My apologies if this has ever been suggested before.

With the upcoming infinite skill queue I would love for there to be an interface in game, much like the corporate fittings menu, where a corporation can publish long term skill plans to be implemented in a new pilots skill queue. The way I picture it there would be a skill plan button on the skill queue and it would open a window just like the fittings window, with the ability to choose between corporate and personal, multiple plans, the time to completion and obviously the choice to use said skill plan. Thoughts on this fellow Capsuleers?

It has a couple of easy abuses, but can also be used to rectify skills to get people into suitable doctrines, especially if you can prioritize skills. It should also warn players if they are missing any skills in the qeue.

Overall, a cautious +1, as it makes it much easier to ISbox from bought toons, but is probably helpful for newbies more than anyone else.

I'm a newb! +1.

However, I'm also completely content with keeping it the way it is if there aren't enough who support the proposal.

+1; would be very nice to be able to give new corp members a fit much in the way overviews are shared so everyone is on the same page.

This seems a nice idea as long as its limited to like 5 and not 1000's of skill plans to make it super confusing to the new bros.

Don't care either way on this one but I have a work around to share for those who may not have thought about it

Post the skills and the level each is to be trained to on the corp bulletins page so it is at least easy for the new ones to find.

This gets exponentially harder if you have multiple doctrines or paths within the corp.

Well I feel it should be on the corporation to keep it from getting to hectic for the newbro.

It seems to be a reasonable idea for the corporation rework. A lot of thought has gone into things like roles, permissions, and access but greater functionality is also important.

Thanks for the reply! I think this would add an excellent level of functional improvement without any alterations to the way things work. Corporations could use it as a valuable tool with skill book programs as well as new bro classes, Just find out what someone thinks they might like, assign them the skill books and .gif them on how to accept the long term skill plan.
