Re-Imbursed SP

I have a couple accounts with extra SP. I had been saving them for *emergencies* or *optimal* use.

I think now, I have had them for like....2 years or so. 'Optimal Use' is so far out of reality it's a joke. I basicly have plenty of SP in whatever I need but having the dead SP just sitting feels like a bad idea at this point.

Any body else think like this? Is there any good reason to keep them available?

Only if you plan on selling the character, since they may be useful/attractive to a potential buyer. Otherwise, use them in whatever skills look good that you aren't mapped for and reap the benefits.

Optimal use in terms of time saved: Use your reimbursement to buy a skill with an optimal map you never, ever want to map. Charisma skills are a good one.

Optimal use in terms of doing something you otherwise wouldn't do at all: Dump them into a level 5 skill you never intended to take (maybe Logi V if you never really intended to really run a logi all the time, BS V if you usually fly BCs and lower, etc). Now that skill that used to be a waste of 25 days of training is only a waste of 17 days (or whatever, I've no idea what all you've been reimbursed for) and you might actually finish it when you have some spare time.

Emergency use: "****, seriously, we assembled the fleet and no one can actually run a cloaky scout?" "HAVE NO FEAR, MY FRIENDS, FREE SP TO THE RESCUE"

Do any of these characters fly T3s at all? If so, save them for the eventual inevitable loss.

Actually Cool
I just refitted a new Tengu last night. I wanted T2 CCC rigs and I just discovered I need Jury Rigging IV to mount them. Skill points applied.

I think I will train the skill loss in real time....Reminds me to be smart for awhile, because I seriously derped when I lost this one. Oops
