RevTKS, I completely agree.
Te reason why more people haven't come out to support this position is because we're lead to believe that more is better. When actually I just realized yesterday myself that I really prefer the single canisters due to their limited wait time, and as you spelled out, the math actually supports making single canisters more desirable. I'd also like to add that to complete a single canister in the Research Center it only take $7 vs $57 simcash for a triple. In fact if I have a single canister I typically just pay the simcash to process it.
Not sure if EA caught on to this or not but I haven't had a single canister in 2 days. Very frustrating waiting around 8+ hours for these triple canisters to finish. Has anyone else noticed this?
I would also like to know if there's any benefit to having a third Lab, like another processing slot in the Research Center because the Research Center is a huge bottleneck. I currently have 3 canisters in queue with a 4th on its way while this Omega 3 canister processes. Having a 3rd lab seems like a waste. Can anyone confirm there's no benefit and anyway to add a slot to the Research Center?
