ok, so /rant on

1. books? really? nobody reads books, and we certainly dont inject books, it should be a program on a chip not a book
2. these "books" really need some... it would be really nice if you could open a hangar of books you own and see on each book, a colored dot or some indication as to if you had injected it, red dot for injectable, green for injected
C. it would be nice if the books had a number on them that told you what rank you had trained it to if it was injected and trained.

I happen to have a few thousand skillbooks in a hangar and train alot of characters from them before heading to market, and all the things i have requested are already implemented to the market, so until you guys fix this I will ofc go sell my books to Jita and start using the market, but it really should be easier than it is to use your existing books, this applies also to groups of people who pool books such as eve-uni, and other corp/alliance skillbook pools also, it isnt a problem specific to me.

*edit - a mass inject option that skipped skills that didnt have the pre-req met or had already been trained would be amazing also

You are about to engage in an arguement with a forum alt,  this is your final warning.

I read books.

You're taking the term "book" too literally. Granted, the term "book" is often associated with images of paper or wood tomes filled with letters and words printed in ink... but that does not mean that "books" can only come in that form.
My iPad has quite a selection of "books" within it... all digital. No paper or ink. And they are still "books."

Perhaps this is what capsuleers have developed. A hyperadvanced digital "book" that can be "injected" (see: "plugged in") and slowly downloaded into their minds in such a way that they can recall all the information with perfect clarity.

Soooo... the Character Sheet? It does all of this in some form.

What problem? Everything you have asked for is already available to you through mechanics that are already in place. Or are you asking for a more automated system that gets the skill books for you?

How did you Veterans start?

no i want the books i own to be mass injectable as long as i meet the pre-req and havent injected it already

incase that is not an option, i want visual queues without digging thru skill sheet or attempting to inject tons of books from a corp hangar (this is forum alt so pretend i have a corp right.)

also why are books not injectable from corp hangar, but they are injectable from within a container inside the corp hangar?

some of us play more than 6 characters, some of us play more than 30 characters, keeping track of skillsheets on everyone is not how i like to play

mass inject with auto skip for skills i am unable or have already injected is what i want, and from corp hangar floor.

Hold Shift and select all your books, then right click and inject? It works for me. Also, whatever number of accounts you have, that's your thing; maybe you should have come up with something that would allow you to keep track of all your charecters before creating them.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

^^this, hoenstly, i hear so many people in logistics complain about how hard it is to move lots of materials around in the inventory, when its simply -highlight all currently needed items-, --move to correct hangar, or right-click-perform-action--

honestly, its like a bloody flipping OS, highlight-rightclick, solves all your problems.



OOO IDEA, how about they make it so that you can click-drag-highlight multiple signatures in your overview so that you can target them all at once, instead of having to rightclick-target each individually, would definetly help ALOT in those few seconds before a frig fight starts when you first warp in, would allow you to have all the enemies (grouped because you just fleet warped in, so they are all still far off compared to allies) highlighted for immediate targeting-sequence.


i would like that idea, even though i presented it so incoherently.

There is already a way you kinda can do this. Hold the Ctrl button down and left click each hostile. You will immediately begin targeting.
