Would it be a good thing to have the possibility to queue up a skill if you don't match its prerequisites yet but have said prerequisites queued up already ?
I like the way the skill queue works at the moment. The fact that the last skill of the queue can go way beyond the 24h limit makes it quite easy to manage the queue, even if you can't log in very often, assuming you're planning a bit ahead. I'm against the idea of extending that 24h limit. People asking for that usually can't be bothered to log in or to plan things ahead. I personnally don't give a **** about these arguments. If people don't want to or can't play, too bad.
However, for a very new player who can't plan ahead because 1) most skills he wants have prerequisites he doesn't have yet, and 2) because he's very new and only has a very short term vision in the game, managing the skill queue for the first few days can be a bit of a hassle.
Queuing up a new skill right after finishing its prerequisites would probably help with that a lot. That is however something that is not possible with the current system, mostly because you have to inject a skill at lvl 0 before you start training it. I can understand why CCP wouldn't want people to be allowed to inject a skill if they don't have the prerequisites for it yet.
Assuming you change that so a skill can be queued up but only really injected when the training actually starts, that wouldn't solve the issue of what to do with the skillbook. Is it consumed upon queuing up or upon injecting the skill ? And what happens if the skill fails to start because you messed with your skill queue and you didn't finish the prerequisites first ? Does the skillbook reappear ? But what if you're in space in a pod ?
While I believe having this option would be helpful in managing skill queues without rewarding the "AFK training" too much like an extended skill queue would, I'm not convinced it can be done simply with the way skills currently work. Any suggestions ? |

Suggested before, find the search button please.
Lock requested.
EDIT:
Also I believe the last thread I saw discussing this actually debated a lot of what you are talking about or proposing, time the community spent and shouldn't have to spend again because either using search is a PITA for you or you don't know where it is.

Well I actually did check a few other skill queue related threads before and didn't see that proposal mentioned, and it wasn't in the commonly proposed ideas either, so I guess I'm terrible with the search tool. I hope next time you'll include a link to the topics where this is discussed to make up for my incompetence =) |

It has some very good discussions and points in it covering four pages.
