Skill injectors might just be the EvE version of coffee, wonder how many hollowed out husks people have made farming them.

I brought up in an IC channel the other day about the unfortunate implications of skill extractors. I've always thought of "skills" as we know them as more like a series of certifications and tests, through CONCORD, but the entire notion of skills being able to be extracted and injected completely vaporizes that bit of headcanon.

Can you administer a skill extractor without consent? Can non-capsuleer skills be siphoned? Imagine if you woke up and someone had extracted your ability to speak.

Thanks a lot. I read your post... Gave myself a high five... Now I'm going to jail for domestic abuse. Twisted

Given that we never had to do anything to learn a skill other than plug it in and wait, I always viewed skills sort of similar to:

this

just with a lot longer waiting time.

Now they just go in faster (if you have lots of ISKies)

With the diminishing returns being how they are, buying injectors on the open market is a waste of time if you're over 50m sp.
