Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hey All,

Long time player. It's absolutely annoyed me to no end recently to only have 10 jobs per toon.

It's time this expanded out with new skills requiring previous skills to be trained to V, with a few added in.

Allow the new skill book to add 3 job slots per level. Giving a maximum total of 25 jobs (production / research) per toon.

Simple idea, easy thing, hopefully a few of you will agree.

Or I've not missed anything in my absence that increases job slots?

Cheers

i like the idea, however, to take it a step further, should we expand beyond that? what would the limit be? should there be a limit?

Just some ideas to think about. But other than that +1

Isn't this part of CCP's business strategy? Limit the number of production slots per character to encourage us to use multiple accounts? I don't see it happening for that reason.

Additionally, once you have the trained production character(s), production scales pretty well. If I double the amount I can produce by raising the limit from 10 to 20, then prices will fall (assuming that per character production slots are a limiting factor). In the alternative, I could produce the same amount, while maintaining half as many accounts.

My vote goes for leaving it alone.

IF it get added let it be a high rank skill. Now its faster to train a new toon to 10 manufacture/research with skill for T1 production and ME/TE research than getting that last slot. Something like 16-18x for a 3rd skill or even high if it gives more than 1 slot/level

So long as it comes with a properly balanced train time and the book prices are expensive im down

I've got a few accounts, 3 of them have extra alts for lab work. Those of us with alts, only find it inconvenient to train up a blank slot just for lab research.

Realistically, it's just the next step. Even if - big if - people get the 22/25 job slots, I'd still train it on my other toons.

Ccp doesn't have those people, though.

What if we approached it similar to stacking penalties? The skill deals with the number of jobs you can run efficiently, and beyond that point, times and costs increase (potentially bonded decrease as well). Related skills to reduce impact and such, would allow a smart pilot to push limits and maximize to an extent.

There's enough slots already. 3 accounts is fairly common in this game which has a potential for 90 slots. At 25 slots per character you'd have a significant amount of players with 225+ potential slots.

This just means you're not a min-maxer industrialist. As a joke, i told a few of my friends about that skill, and the first thing they did was giving me ISKs and asking me to go buy a few. And by a few, i mean 20+. Per person. (Had to reimburse it...) Because yes, they thought it would be a good investment. For all of their industry toons.

And, should it be introduced, i'd buy it to, for all my toons. Why? Because doing so would give me a big advantage over all the people who won't. And it would ensure i don't fall too far behind the big industry guys.
