IMO there is great value in the Clone VAT.

People always bring up the fact that you can join lots of the corps with clone abilities around new eden, thats great and all but then I have to drop my corp, join that one make all my clones, then drop that corp join my old. Once I get podded I will have to restart the process. It would be nice to not have to rely on standings for clones in hisec. I am not saying that is reason enough to have a Rorq in hisec just that it would be nice.

That's not how jump clones work.

You realise that compression is not what high seccers want though right? Rorquals compression is an ore based lossy compression. It loses you some of the minerals, but it's to help you mine in places you don;t have a refinery and easily ship to a refinery.

Completely false. Rorqual compression is loss-less.

Example: 1x Compressed Veldspar = 166500x Veldspar = 500x batches = 500,000x Tritanium

I own a Rorqual, and have Capital Industrial Ships 5 pilot.

I was always under the impression that if I had a blank Jump clone in say Jita for example. I jump into it from my current clone say in Gergrish. I also have my medical clone set to say Agal.(these are all examples). Now I fly out of Jita in that clone which is now my current I have a jump clone in Gergish. I get podded in Jita. I wake up in Agal. And I no longer have a clone in Jita, just my medical in Agal, my current in Agal, and a jump in Gergish. Is this not how it works?

Your teleportation device has nothing to do with (and no effect on) your SP insurance or vice versa, other than that you can also use the latter to teleport (at an increasingly painful cost).


More helpfully:

If you have a JC in Jita and an MC in Agal, any time you die, you appear in Agal. Your jump clone has no impact on this.
If you clone-jump from Gergish to Jita, you now have a JC in Gergish. This does not affect your medical clone.
If you get podded in Jita, you appear in Agal. This does not in any way affect where your jump clone is.
If you get podded outside of Jita, you still appear in Agal, and this does still not affect where your jump clone is in any way.

Put another way, you are always you. You are never your jump clone — they are just locations (and implant collections) you can jump to. When you die, you respawn in your current medclone station, no matter what. When you clone jump, all that happens is that you are a different you, and the old you is your new jump clone. When you die, you still respawn in your current medclone station.

There are two ways of losing a jump clone: going into your character sheet and destroying one, or clone-jumping away from a station where you have already stored a different jump clone (you can only ever have one jump clone in any given station). No amount of fiddling with medical clones (including dying, thereby activating them) will ever have any effect on your jump clones.

And you think that is a bad Idea. If anything a Roq in high sec is a good thing.

Enough of them will eat all the belts causing mass hysteria with all carebears thus resulting in more players venturing into low null or Wh space.

The Rorqual should be able to Refine Ore in space, like the Ship from Deadspace
