While I was on the toilet a few minutes ago I had a genius idea.

EVE needs a new type of jump clones.
These jump clones can be used by everyone in the corp, alliance or fleet.
You only partially jump into them and leave your skill points behind. The jump clones have their own skill points and have to be trained in a new kind of industry facility to get them. When the jump clone dies all skill points and of course the jump clone itself are lost. For technical reasons its probably best if they don't have the full skill tree.
I am not yet sure if these jump clones have a capsule or just die with the ship they are in.
The jump clones can be easily stored and accessed e.g. in a new starbase module. And they can be transported in every common cargo bay. They can be traded.

In my head there are a lot of use cases I'm not quite sure are in the game right now. But the game can change, I don't see a problem there. The EVE Universe could be made much much bigger.

Seems like a lot of work for nothing really useful, and considering your proposed limitations on these new JCs, something far less useful than the current system. Infomorph Physiology and Advanced Infomorph Physiology already give up to 10 additional JCs between them for any char without any of those limitations at all, why would someone want to JC to an essentially half-baked clone? I can't even think of an edge-case scenario where this would even be considered useful.

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Doctrine clones is what I think you are aiming for.

FC issues me an Oracle, you could spin off 80% of my SP. It won't be used in the ship.

I don't know how much work would be involved in min/maxing my sheet like that but it's an effective cost reduction system for clones.

The 120 mill SP character would be more inclined to do a T1 frigate roam.

No.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Clearly this man lacks faith in the power of the toilet idea.
I bet you could go back in history and find gobs of super important world changing ideas that happened when someone was taking a dump.
In the critical thinking timeline, it's called the "incubation period" and is actually one of, if not the, most important step in a full thought process (no it doesn't NEED to be while on the john)
