5% reduction per level in the time required between jump clone activations

primary attribute: Intellegence
secondary attribute: memory
training time multiplier: x5

prereq: Science Lvl 5, Biology Lvl 1, Infomorpgh Psychology lvl 1

check out the assembly hall post as well, and post comments there
maybe with enough attention, we can see something similar in game

if you like this idea, give me a like

I'm in support of something along these lines. Would make things a lot more flexible.

Um, 2% per level means that you can re-jump a max of 2.5h sooner. Nowhere near worth it for a tier5 skill.

At 10% per level you get a max of 12h reduced time (for most of a month spent training that one skill). A more realistic guess for most people would be that they'd go to lvl 3 (about a day of training) or 4 (most of a week of training). Those would give about 7h or 9.5h reductions in the jump time (which is just about right to jumpclone out one evening and then jumpclone back after work the next day).

There was an old thread (thinking 2+ years) in F&I suggesting that implants and location changes be disentangled. Basically, the idea was to offer a new headpiece that's not cheap, but it's something you can carry around with implants in it if you so desire. It's destroyable just like any other item in inventory. In a station, though, you can swap it out so you're now carrying the implants that used to be in your head and the ones you were carrying are plugged in.

This always struck me as a great idea. It encourages more people to buy more implants, which is an overall ISK sink. It allows pirate implant sets to be more widely used. AND, it gets around the whole "making EVE smaller" issue that just allowing wily nily jump cloning across New Eden would create.

So basically, I'd say it's not a bad idea. I just think there are other ways to implement it that would have more and better ramifications for EVE as a whole.

If you want a dev to see it, you should post this as a CSM proposal in their fourm, or in the ideas forum.
