The current experimental weapons lab is not in a good place.

What it does is potentially very useful, but it's currently just a pain to operate.


Here's a description of the current function:

The lab works on weapons, producing a set number per day.
When you want to withdraw these weapons, you must pay in the warbarge components for -all- of the produced weapons at once. If you have 6 produced, you need to pay ~1200 components. You have to withdraw them all at once, you can't withdraw only what you can.

Once you withdraw these weapons, they go into your assets. These are completely randomised and you do not know what they are after you withdraw them.


I have three suggestions.

Firstly, enable withdrawal of only the items that you can afford.

Secondly, allow us to see what has been produced when we pick up our items. It's silly to have to go through every page of assets calculating how many you had before and trying to find where that odd item went.

Thirdly, allow us to choose production. It's a little silly what the lab is doing. You should be able to tell it something like "I want Caldari gear" and then have the lab produce Caldari gear rather than random things you'll never use. No, trading is not a solution for this - it is silly to have your own industrial complex trying to produce things you don't want.

1) and 3) choose production is too powerful, player trading should fix that a bit

2) this is happening
