This is just some little idea that struck me while I was brushing my teeth...
I was thinking that there could be some Skill or alternatively an Implant to allow injections of skill while offline. Maybe something like this;
Skill: The Skill will be in the Science category and kind of go hand-in-hand with Cybernetics. At Level 1 it would allow the user to "Pre-Inject" a Skill, and gain the ability to queue one additional injection per level. This would co-operate with the current Skill Queue in that you right-click the Skill and there'd be some option in the ways of "Add to Pre-Injection Queue" or something similar and more sensical.
Seems a bit too easy, doesn't it? I was thinking about some kind of penalty tied to the training time multiplier, perhaps something like a set amount;
10 Minutes x Training Time Multiplier, so a skill with x2 would take 20 Minutes and x8 would take a whole 80 Minutes to "Pre-Inject". And maybe decrease this penalty by 10% per skill level(Or another skill solely to reduce this time. ISK sinks ftw?)
So for example;
Player 1 wants to get Battleships, he's currently at Cruiser 3 and sets it to train to 4. He will be gone for a few days, thus not being able to inject the Battleships skill while away. And instead of putting other Skills to train during that time, he could train this/these skill(s) in order to be able to inject the skill while Offline.
Player 1 pauses Cruiser 4 and gets the "Pre-Injection Skill" to Level 1, he now resumes Cruiser 4 and right-clicks the Battleships skillbook and adds it to the Pre-Injection Queue and is all set to go do whatever he was gonna do.
Alternatively, it could just be some kind of Implant that works similarly but instead only comes with 1, 2 and a maximum of 3 Pre-Injections.
And yeeeeeeeeet another alternative could be an Implant that works with the above mentioned Skill and is "dynamic". If you've got the Implant and Skill at Level 1, you may only Pre-Inject 1 Skill, if you get it to 3, you'll be able to Pre-Inject 3 skills.
And that's pretty much about it, I can't come up with any names for the Skills and/or Implant that would make much sense, not very good at this whole suggestion thing...
I'd like to see some kind of Penalty though, and mine isn't very thought-through.
So, yeah. Feel free to post your feedback about the suggestion as well as any improvements you can come up with! Cheers! |
