EVE General Discussion

Hi guys, been playing the game for a little while, enjoying it.

I'm about to go on a 3-week holiday, where i can't reliably get internet access, and i don't want my skill queue to run 'dry' while I'm gone.
I've got some skills that take 8 days to train, so i'd only need to change it a couple of times, but i will need to update it at those times.

The meat of my question is that i've seen some program floating around on the web, "Mofiki\'s Eve Online Skill Trainer" which purports to allow you to remotely manage your skill queue, being able to add new skills etc.

1: has anyone used this, and if so: did it work?
2: Is this a 'legal' tool to use, and would I get in trouble?

Thanks much,

Sam

If it's not ISBOXER or a Logitech G15 gaming keyboard it's usually verboten.

Best way to know for sure is to file a petition and ask, any responses you get here won't be authoritative unless a Dev happens to swing-by your thread, and even then you are better off having a petition on file should the answer be favorable to you.

My gut feeling after a quick google search is that using that program could get you a ban. Macros in general are not allowed in EVE.

Besides, I really wouldn't be comfortable with putting my login details into a third party program. That sort of thing can lead to account hacking..

Fine in theory, but if he isn't going to have reliable Internet access for logging into EVE, how is he supposed to run a Remote Desktop that uses far more bandwidth?

Yeah.....plugin up to Battleship V.

I wouldn't look for this capability any time soon, considering what had to be gone through to even get a Skill Queue implemented in the game (yes, the queue used to not even exist).

Anything that could login to your account and update your skill queue for you while your not there will get you banned if caught.

Best option is to queue up a long skill, some good ones that will apply to most any ship you fly are Drone Interfacing 5, Sentry Drone Interfacing 5 or Heavy Drone Operation 5.

I'd recommend setting a nice, long skill train. Programs like the one you're asking about generally end poorly for your account. Please keep that in mind.

This is why I love EVE. I can go on a 2 month vacation and come back with Titan V ready. Plus all my macros will make sure I don't stop AFK mining in highsec either. Finally, CCP will ban my account and I will not be salve to this game any longer.

This is about the quickest way to get screwed ingame EVER. I've posted in the past about this. This includes bank accounts, etc. Yours is YOURS.

I don't care if you've been married 75 years. Bad idea is bad idea.

What i do is pause the current skill search for a skill that takes weeks to finish there are plenty, turn it on go on holliday you come back and the long skills is learn. Now perhaps you lose some time but he its always better than 2 days you on your holliday and the skill is finish. But again i call a friend or my mother yes my mother to set a skill on dont care with one. I know it perhaps forbidden but i chance the password afther that so no worries.
