Skill Discussions

I'm not sure if you're aware of how many third party tools are available just for this.

Also notepad.

the skill queue Optimizer is for unlimited skill queue it right click optimize skill's in order from lowest training time to highest real simple to put in . Btw I don't use 3 rd party programs no reason for it , not going take a risk at getting a virus on my top end rig

Out of the thousands of people who downloaded something like EveMon and didn't get a virus, I think it's pretty safe to assume it doesn't contain malware. Then again, if you're that paranoid and completely incapable of scanning a file, you can even use the browser based tools.

Or, if you're somehow too inept to use a web tool but somehow managed to navigate here and download Eve, pen and paper.


Can I have combat AI in my ships too? I honestly just want to watch Eve play itself.

EVEmon from the official site is virus-free. Even CCP devs have reported they use it.

Same goes for EFT.

You enjoy the game the way it is but want something to change for your needs? Cool stuff.

Also hot damn, that 5mb application is going to make your computer run slower than a P2 running Windows 95.

I am not aware of any of the major 3rd party apps for EVE ever having any kind of spyware of malware bundled with them on their official download sites, and I have been using these tools and others like them since 2005.

Pyfa and EVEMon are both open source and their source code is readable by anyone. Granted not everyone knows how to read source code but if Pyfa or EVEMon did have something malicious buried in them somewhere I'm sure someone (such as myself) would have spotted it by now.

EFT is a bit more opaque but I have never noticed any odd traffic leaving my box on my Cisco 3745 or ASA 5505 when EFT was running. Had someone like me noticed any such traffic over the years I assure you that packet captures would have been started and Wireshark fired up.



Cool story bro. But I think your box may be a bit overkill for EVE. My aging Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition and crossfire paired Radeon HD 5770s run two EVE clients at once, both at 1080p on max settings, each on its own screen, without breaking a sweat.

I seriously doubt that aged box will run anything 1080p cool story and btw yes it was skill optimization was automatic in 04/05 they took out once they put in 24 hr skill queue .
Look it's real easy I am not talking planning queue like 3rd party programs all I'm asking is something simple I stack 5 skills it auto sets said skills from lowest training time to highest , you all act like I'm asking for a golden apple.
btw eve hear of a link tag ? example you got link to x program on your website I tag said link you can't see it server side only when x person dl will it come up happens all the time just check out Google or msn tons of link tags everywhere .
Name calling cause I don't use said program is ridiculous , just because I choose not ot use 3rd party program doesn't make less of player.
Btw source code isn't hard to read so stop acting foolish, and 2 x hd 5950's can't run 1080p sorry card's are only 2 gig and lack 1080p support cool story though a gtx 980 is oc 4 gig card can run 3 x monitor's in 1080p I personally don't see the need to go blind at an early age though .

Please explain how skill optimization was done back when you couldn't queue up a skill to train until after the current one was done training. Back in 05 If your current skill finished at 3am you either got up at 3am to start a new still training or you missed several hours of training time.

There is nothing wrong with choosing not to use 3rd party tools. Just don't ask the EVE devs to spend time writing features that a 3rd party dev has already written.

Also, my steady 60 FPS (capped by my screen's 60hz refresh rate) in EVE, Crysis 2, Civ5, Borderlands 2, Diablo 3, and Bioshock Infinite (1920x1080, all max settings) would disagree with you. I do admit that the thermal output is a bit higher than I would like though. I'm sure I would have issues at higher resolutions but my screens are physically limited to 1920x1080 so, meh.

That's the part that makes no sense. There was no skill queue in 04 or 05. It wasn't even announced until February 09. See?

Jealous of what, exactly?
What you're asking for is literally drag and drop. Why it needs to be a feature is beyond me. The training times are displayed right next to the skill. Is it too much to ask that you reorder them yourself? I know we're crossing single digits with the training times but even someone like yourself can order numbers.

Also, that's the exact change I'm talking about. You said it was in the game years ago, allegedly. The keyword is "was". Past tense, as in, isn't anymore. That sounds like a modification they'd have to make to accommodate someone who can't order numbers.

Go away.
