Just an idea???
If this could be thought over it would be great by CCP.
Now I do not always have access to the game but I always have access to eve gate. Now my idea is that because you cannot always access the eve client (I.e. Being on holidays etc) it would be nice to be able to set up your skill que through eve gate. Now I have this problem occasionally where I will have to set up some stupid 30 day skill that is pointless because I'm going away, just because I don't want my character to stop training. This does get annoying.
What do you people think of this??

Now of course the skills will already have to be injected etc.

Do you really think you were the first to come up with this? You sound like you do.

It still amazes me that people claim to love this game, but clearly hate to log in and play it.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The API used for this is a one way API. I see potential security problems using a 2 way API because people might be able to intercept the sends and trick the system into training multiple skills at once.

Edit: The Mail works differently as (I guess) it uses its own independent server which is text only.

@ OP:This has been suggested ages ago.

Probably the best idea would be to get rid if the need to set skills, instead allow us to accumulate SP, then I can apply the allocated SP whenever I feel I want to log in, like Perpetuum does.

But he might be located some where more remote than a 3rd world country lacking internet access. And he might also lack the foresight to train a skill that is longer than 2 weeks.

I have no idea then.

Unique logins/day are THE key metric for all MMOs.

That's why the queue is only one day long and that's why you won't be doing this via Evegate.

"Search" is a useful function for those with a tiny hint of a clue Roll

You are one hell of a genious. This obviously very well thought out idea will completely change the landscape of the game. I can already see it. Thousands of players will storm the game, because they don't even need to log in anymore to skill up. Clearly, this is the future of EVE ONLINE and all MMOs on the market! I can't imagine why this isn't industry wide standard yet.

You, sir, deserve a medal!

Let's force our already subbed players to login to set a skill every other day, it will make them play, even though they are already paying customers-Genius idea.

If I want to log in to set a skill, that's all I do.

Oh yeah, advanced weapon upgrades V.

Also, doesn't every character start with CPU management 3 and powergrid management 3?

If I was on holiday and wanted to log into Eve for any reason whatever, I would know that I was having a bad holiday.

This is not a signature.
