None of these skills are actually ''required'' for any research. However, they will all make your BPO operations far easier and quicker, and are very worthwhile training if you intend to do a lot of research. | None of these skills are actually ''required'' for any research.

* | * {{sk|Science}} - reduces time required to copy a BPO, by 5% per level | ||
''Science'' is the basic skill in the Science section of the character skills. You don't need this skill to perform blueprint copying. This skill will reduce the time required for blueprint copying, by 25% at maximum level. This skill is also the prerequisite for almost all the other skills in the science section. | ''Science'' is the basic skill in the Science section of the character skills.

* | * {{sk|Research}} - reduces time required for Time Efficiency research, by 5% per level | ||
You don't need this skill to perform time efficiency research. This skill will reduce the time required for TE research, by 25% at maximum level.

* | * {{sk|Laboratory Operation}} - allows you to perform one additional research or copying job per level | ||
Every character starts off with the ability to run a single research or copying job without needing to train this skill. Laboratory Operation gives you an extra research/copying slot for each level trained: if you train it to V, you can run 6 research or copying jobs at once.

* | * {{sk|Advanced Laboratory Operation}} - allows you to perform a further additional research or copying job per level | ||
Once you have trained Laboratory Operation to V, you can then train this skill to increase still further the number of concurrent research or copying jobs you can perform, to a maximum of 11 jobs. | Once you have trained Laboratory Operation to V, you can then train this skill to increase still further the number of concurrent research or copying jobs you can perform, to a maximum of 11 jobs. | ||
* | * {{sk|Scientific Networking}} - allows you to start research jobs at range, without needing to be in the location of the BPO/facility. | ||
Requires Laboratory Operation V. Level I in this skill gives you the ability to start research jobs anywhere in the same system, e.g. you can be docked a station and start a job in your [[POS]] at the next moon. Training it higher extends the range at which you can start jobs, to full region range at V. | Requires {{sk|Laboratory Operation|V}}.

* | * {{sk|Cybernetics}} - allows the use of implants. | ||
Certain skill hardwirings - the Zainou 'Beancounter' range of implants - that boost research & copying speeds are available, for which Cybernetics is required. A dedicated researching character would benefit greatly from one or more of these implants. | Certain skill hardwirings - the Zainou 'Beancounter' range of implants - that boost research & copying speeds are available, for which Cybernetics is required.

* | * {{sk|Industry}} and {{sk|Mass Production}} - faster manufacturing and multiple manufacturing lines. | ||
If your researching character also builds items from the BPOs (or BPCs) then do not neglect the [[manufacturing]] skills. | If your researching character also builds items from the BPOs (or BPCs) then do not neglect the [[manufacturing]] skills. | ||
