I'd like there to be an extension to the bottom of the skill queue of skills in the order which I plan to train them. If I do not log in, the skills outside the current 24 hour + 1 skill will not be added to the training queue. However, if I log in and open the skill queue, and any of the skills at the top of the "training plan" are eligible to fit into the training queue, then they are either automatically added, or added with a button press, whatever.

This is a quality of life change, and also adds a bit of in-game anticipation and satisfaction in liking forward at one's training plan. It would also provide an easier way to calculate the remaining time until reaching various milestones in the plan.

I would also suggest that skills not yet injected be able to be added to the plan, but that a pop-up inform you that the skill cannot be injected if the skill book is not in your inventory at the time it would be able to be added to the queue.


Like I said, this is purely a quality of life change, which doesn't do anything that can't be done now with pencil and paper. I think it would be nice, and would add to the feeling of responsibility and the gravitas of starting and following a training plan.

The ability to queue a skill which will become injectable at some time in the next 24 hours is a popular request :)

I can see the QoL utility of the "to do list" that you're suggesting too!

I'm not asking for a bigger skill queue, for the simple reason that so many people are against the idea.

Personally, I'd love for the skill queue to always be able to hold at least two skills, no matter how long those two will take to train, but I'm not asking for that, because so many would be against it.


Having skill plans in game as a reminder of what skills I wanted to take next when I drew up the plan would be very helpful though. Especially in those moments when I log into Eve for a minute before leaving the house to check my skills, realize I need to put something in the queue, and put some random skill that sounds good in because I haven't had my coffee yet.
