Ahoi o/
My idea is to make the Skill bonuses change the ship attributes not when the skill is finished, make them change the attributes for every finished hour of the skill. so the bonus won't be "5% to capacitor recharge rate per level", it would be "0,5 % bonus to capacitor recharge rate every 1000 Skillpoints". In sum you get the 5%, but you get 4% after days of waiting even if the skill isn't finished yet.
This would be awesome on Spaceship command skills, where you have to wait for 20 days to get a level.
Learning at the Moment: 1. Add Skill to quee 2. wait 4 days 3. benefit.
My Idea: 1. Add Skill to quee 2. Benefit every day a little bit
Was just an idea while sitting on the toilet :-D
so do not flame to much :-P

Edited by: monkfish1234 on 16/02/2011 14:21:29 I suspect while this is a cool idea it's something that would drasticly increase db sizes for character sheet etc. if you consider that a BS fully fitted for example has to go and find out what level every skill is that effects the shield,armor,hull,pg,cpu,agility,max velocity,sig, etc etc etc.
there are hundreds of skills that effect a ship. Currently it's a 6 teired system 0-6 which is simple enough. but turn that into 100 teirs or w/e and it becomes a massive job to create all of that information.
more information to go through means that when you undock you'll be sat in that black screen longer and longer and it gathers and applied all the information to the ship instance.
For now atleast I don't think it is a practical idea to implement. ------------------------------------------------

I think you missunderstood me. The ABLE TO FLY A SHIP thing would stay like it is. Also the leveling would stay. I am just talking about the bonuses a skill gives to specific things like f.e. Cap recharge rate.
Yea was pretty sure this would give a much more load to the servers, i just want to know what you guys think about it.

It's a nice idea like i said above, but the skills relate to alot of calculations that need to be made which happen undock or change sessions.
I think if lag can be reduced to a more acceptable level then something like this might be worth looking at, but right now it would add to the problems they are trying to fix. ------------------------------------------------

fail to see how this would make eve any easier?
the skill would still give the same amount when fully trained. just rather than having it at 5% per level, it would be for instance 2.5% per level but have 10 'levels' (simplistic example, would probably be segmented far more than that).
Also i would image that rahter than having a "train to next level" you would just train and the bonus' would gradually improve as you completed more of the training.
End of the day you would still want the skill maxed to get the best and the same as what lvl 5 is now. ------------------------------------------------

I'll explain it too you both, as it's obviously far too complicated.
Training skills to certain levels, means taking a choice. The higher the rank and level, the harder that choice becomes.
Time verses reward.
What you are suggesting is a removal of that choice, in favour of 'get bonuses all the way through, can stop any time and train other stuff and still get bonuses' easy mode.
So NO.

I agree that if something like this was implemented the points at which bouns' increased etc would not be able to be linear as like you say that would remove the time vs reward decision that currently makes most people train everything to lvl 4.
i think currently every level is 5x more sp that the previous. it wouldn't be hard to break those steps down and keep the non-linear element of training which in turn would still keep the need for players to decide if it would be worth doing that last bit for the max bonus' ------------------------------------------------

True, becouse you'd get for example for up to LVL 1 a bonus like 0,5 % every 200 SP, but for LVL V you would get like 0,01 % for every 1000 SP. both of you are right... i shouldn't think about stuff like that, on the toilet..... w00t w00t wtfpwnage train |

Those steps are already broken down into 5 levels. Level 5 should always be the longest train and the choice of whether or not to join it a hard one.
This is one of the things that makes Eve a great game. Changing it only dumbs the game down.

This would be both useful and realistic.

I just thought about this idea again,
i do not really see anything bad from it, the game won't become easier, for new players or "not so old" there would be nearly no change. The good thing is for Old Players which have only long term skills left. So they do net get 5 % bonus to something after 28 days of trainin to lvl V. They would get 2,5 % bonus to get to level 9, which would be after 14 days and another 2,5 % bonus to lvl 10 after another 14 days.
I think it's still a good idea to double the Skill levels but cut the bonuses per level into the half. w00t w00t wtfpwnage train |

Edited by: quadz on 17/02/2011 07:21:45 Edited by: quadz on 17/02/2011 07:20:21 I got to say -1, and this is from a new player (2mil sp) perspective.
New players know that they can catch up to the more advanced players in a reasonable amount of time in specific skill sectors due to the higher level skills taking so long to train.
If your change were to go live, players who've been playing longer and decide to train into something, will train into it sooner (though at a decreased rate of effectiveness of the final level of course). This effectively slides the slider in their favor against newbies who are already seriously disadvantaged in this game.
Part of the reason I signed up is knowing that given a couple weeks I can have levels 3 or 4 in some basic combat skills and pvp. With this proposed change, older players will have that much more of an advantage by training into what took a long time skill, they will now receive part of the benefit early on, further skewing the fight against the newbie. When you add this half a level advantage across multiple skills and skills categories (drones/gunnery/missiles/engineering/etc) it adds up to be a pretty hefty tax on new players Eve doesn't need.
Example. As a newer player getting into pvp, what would you rather face. Someone with drone interfacing 4 training to 5 and thus having 80% of the bonus. Or a player training into 5 and having 90%? Times this across the board for multiple skills and it becomes a huge buff.

The only problem I see with this is that after you break it down into more steps, a bit later someone will propose to break it down into more steps. If you get, what I mean. It's the give them an inch and they'll take a mile syndrome. Or to put it another way: it won't change much, because impatient players will stay impatient.
In some aspects of a game changing stuff doesn't necessarily make the game better, since it all comes down to personal preferences. For example the given topic: how fast you achieve stuff. Some players are really patient. Some other people prefer fast or instant fun. And unless it really is fast or instant, they'll always be a bit unsatisfied. Changing it towards fast or instant usually has only a temporarily effect and you'll be at square one in no time.
That's why I'm always sceptic about such changes, as the 'improvement' is totally subjective and often non-existent, if you look at it afterwards.

this argument makes pretty little sense as the younger player would be in exactly the same situation. as much as a player could be half way between 4 - 5 and have 90% dmg rather than 80% you could be halfway between 3 - 4 and have 70% rather than 60%.
but, for someone for instance 5 years old alot of their skills are at lvl 5 already. so this actually plays more to the younger players who will get more frequent increments in their bonus'. ------------------------------------------------

It's still dumbing down the game and making it way too easy.
I like the fact that some make the choice to go to level 5 and others can't wait and train other things. Those that have patients get the benefits, but it still remains a choice.
