Hello all, as you know, you have to be logged in to the game to change what skill you're training and what not…

But I seriously think that there should be an app for putting skills in training, usually I am at school for most of the day, but say I have to go somewhere for more than the allotted 24 hours for skills, what then?

Most people say time is money in eve, so hours that could be used for training skills is kinda silly, I hope you guys consider!

Put a long skill in back and front load the skill queue.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Unoriginal suggestion. When you post the same thing that has been posted over and over again because you didn't take the time to look, You annoy people and waste their time.

While from your perspective your idea may seem like a good one, But the entire purpose of the skill queue is to promote player logins. Allowing players to attend to their skill queue without logging in would merely encourage players to not play EVE.

I can speak form first hand experience the number of times I log in just to add a skill, then end up playing for 3 hours. It's by design, it's not likely to change as it's working as intended.

On to helping you with your situation of not being able to always log in to update your skills.

- Keep a very long skill at the end of your queue at all times.

Now I know this may be a difficult thing to do because of how complex it is, But I'm sure that if you merely spend an extra .01 seconds everytime you update your queue to make sure it's still in the last slot, You'll be ok.

TL;DR skill queue is on purpose, it's working as intended, it's not going to change nor will you be allowed to change skills from another location.

Pssshh Don't be in a rush with your TL;DR as they have mentioned that the current limit isn't set in stone, most current talk is about 3days-a week limit.

The topic isn't about the length of the queue, it's about being able to change skills from something other than the EVE client.

So in short, "pshhhhh don't be in a rush to correct people when they weren't wrong."
