Hello, just an idea I thought up, could they set up strategic cruisers to require a specialized clone or you have the choice to use one? Make them much more expensive then normal clones (maybe they need to be manufactured by players?) but you don't lose a skill when you die. I'd much rather lose 100m isk then 20k sp.

I hate losing SP :( I think it should have a 100% sp loss though if you forget to upgrade instead of 20%.

Id prefer they just remove the penalties of losing one altogether.

You could always fly T1, Navy, T2 or Pirate cruisers instead and not lose SP.

you can abandon your ship when it's on 20-30% hull and not get the penalty for losing it :P

I wish more people did this. Would make getting new T3 ships so much easier.

You cannot eject when you have a weapons timer
You can, however, close client, although this is considered an exploit I believe.
Chin up and take it like a man. If you can't afford the 3d 6h to retrain a level 5 subsystem skill, don't fly a T3.

if you magically foudn a way to eject mid-fight, which has been removed for prolly a year or more now, then enjoy a ban, because CCP purposely removed the ability to avoid SP loss in even of a T3 dying.

I believe that if you shut down your offensive modules, and last the 15s for the weapons timer to expire, you can still eject..... but I might be wrong....
and please don't suggest sp loss for ejecting from T3's - how does that affect delivery pilots?

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

It's terrible as it. His suggestion is bad though.

They don't have Inderdiction Nullifiers/Covert reconfig.

They could just balance T3 to no longer be crazy OP BS Tank & DPS on a cruiser hull but instead do what they intended them to be, which was versatile but not as good as a T2 at the T2's Unique bonus.
Then it wouldn't need SP penalty to balance them.

Mechanic is good as is. I think it should be buffed and sp loss (Medical clone upgrade voided) should be added to people that lose ships with criminal timers also but that's another topic.
