechanics. | |||
==== Check access rights ==== | |||
To have access to the POS you must have the Rent Research Slot corp role and access to the correct corp wallet division. Right-click your name, then select View Member Details. | To have access to the POS you must have the Rent Research Slot corp role and access to the correct corp wallet division.

==== Check research skill levels ==== | |||
Next, check if you can place an additional research job. This depends on two skills: | |||
* | * [[Skills:Science#Laboratory_Operation|Laboratory Operation]] | ||
* | * [[Skills:Science#Advanced_Laboratory_Operation|Advanced Laboratory Operation]] ''(prerequisite: Laboratory Operation V)'' | ||
Each level grants one ''extra'' research job over and above the base of one. At Laboratory Operation IV, for example, you can have 5 active jobs. | |||
'''Please note that research jobs with a "Ready" state are also counted as active jobs.''' If your job hasn't yet been delivered it continues to occupy one of your slots. | |||
You | You also must have the [[Skills:Science#Scientific_Networking|Scientific Networking]] skill trained to at least level 1. | ||
==== Selecting correct corporate wallet division ==== | |||
[[ | Dock at EVE University HQ to continue ([[Aldrat]] IX - [[Pator Tech School]]). | ||
= | Open your wallet, click on '''Corporation Wallet''' and '''<span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 255);">change the selected/active wallet to the Ivy League Research Division wallet</span>'''. | ||
It's important to do this because when you later pay for your R&D job, the money will come from whichever wallet is active: | |||

==== Deposit blueprint in correct hangar ==== | |||
After you have checked that you can install an additional research job and you have the right corporation wallet active, you can drop your blueprint in the '''Industry''' hangar. To do this, click on the the Inventory icon (second one down beneath your portrait). Drag the BPO from your item hangar into the Corporation hangar marked '''Industry'''. | After you have checked that you can install an additional research job and you have the right corporation wallet active, you can drop your blueprint in the '''Industry''' hangar.

In this case we have chosen Material Research. A new window has appeared giving you some options. The ones to note are Installation and the bottom box that indicates number of runs, which will be marked as either M.L.+ or P.L.+ depending on whether you chose Material level or time level (aka Productivity level) research. | In this case we have chosen Material Research.

The '''Accept Quote?''' window will show your costs for the current job. The line to take note of is '''Total cost'''. | |||
[[File:Materialresearch4.png]] | [[File:Materialresearch4.png]] | ||
You can see the Accept Quote button in the bottom right of this window.

Open your wallet again, and go to the Corporation Wallet tab. You already selected the Ivy League Research Division earlier. Use the '''Give Money''' option to transfer the amount of ISK specified in the '''Total cost''' box.

==== Receive researched BPO ==== | |||
Research assistants periodically check for finished jobs a few times a week and will deliver your job automatically once it's finished. | |||
Do '''not''' attempt to deliver the job yourself. The Industry hangar access is one way. You may drop blueprints in but you will not be able to take them out of the Industry Hangar and you will break the custody tracking chain (and research staff are attracted to shiny BPOs lying around unattended). The only time you can deliver the research job yourself is when you want to re-research the same blueprint immediately. | Do '''not''' attempt to deliver the job yourself.
