I am a member of the US Army, I am active duty, thus my playtime is often limited even when my internet access is not. Im not sure if the idea has been addressed or not, but is there a possible way to adjust skills from a browser, without logging into the game?
It would be nice if there was, even if it was just for those who are away from the homefront and cant get into the game. I love the game and I pay 45 a month for a total of 3 accounts. I think it would be nice to be able to adjust my skills while Im gone rather than go 12+ months without any skills. If I have to stop paying and shut the accounts off I will if they cant be active.
But if this would be possible that would be great.
Note Im not talking only for me, but for anyone that is in a position where they cant access their PC for months at a time. Most major businesses offer a military / active duty discount. I don't care about the cost, I want to continue to progress while I am away!
Anyone else have anything to add, comments, concers, trolls?
God Bless,
Lenny

Last I heard CCP thinks that doing this is A Bad Thing, so I doubt it will ever happen.

While I was in the US Army I had one tour where i was still an active EVE player and I had to train my wife to skill for me. If you have a wife/husband, brother/sister, mom/dad etc that u can train in putting skills into ur skillplan then that would be ur best bet. Just have them put things in from the gunnery skill tree (or missiles) and if they run out of stuff for that then do spaceship command skills.
Otherwise, sorry for not helping. Good luck out there, I was in Mosul (with 4th ID) and had an 'easy' time my last tour, hope u do too.

British Royal navy here. And I can access web browsers onboard (sometimes) but not the server so a remote skill adjust would be epic win.

This is a problematic idea, and to be sure, it comes up a lot.
CCP really doesn't want to enable that kind of out of game skill switching, because if they did, their critics would start loudly pointing out that now you don't even need to log in to progress. Whilst I would see that as a good thing, as would you guys, you can see why the non=player public might take that as a sign of a bad game.
The thing is, being away from these kinds of amenities is partly what you are paid for, roughing it somewhat is part of your job. So I can't really justify implementing a reputation damaging feature on that basis, sorry.

Well considering EVE online is a game u dont have to be logged in much for, I dont think its too game breaking.
I always expected EVE Gate to implement this feature at some point. I wasnt Navy, so I didnt have to deal with being unable to communicate with satalites for periods of time, however I was at a black out fob for a while and dealt with this type of situation for a period of time while in the US Army.
As for what we 'get paid for' I prolly wouldnt open that can up. Not worth the bloodshed.

You don't seem to have the slightest clue what our job entails. That's a door I wouldn't recommend kicking open on the forums. Stick to the topic at hand, try to refrain from telling us what we do or do not get paid for.

So while these guys are out there dying so you can have your freedom, it's cool that they can't enjoy the same things you enjoy?
You are literally a ****ing ******.

CCP has stated that they would like to implement skill training from the web browser. So this need will likely be resolved at some point in the future.
In the meantime, find someone you trust to do it for you.

Ive got to support this idea as I'm about to have a similar issue, I would happily pay a little more for each of my three acts or even have the char's locked out of transfer for the ability to change skills from eve gate, to that end any kind of service offered through the web, chat, market, would only expand the game, as Eve is alot more than just the client.

My first positive experience with Goonswarm. Thank you Ender. I wanted to say soooo many things to her but you summed it up nicely!

I am not sure what CCP's point is in not providing this as a feature. It's too bad that they couldn't offer it even to military people around the world. The problem then becomes verifying who is and is not military and the overhead that comes with that.
When I first thought about this idea I thought it likely wouldn't happen for security reasons but that is kind of ruled out with the evegate allowing access to not only receive eve mail, but also send them. So if it's not a security issue I see no point in not allowing it. Personally I'd like to see this feature implemented as well as the ability to chat in various chat channels while at the evegate site.
However, I would much rather see the logging feature fixed first. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1513581

My freedom isn't secured by anyone in this thread, and yes, that is the case. Its part of the job. Soldiers sometimes have to go to war zones.

You, sir, are the most ignorant ingrate I've heard on the internet in a long time.
I don't think the OP is complaining about his job, nor is demanding extra 'internet' time be allowed for soldiers.
He is simply asking if, considering he has limited internet access, it might be a good addition to allow skill changes via browser...since I'm sure he doesn't take a gaming laptop around with him on active service.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a peace loving leftie but you need a healthy dose of realism...and humility might be nice.

I don't think that's the case, I think people simply have issues with the 'It's your job so do it...but I'd prefer if you're miserable as well' attitude that you have. Let me guess, you shout at the waitress if the food isn't right?

I don't know about you guys, but to me, this is a feature, not a problem.

Actually, I'm the person being shouted at. It gives one a good appreciation for when something is unreasonable, and when something is part of the job.

3 years deployed and missed skill training for about 2 years of that time due to friends RL issues. Since I am currently deployed and have two inactive queues, I would love this. Too bad it won't happen before return.
But crossing my fingers for a SOON...

I would like to see this implemented as logging in to change skills isnt exactly playing anyway, log in, skill, log off.
The fact that it is servicemen and women who probably suffer the hardest with this I think is an even bigger reason to implement skill changing from EveGate. It harms no one and helps people play Eve.
Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

if you were a paid killer for a more pleasant less aggresively violent country you would still be a hero / freedom ninja and you would not miss any training time

The thing is, YOU are what is wrong with society today. You say, "It's what you're paid for..." like he is an overpaid athlete complaining about not being able to play Eve while he is on the field. We get paid **** to protect ignorant folks like yourself. The military is not a place where making people miss out on their personal entertainment is supposed to be part of the job, it just sometimes comes out that way because of the crappy conditions.
However, I do feel like this feature would be problematic. If you don't actually have to log into the game to update your queue (as much as I hate what our Marines, sailors, and soldiers have to go through), it seems too easy for others to take advantage of it.

Doesn't let you change skills.
To the op: I believe evegate is supposed to have this functionality "eventually." No reason for it not to other than backlog/technical issues.

Leaving the unnecessary aspects of this discussion aside, this is something CCP has stated they are working on. A dev blog about this very topic was posted recently (which for me means I remember reading it, not necessarily that it was in the recent chronological past).
I wouldn't count on seeing it before you get back from your deployment, but it is a part of the grand design.
