Skill Queue Management outside of the game

I have moved for laboral matters to another location where i don't have my computer, and today at 23:37 European Time (Madrid, Paris, etc) one skill finishes in a char that i plexed for multi-training.
I'm at a cybercafe and it's a ******* pain in the ass have to install an old setup (i downloaded the version of the past weekend for improve speed against downloading all the setup that are more of 5GB), update in the launcher and then... the most important... cross fingers to be able to hold the graphical requirements of the game only to change a lonely skill (hopefully Large Hybrid Turret V that will finish in more of 20 days) because you can't manage the skill queue outside the game.

Hopefully, when the main char that i'm training finishes his skill will be able to log on my computer in my new home with a fiber optic, but this is annoying. This is the second cybercafe because have gone to another cybercafe and spent 2 hours for nothing because 3 times the computer have stucked, either installing the game or launching it with the predefined configuration to show the "even most annoying" quarters that hit awesome graphical load.

Is that so hard to implement a page in the Account Management section to manage it, previously entering your username / password of the account or accounts you want to manage?

My feelings.

The question at that moment was: how you ended blocking all ports except those for internet? Hacking related uses for that computer? XD

PS1: >50% of the installation...
PS2: this computer have a GeForce 6100 nForce 430. Is that a powerful card or should change the graphical settings to minimum inside the game meanwhile is loading the quarters for faster loading?
PS3: >75% of the installation...
PS4: Oh ****, integrated graphic card in the motherboard from 2007-2008. Bless and cross fingers for me...

The queue is specifically an ingame-only feature.


Should've put a long skill on beforehand.

Training an alt for minimum requirements of a Vindi shield ship? Why do you think that i'm putting a 20d skill to the queue? It's the longest one and saw evemon to choose what one to train... with my current skills at that moment and the longest at that moment before starting traing Large Hybrid Turret were 4 days for skills with less rank, so no deal for me because bringing internet to home, at least here, is slower.

PS5: Ok, >85%...
PS6: By the way, that text doesn't say nothing of "ingame" feature, at least searching for it...

Allowing skill que updating is something that is being considered with CREST api's isn't it?

It's been mentioned many times in the past, and I believe I also heard talk about it during one of the Fanfest "inbetween presentation" interviews. I believe it was the one with Chribba and the guy who developed Aura for Android (I forget his name).

It's the biggest design flaw of the game imo.

90%... you all, cross fingers for me...
Seriously, i'm a software engineer and i think they can find a functional solution if that's the problem for not allowing it.

PS7: 95%...
PS8: Patching 5%...
PS9: Patching 10%...
PS10: FINALLY! DONE! YAY! Have all a good day / night!

Because CCP wants people to login. It's also why the skill queue is only 24hrs long.
