This mechanic seems outdated. It's easy to forget to update your clone and if you get podded they're some serious consequences.

It needs to be reworked in some way.

Perhaps a dialog box confirming your clone is not up to date before you leave station?

It should probably be reworked better than that, but that's a lazy fix.

Then again part of the "fun" of eve is making it have hundreds of little obscure things you can mess up on. Or at least watching other's suffer for it.

First, this ^ lol

Second, hasn't CCP said they will be getting rid of this mechanic eventually? Or at least alluded to it?

Yes they have. They want some isk sink to exist, but they dropped costs by 1/3rd in the last expansion.

Losing SP when you get podded is my favourite mechanic. I do not agree to this change at all.

Oh god.

Why is it dumb? Maybe if you watch someone lose 12 million SPs after being podded 75 times, you will change your mind.

Oh god.

Jump Clones FTW,
or even having your home station as a medical facility one

and what you loose is now very much TBH
5% of the skills not covered off the skill with the highest number of SP.... [I'd hate it but ....]

Lower the cost of clones.

I don't like paying 25 extra mil every time I decide to go to 0.0 in a frig.

I just hate it when failure has consequences.

Instead of failing less, let's nerf consequences!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

That's literally 15 minutes of income for an established player.

Why not get rid of pods altogether while we're at it and teleport to a station of your choice after popping?

That's already what happens when you get rid of a pod Blink

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The SP removal generated by the loss of a pod is an essential part of my playstyle. If it is removed, I will no longer be able to enjoy the game or anything else in the whole world.

In before someone says that higher SP clones should only be available in nullsec (as yet another way to say "arbitrarily force targets into my bubble camp!")

In the distant future, we no longer have Google Calendar or any similar programs. You have to remember it or record it independently. An automated warning mail? Impossible with Eve universe technology!

Apparently the skill that was lost after OP was podded with an insufficient clone was Forum Search lvl 1.
