Skill Discussions

I see absolutely no harm in it as if people want to travel around really fast, they can just pod themselves and wake up in the station of their choice.

For example - Let's say i live in null, and realise that i need a skillbook not available in the surrounding area, and need to prep some ships for moving in another station - with the current jump clone system, it would take 48 hours for me to get this done and be back at my "home"

Podding yourself, updating clone level and medical station would let me get the same done in less than 10 minutes - but i need to be willing to lose any implants i may have and risk forgetting to update the clone.

If this skill is put into existence, the JC timer would go down (at max level) to 4 hours - much more reasonable.

You still have to spend time at the wheel making sure you don't screw up - granted it is possible, but it's no easy transport

Jump-cloning should be nerfed, not buffed...

I'd like to see a skill that reduces the timer by 1 hour per level, but making it something you can do multiple times per day is not something I think should happen.

I say 1 hour per level so that you can clone-jump at the end of your play-time on day 1, then jump again at the start of your play time the next.

I say it in every thread related to JC times and I'll say it again here.

The simplest solution would not be to add a new skill, but to change the 24h cooldown on JC jumping to 24h per clone. No need for new skills, no need to complicate things.

I'm no Sov expert here but this would make it impossible to camp people into stations in 0.0, which is a viable tactic to keep people from forming for any sort of timer. So if we have a changes that its 24hrs CD per clone, which is ********, you would see groups bouncing around to the uncamped station. It would basically make camping people in impossible. Just have sets of ships for all doctrines and a JC at multiple stations.

Having a skill that lowers the jump time to multiple jumps per day is basically the same thing but isn't as stupid as a CD per clone.

EDIT

You could argue that not everybody is in 0.0 and blah blah blah but it still would effect a large player base and they aren't going to code pod jumping to behave differently in high/low vs. null. Lets be real here folks.

"a lot of alliances" != "everyone"

why would you put all your clones in one station?

You guys hold space? :')

JC timer is annoying but with out it force projection would scale up again. I know i have clones for plexing/ratting (top end implants) and for PvP(cheap and nasty). a skill to pull it down to 16-20 hours would be good but not much more then that.
