I propose the following changes:


  • Awakening in a clone incurs a negative effect called Neurotransfer Shock that lasts for a while.
  • You cannot undock with Neurotransfer Shock (RP justification: the doctors won't let you fly a starship in that state).
  • The med bay sells a service (a drug) that clears the effects of Neurotransfer Shock but this costs ISK.
  • The amount of ISK required scales with SP but remains constant after 54.6 million sp at 7.8 million ISK (equivalent to buying a Clone Grade Pi)
  • You do not have to keep your clone up to date. You cannot lose SP in this system. You only pay to get back into action quick.
  • The duration of Neurotransmitter Shock also scales with SP and reaches a maximum of x (1 hour perhaps?) at 54.6 million SP. The minimum is 10 minutes for very low SP players.


The way I see it, there need not be the possibility of losing SP due to forgetfulness. Also clone costs for high SP players is too high, it discourages them to to PvP in smaller ships or situations where there is substantial risk of podding. I have come up with this system to address these two points. Numbers are pretty much arbitrarily chosen here to illustrate the idea.

nope, remember to keep your clone up to date.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

A complicated solution to implement to "fix" a perfectly fine game mechanic. +1 to don't fix it if it ain't broke.

No. I always have my clone one step ahead of what I need.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

I have never lost SP due to inadequate clones on any characters. I just think this is a bad and unnecessary game mechanic and don't understand the fascination people have with it.

They ALL say that.

And if you've never had a problem with it...then you have no reason to post such a ridiculous idea.

Hypocritical if you ask me.

You don't have as much insight into other people's minds as you think you do.

They also say that as well.

Just do a history search on every request to nerf the "Clone SP penalty" thread.

Prove me wrong hot shot...since you claim to be "Such an expert" on the subject

What we got here is the 1000000th time someone has posted this idea and didn't bother to do their homework.

Move along folks...move along...nothing to see here.
