hi

my first post

i belive we need a warning masage or sort that will remind ppl who constanty get poded or selfdestruct.

currently there is no msg popup that will warn u to upgrade ur clone .i mean i lost 2 big skills in a week and i m sure there are others stupid like me ,. if devs look into it , that will be awsome.

thanx

You would think that you learn it after loosing BS V the first time :P

ESPECIALLY if you get podded on a regular basis. I mean the typical highsec bear that gets podded might forget it but if it happens regularly? :<

I do believe the medical service flashes, but I could be wrong. Either way, this isn't exactly the F&I forum.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I consider being in station NOT in your pod (because you have to board a ship first to see your pod when ship spinning) this message you require.

It isn't hard to remember that when you are podded, and you wake up in your new clone, you upgrade your new medical clone.

The only exception I can imagine is if you set your medical clone to a station without cloning facilities, which is really stupid so one should suffer the consequences.

Not sure if this still happens, EVEMON gives notifications on clone?

Evemon gives you notifications if your clone is out of date. It's useful for people that don't pay attention like me because Eve doesn't remind you when your SP exceeds your clone limit. If you were podded Evemon would notify you once the API updated but by then you might have undocked and got podded.

I'm torn between "A notification would be nice" and "If you're too stupid to update your clone you deserve the SP loss"...

Even though Evemon has saved me when my SP exceeded my clone limit once I get podded I'm good with updating my clone. It's because I do that in my "stop and figure out what I did wrong to get podded" time P

A good FC should remind you! Esp if your re shipping, if your sulking you can await the API update!

You get an EVEMail when you medical clone is activated.

I am confused as to why that is not considered a message but, a window that you can check a box to never be seen again is a valid method of reminder.

Start the day off slow and taper off from there.

Maybe we all need bells and whistles and arrows pointing to the med bay. It could also mail us telling us so.

I've had FC's mention it but not always. I didn't think about the evemail but most treat that as a notification that they were podded rather than a reminder to update their clone.

Like I said I'm torn between being nice and saying notifications are good and not so nice thinking that they deserve what they get. Usually the not so nice side wins arguments Twisted

I wouldn't call figuring out what you did wrong before you go out again sulking. I've long since gotten over being upset over ship and pod losses. Being upset only clouds your judgement causing you to make mistakes. Thinking about what you did wrong and how not to do it again means you won't repeat failures. I will say that some of my larger "mistakes" have caused me to take a breath but I didn't get upset.

So U die then comes the fancy time waste animation and medical service flashes to remind u to update ur clone...u still want more?
Bro, u don't need CCP u need a doctor to help cure ur amnesia illness. OMG! the movie "50th 1st date" is base on pple like u lol.

Bro, might as well just tell CCP when pilot got podded skill point stays. No more hassle.

Peace ^_^

Is the Tutorial "So you were podded..." not still in place?

If it's still there, and you haven't disabled it because you don't think you need reminders of the fundementals of the game then it should surely remind you to get a new clone?
