Hey all,
I apologise if this has already been put forward however I would love the training skill time to be increased from 24 hours to 48 hours or maybe even 60 hours.
My thinking behind this is as you progress your skills, the training time increases to the point where you can only stack 1 skill at a time.
This becomes a pain when you are away for a few days and have no access to Eve so you have wasted training time.
I am sure people who travel a lot or who do not have access to Eve for days at a time often can find this frustrating as you can occur weeks of wasted training time.
If this idea has been put forward before and shot down then once again I apologise.

Why not a week? For many players the ability to stack more than 1 skill at a time would require a month plus of training queue.
It is all about scheduling your training queue. 24 hours is plenty, as the rational complaint was in regards to having to wake up at 4am to change skill training. There are always plenty of good skills to train to tide you over for a few days if you plan your training right.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

The extra 24 hours would be enough to prevent "morning wake-ups" for skill training. Anything more would allow people to skill up without ever opening the client for days on end, which is not right.
EDIT:
Reply and support you're own thread too :) So I agree with this. Ignore the guy above, he trolls every thread, probably has his five-minute response delay timer up 99% of the time.
Don't apologize to trolls either in your original proposal. |

Oh look. "he doesnt agree with my super duper proposal. he must be trolling! because everyone with the right mind would just hit support on my idea".
Dont want to burst your bubble, but not everyone who disagrees with you is trolling you.
On the topic of this thread: the skill queue should solve exactly one problem: no more alarm clocking for changing skill training. it does that pretty well and gives you room to shuffle skills around so you get over the night. we dont need longer queues. If you had invested a bit time in searching, you would have found out that this is the general answer you get on this suggestion.

Telling you that you are wrong is not trolling. I dignified your post with a response and explanation, which I probably shouldn't have. I did not say anything outrageous, try to derail the topic, or degrade you (unlike you have just done).
As to having an extra 24 hours to prevent "morning wake-ups" - this would only be the case if you sleep more than 24 hours at a time.

so you only wake up once every 48 hours? imo 24 hours is more then enough cause otherwise I want a 1 month que cause I sometimes almost forget that my 30 day skill is ending and I'm missing training time cause of that

I forgot when my Cruiser 5 ended and lost about 6 hours.
Anyway, on the topic of the OP, 24 hours is plenty. It lets you log in when you want during the day, check your skills, or - what I normally do - just leave EVE HQ running and check it occasionally to see when the skill is going to end if I don't feel like logging in. --Vel

I've never had to wake up early to put in an EVE skill, ever. So you must be doing something really wrong. As soon as you see your current skill queue < 24h, you quickly add a next skill to tide you over for the night. Or you do the old switcheroo. Like if your current skill still takes 23 hours, and you want to train, say, Fuel Conservation afterwards, you put FC 1, 2, and 3 first (about 6 hours or so, iirc) and move your current skill to the end of the line. That way your queue will be good for more than another day again.
So, not supported.

You made a slight typo in your proposal. You typed "48", when you clearly meant to type "why do I have to train my skills on CCP's schedule anyways? It should be unlimited!" I've said for years now. I want to be able to create an alt, sub him for a year, leave him in a hangar full of books, and come back to a titan alt. Skills are too fundamental for us to have to **** around with them. Supporting this.
That said, it's not going to happen. Adapt. Put a long skill into the queue - if your current skill runs longer than a day, switch what skill you train.

Like I said, this is mainly for people who do not have access to their machine everyday, hence they end up losing days if not weeks during the year of training time simply because they have no access.
Maybe the ability to access your training queue via Eve Gate could be a possibility?
This way you could leave the 24 hours time frame alone as you could access your training queue when ever and where ever you are.
After all are giving us the ability to access Eve mail and and edit our bio with Eve gate as well as the ability to see our character profiles and skills.
Not too sure where the comments about having to wake up came from but hey :)
Once again thanks for the replies :)

People managed to train without daily access to their PCs for years before the Skill Queue existed. I used to work away from my home PC 5 days from 7 and I just made sure I was training something that lasted for the time I was away.
People have been proposing extensions to the training queue since it appeared, provoking reactions like "give them a finger..." above. 24 hour skill queue is perfectly sufficient, especially as you can tweak the skill queue to last longer by adding short skills to the front of it while a longer skill is training.
Tl;dr - No support. Unnecessary change.
