Player Features and Ideas Discussion

as long as you upgrade your clone regularly you cant loose SPs (unless you loose a stratigic cruiser) clones are not that expensive so NO

I'd like to see that happening at some point, but some cost to being podded is likely to stay, since otherwise pod travel will become an instant free travel system. Personally I'd gladly take that over the existing system, but it's not unreasonable to disagree with that, so such a change might very well never happen. I'm much more confident in CCP removing SP loss at some point. It doesn't provide meaningful gameplay and alternative death penalties could be used to encourage people to keep paying for their medical clones. Maybe a reduction in SP gain speed and reduced bonuses from skills would provide similar incentives in most scenarios. In a game where a few percentage points here and there make a big difference and people are willing to pay hundreds of millions for them, it would be hard to ignore even a minor character wide skill bonus reduction, especially if clone prices got further reduced.
