We can send invites out, bring a friend into the game but then they cant really FLY with us because they have NO skills to do anything.

Heres a feature request. I would like to see a way to provide my friends with the opportunity to get into fleet, the same day, and for the cost of a quarter, like old arcade machines, get into the fight.

Basically their trial account would get a corp boost and allow for their toon to gain skills to enable them to fly a ROLE in fleet temporarily if they pay the quarter to boost skills temporarily.

This would allow me to bring a friend who has never played eve and give them a broader option of getting into my fleet by having a boost in skills, just to get a taste of the game and fleet dynamics without spending weeks training.

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.

If I recall correctly there is a starter-implant that lasts two weeks I think that gives something like +9 to all attributes, I'm sure someone will be able to elaborate.

Given that this already exists, and there's a degree of overlap between that and your idea, likely this won't be implemented.

You should have enough control over your herd of cats to make them understand. If they constantly make misstakes, get better cats.

Right because i cannot teach the rawest of raw recruits to fly suicide tackle in 10 minutes including skill time, fitting time and on a budget where he can afford to lose ships until doomsday...

frig web scram go

i think that takes less than two hours to train and they are useful in a fleet. If you don't know how to use a day one player in a fleet I'm worried for any new player you try to bring into the game and teach

If you wanna go PVEing buy the guy a battleship and go do level4s with him, once has some time to sort his skills out send him my way and Warp to me will make the guy more money they he could ever need...

And have oodles of fun if the whole PVE thing is more his style...
