How about a skill that reduces the jump clone time by 10% or something? kind of tired having to work my jumping around what i wanna do tomorrow instead of what i want to do today.

no, JC times should be raised by a multiple, not lowered by anything.

Just remove the timer once and for all. Same with med clone cost, just remove it.

6hr or 12hr timers make more sense to me. +1

Did you read the other arguments for and against this before posting? Did you find the SEARCH button at all?

It's all about force projection and the need for JC Timers.

No. You have no idea on force projection I take it...

i can only assume you don't have a full time job if you don't understand the need to reduce the timer on jump clones.

I'm sure a compromise could be achieved. Force projection is meaningless when the game puts so many people off (lack of targets).

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

It needs to be a balance, yes allow people to not be ruined for 24 hours, but trust me, you don't want to give large alliances MORE power than they already have.

I'd like jump clone timers to be longer but on a per clone basis. Jump from A->B clone A goes on a 2-3 day cooldown and cant be jumped back into till that finishes however you can jump at any time into clone C. Makes for more tactical positioning of clones and still has the limitation of one clone per station making the mechanic a little troublesome for Sov entities.
