EVE General Discussion

I just had a newbro do this to go pick up more skills, just to find him stuck in highsec. I get it, death cloning across nullsec to rapidly deploy forces on two different ends of the universe makes no sense, but this has nothing to do with it. All this does is harm new players who join nullsec alliances. They are forced to get jump clone skills and have their character trapped for a day just so they can inject some new skills (which in the first month you need to many times).

There shouldn't be a penalty for podding back to just your school. The station you previously set as home remotely should remain available. There would be no way of abusing this to project power, which is why all this nonsense was introduced. If a null block wants to use this to mass move a bunch of players, good luck, because now they are all scattered on the 4 corners of highsec.

I thought that is how it worked before I sent that newbro on is trip, and I don't see why this shouldn't be the case. This way new players are not penalized for joining alliances that require them to set their clone remotely because its in nullsec where newbros cant fly there because of gatecamps.

too lazy to read dev blogs?

too stupid?

And one universal truth rings true in EVE: Don't kill yourself unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing.

OR you could do the much more logical thing and move the skillbooks to the character instead of the character to the skillbooks. This doesn't hurt anyone except people that are too stupid to know what the word logistics means.

It's only bad for new players when their experienced corpmates don't know what they are talking about.

If you have a features suggestion, then take it to the right forum.

It's an easy enough mistake to make when things change, but that's when reading is better than assuming.

This is GD, not F&I.

The comments are the way they are, not because of the topic, but because of the location.

If you want a general discussion about the mechanics, then the general consensus around that seems to be that this occurred because of assumption, poor advice and lack of logistics around supporting new players in your area.

If you post this in F&I, then the discussion will be different.

Going forward, it's probably worth having a heap of starter type skillbooks bought in with a jump freighter or however you manage your logistics, so that you can sell/hand out directly and not have to worry about this again.

How is going to a highsec starter system helping people project power?

Given the OP's corp name it's probably some Bushido crappola.

No not the space ships!

If the 'new guy' needed skillbooks AFTER moving to Null, then firstly either they moved him out there without setting him up or he's not a new guy.
Considering you start with a Frigate skill and access to gunnery skills and the support skills within 24 hours.
Meaning by the time he needs more skill books he can be perfectly set up for both Cov Ops & Interceptors. Meaning he won't be getting stuck in bubble camps & podded.
And of course, being in a Null corp they can provide him an escort to help him along.
Or just get him the damn books.

There are many solutions to this, rather than simply changing the game simply so Null Corps can be lazy and get everything handed to them on a platter.
