Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would like to see players be able to transfer a skill from one of their toons to another. Maybe for a fee of a tiny bit of real life money or isk to transfer them. Price is based on how much sp you want to transfer to the other character. This would at least cut down on how long it takes to train skills instead of it being years to do anything fully, Some of my friends stopped playing because of how long it took to train, this would get old players back into the game and get more new players in. And with is costing money to do the company will get money and other players will want to open up even more acounts.

Yes, that is exactly what i mean. It still has to be earned and take the full time to train the skill and then it can be transferred to another person.

Or train 2 accounts fully in 2 different races the transfer to one char.
Idk person it's like I gatta pee and a ask you to do it for me cause.IM. Lazy...

One way to stop that from happening is if a character is bought off market it can't ever take place in a skill transplant. And maybe for the opening up of multiple accounts only one person A can only transfer to person B for that month. Meaning only one person can do it for that entire month.

it be another pay to win feature, no thanks O_o

I have already stated that you can only transfer from one person to another per month not 5 people to one. Also maybe only one skill per day to slow down the process and maybe have something like the history of corps you have been in. Have a history of who you have transffered skills to and who has transferred them to you.

Tell you what, Ill Bite.

Why is this something that will enrich the gameplay of Eve?

Please explain.

And don't just say, "it makes training faster"

The BEST thing about Eve is that leveling up is not a grind. You just want to make it pay to win. I fail to see how in any way shape or form, this would be a sensible idea to implement.

Why is this needed? The only purpose would be if someone made an *** of themselves and wants to start over on another character.

I t does not break eve what so ever. If you don't like the idea and are not going to leave constructive criticism like the rules say to do not bother posting. I only suggested it as a way to get rid of the skills you realized you didn't want on your toon. and could import a few. I am i no way meaning to transplant a whole bunch like everyone else is thinking. Just a few to get them somewhere else. Maybe selling the skills in a forum like you do whole characters. Furthermore by putting a cap at 20 coming in and 20 going out means there is not much of the skills leaving or coming in.

In a lot of ways, I fully support this idea, or at least some way of increasing the speed at which you gain SP. Implants just don't cut it.....

This game is fantastic in a sense that there is no grinding in order to level, however, the time it takes in order to gain even the basic skills is ******* long. I can, and have, purchased characters which have more SP than myself, however, that doesn't allow me to use my personal reputation whenever I am flying with those characters. My character is linked to myself, and that is something I don't want to give up.

At the same time, although this character is only ~9 months old, it cannot fly anything well. Nothing.

There are literally years worth of basic core and fitting skills that every ship really benefits from, and there are still months of training required for the special skills that specific ships need, and you still need many months more for the gunneries/missiles/drones/spaceship commands that are required to fly even frigates properly. And without those skills, whenever you come across someone who is semi-competent and has those skills already, they will kill you 100% of the time. No piloting can fix that.

The difference between myself and a pilot who can fly a perfect frigate is staggering. In a lot of ways, this game comes down to "who has been playing longer".

Yes, a proper fit, and good piloting go a long way, but it is really ******* hard to overcome a 10%+ dps difference, a 10%+ tank difference, and other skills like long range targeting and signature analysis which allow them to get the first hit (which is incredibly important in any fight). And if you have 100 million SP, you should definitely have cyber 5, and can fly with snakes/slaves/crystals/etc. When you take it all into consideration, the difference between a character who has all relevant skills at 4 (which is still better than I have), and a character which has all relevant skills at 5 is at least 50%.

Sure, I could have trained straight for perfect gunneries for small ships, and there wouldn't be a 10% dps difference. However, if I had done that, then there would have been a 50% difference in tank, and a 50% difference in speed, etc. I could have also trained for a perfect tank, but sacrificed the SP I put into DPS skills. I could have gotten into snakes or slaves if I trained cyber 5, but if I had done that, then I would have had other holes in my skills. Etc.....

It is incredibly frustrating that I cannot use my character as well as I could use a character I can just buy with isk. There have been many, many occasions where I die in a fight that I would have won if I had more SP.

The idea behind the skills is absolutely fantastic. You have to spend your own time to specialize, and with how long skills take to train, you can never really have everything on a single character. That's a fantastic, and unique thing about eve. Also, people who are brand new to Eve cannot instantly sit in an overly expensive ship - the time they have to spend waiting to fly that ship should be enough time for them to learn how to not screw up too horribly.

However, at the same time, unless you have a shitload of SP, your character sucks at absolutely everything. You cannot specialize and fly any ship decently until you have well over a year worth of core and fitting skills already trained.

And I'm finding that very discouraging. I could use a character that is significantly better than what I have, and it is really, really tempting, simply because my character, even though 9 months old, is absolute crap still. I know my personal piloting skill has far surpassed what this character is capable of doing, but I don't want to give up the reputation and history that my character has already attained, which is what I would have to do if I used a different character.

At least, that's how I view it, as a mainly solo and small gang pilot. Maybe in large fleets SP is less of a factor. I don't really know. But some kind of change would be welcome. The physical skill training in game has not matched up with my personal piloting skill and knowledge change.
