So - I joined Estel Arador, to get some jump clones. Never had any jump clones before. I installed one in Young system, then, because I wanted to install 3 more in low sec systems, I jumped into it, so I won't carry any implants. I jumped into it from the same station I installed it. My medical clone home is Amarr.

I went and installed the other clones. After that, I thought to get back to my medical clone, that had the implants. I self destruct my pod, and end up in Amarr, but I see my medical clone has no implants.

I check and I see I can jump to Young system, where a jump clone has implants. Why is that I don't know, what strange mechanics are at work. Now I'm in this jump clone with implants, but I did not want to have a jump clone with implants, because I intend to use it for PVP.

How do I get the implants back to my medical clone?

---
Edit, more important, let's say I lost these implants. How can I install new implants and make sure I install them in my medical clone?

Now - I got another jump clone in Amarr, with no implants - because I jumped from Amarr to Young... Too much confusion, please fix.

This is more a lack of understanding than an issue with the game. Your medical clone is the clone that is activated when you resurrect.

So you went there with implants, created a jump clone, jumped into it (leaving the clone with the implants in the station you created the jump clone in), left the station and self destructed. Right?

If I've got that right it's working as intended. If you wanted your clone with implants in high sec you need to jump clone back into the clone with the implants, create a jump clone in that station and fly your clone back to high sec, not self destruct it.

EDIT - You say please fix but fix what? What you're describing is normal behavior. You fly to Amarr, dock up, jump clone somewhere else and you then have a jump clone in amarr, where you left it. You can never install implants in your medical clone as that hasn't been activated yet. It will only ever be activated when you die and it will always be a new, blank clone. You can only put implants in your active clone. Once you jump clone out of that clone into another jump clone you will leave your clone with it's implants in the station you were in when you jump cloned. This isn't rocket science and doesn't need to be altered in any way. You need to get your head around how the system works. Everyone else has without complaint.

I think there probably is an opportunity for some description of tutorial to be put in place for Jump Clones, for a new player it can be a bit of a tricky subject to get your head around.

other than that there is nothing that needs to be fixed, it's just a matter of informing the user how it all works.
