If CCP nerfs R&D Agents and makes Data Cores available only through Factional Warfare Loyality Points Stores, then I want all skillpoints in the 'Research Project Management' skill to be reimbursed as well as the ISK amount for the skillbook. The rest of the science skills are still needed for invention and production.

Suggestion: post features and ideas in the features and ideas forum. Also, suggestion: search first.

Oh, and god no. Horrible idea that doesn't solve any kind of problem but breaks a whole lot of things, even if it's just a one-time deal.

No.

First off, it would become an Aurum service just to encourage CCP to add more of them and secondly, skill planning is something you need to keep a long term goal in mind. If you think you are going to waste skillpoints, you should have reassessed your training plan to begin with.

What a terrible idea for even worse reasons. The next thing you will be suggesting is that CCP remove all racial variation. (oops they already did that)
Btw that old steep learning curve ( which is what attracted me to this game in the first place) is long gone. I did all the newbie stuff recently and was flooded with information (much of it very good) and tons of free skillbooks etc. That coupled with the poorly thought out 20 attribute points in each attribute at character creation has turned that once cool learning curve into a small bump.

I would only possibly say sure to this if during the re-allocation you got 25% of the SP back that you wanted re-allocate. 10mil SP re-allocated gives you 2.5 back. There should be consequences for all actions if you messed up in your training then you should have to live with it.

i'm all for SP relocation as long as you lose 50% of the LP you relocate...

so if i want to change caldari BS 5 into minmitar BS i would be at like lvl 4, not level 5.
a full blown miner wouldn't be able to jump into a max skilled nightmare, but might be able to jump in a raven with half decent skills.

Or you could just train those skills now and have both, or does a character become inoperable while learning new skills?

If EVE had a cap of like 50m skillpoints that you could ever distribute, ya sure we need a respec option. But you are never blocked from training what you want so we don't need a respec. I don't see why you shouldn't have to train skills just like everybody else. There is no such thing as wasted skillpoints.

If you really don't want to wait then just buy a character on the character bazaar.

Nice alt spam on the first 6 posts.

You can always buy a new char...there are people who create incredibly focused chars just to sell them a year later for 10bill more than what they spent for them in plexes.

So assuming this i say lets CCP implement this idea: 1000isk a SP.

I would still prefer to buy a new char though...

This is my first EVE character. I have about 15 million SP's. Of that about 80,000 is wasted at the moment. These are really lvl 1-3 skills that I didnt need at the time. Maybe 1 days worth of training. Not really gaining much changing them. Especially as I grow older in the game, I can utilise those skills at a later date.

Any newb that has more wasted skills than that, didnt do their homework as they played, and believe me, I was a noob newb


This certainly does not get my vote. It would mean, opening doors relating to SP, that are best left shut, locked and hidden, for all eternity

Everyone was a noob once, everyone makes mistakes at first. Live with it, it's part of learning and growing and getting a feel for what the game is about.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

Hey everyone, as we all know, the learning curve in EVE Online is quite steep. This picture sums it up quite nicely : http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3088/2335016192_6003c39c4c_z.jpg?zz=1

I could bet that everyone who still uses their first character as their main character has a LOT of wasted skillpoints. I'd like to purpose that CCP Implement a ONE TIME ONLY total skillpoint reallocation AFTER 5 million or maybe 10 million total skillpoints. This could possibly be ever one time per account should it become a problem. Or even time based, such as having to hold the character on your account for a year or more before AND have the skillpoint requirement before reallocation becomes available.

Let me know what you guys think. Suggestions on refining this are greatly welcome.


No, no, no - this is the path to hell.

I object to your post, and not just because you can't spell "propose"

Nope, you should have been smarter with your decisions. After 8 years the only skillpoints i regret are the 50k i put into industry. Ive been very careful when training skills, and my character is totally awesome now as a result. You were stupid with your training and now you are at an disadvantage. Everything is as it should be.
