Still you would have to log in each day to activate if skill training has finished after 24 hours but please for gods sake let the game remember what I wanted to train/que so I don't have to rethink what it was I wanted to train every time.

Alphas don't get skill queues.

Remembering what you want to train is the very definition of a skill queue.

Seriously, ever since the 15th, it seems like 3/4 of all new threads are "gib alfas moar free stuffz naow!!!!" Are you people ever going to be happy with what you get for free, or are you all going to incessantly bleat for more and more without compensating CCP for their work?

Not really...the definition of a skill que is one that automatically just continues to train the skills WITHOUT the need to log in at all...

Just so there's no misunderstanding.

Definition of Queue

Definition 3 applies, and it states:
Merriam-Webster wrote:
a : a sequence of messages or jobs held in temporary storage awaiting transmission or processing
b : a data structure that consists of a list of records such that records are added at one end and removed from the other

So, according to the very definition of queue, your list of skills that you want to train, even if it's not done automatically, is a skill queue. Alpha clones do not get skill queues.

Errr we had to deal with this for years.
Set a long skill for when you logout, like 24h+

At the moment the only workaround is to set up a skill that takes a few days to train at the end of the queue. Some of the older bittervets in here recall the ways when we had to do similar things, though if I recall correctly we had a 48 hour queue (or was it 4 days...), not an insanely short 24 hour queue.

I have a few friends that I've been trying to get into the game that complain about that themselves. And while they lean towards paying for the game, they've gotta stick around long enough to get to the parts of the game that are actually fun, which in alpha takes about 2 weeks to get to a ship, & skills to fit / fly it so they don't scratch the paint on the way out the hangar.

Unlike most of the bittervets that dealt with short queue times when they lived in their parents house, my friends generally have kids of their own, and jobs where they have to work and can't get into the game, so they can't get into the game every day.

If you're having trouble remembering what skills you want to train, get EVEMon or EVEHQ.

1. You are incorrect. The skill queue was 24 hours.

2. Your unwillingness to undock unless you have some arbitrary number of skills is irrelevant.

3. Also irrelevant in addition to being misleading. You have zero evidence to support this.

These threads are redundant and need to be locked.

Op you can train skills past 24 hours on an alpha. That hasnt changed. Fill as close to 24 hours as you want and throw something big on the end. I couldnt play for a week so i through on gunnery 5, 9 days and i didnt have to worry about missing time. I have 4 days worth of skills going right now and im an alpha.

I know that Matthias but I constantly have smaller skills that I tend to forget which ones they where.

Like a seperate "bookmarks" skill que could work...just so it help me to remember which are the ones I intended to train...

Download EvEmon.

Hell, you could always make a list. It's not like you have that many skills to track.
