EVE General Discussion

It's called "unsubscribe" or "log off".

Make JC cost isk, and have it increase substantially as you use it.

24 hour cooldown is base, 1 m isk for each hour reduced, then the next time you use it, 2m isk for each hour reduced, then 3 m isk for each hour reduced, etc.

Sometimes it pays to be fast, other times just wait it out.

Your right.. However this is more a general discussion on the positive and negative affects of changing the jump clone timer.. Though it was nice of you to try and play forum police. Its cute.

So far, the only argument I've seen in this thread against close clone jumping (same region or station) is "deal with it" or "this is just how it is". This only proves my point that the current timer is more of an hassle than a "challenge" and doesnt really add anything to gameplay.

In fact, if im stuck in an expensive clone somewhere unsafe and i dont feel like PVE'ing, ill probably just stay docked or only go on op I feel are safe. Basically, a player stuck in a expensive clone often results in an inactive player ship spinning.

I guess you could say its sort of a choice whether to jump clone or not, but then you cant really predict whats going to happen in the next 24 hours can you?

The jump clone timer should be removed by removing jump clones. Problem solved.

It was a stupid idea in the first place.

I love all this talk about force projection, it's like people have never heard of supercapitals

If you want EVE to feel big again, remove jump
Clones (return our implants)

if you want eve to feel tiny (becuase you can appear across he map in seconds), reduce timer

Nothing else you point out in your posts matters.
Just symptoms of this two Facts

EVE used to feel really vast when:

I had no skill for MWDs
- could not fly better than a cruiser T1
- no access to jump bridges
- no warp to zero
- no carriers jumping 3 months of ships up to 0.0
- no jump clones
- I had to wake up at 3am to change skills

I f'ing hated all of the above.

Just leave this part of the game alone now.

Other stuff to fix before you start breaking things

Doing it the "old way" with medical clones was fine - there were plenty of restrictions and costs to balance. (Such as where you could jump to / where you were (no medical station, no setting a new clone destination) / loss of implants / clone cost / potentially having to use an uninsured clone).

Jumpclones aren't needed, they are just a carebearish way to avoid the above problems - thus making force projection easier, less costly and more convenient.

I used them to great effect and in fact can still use them to access stations where I just couldn't go otherwise. It is great for me, but bad for the game.

Get rid of them or at worst, leave them as they are.

How many supercapitals have been in fights since last Wednesday?
