Darenthul SUPERIOR RESOURCES 5	Posted - 2012.12.04 14:44:00 - [1] - Quote My mining alt finishes Astrogeology III today, 2 hours into my workday, but I can't start training Mining Barges until I get home (8 hours later), so I had to stuff him with Electronics IV training for 8 hours instead until I can get home. I'm pretty blessed that that's the biggest thing I hate about the game I suppose, that I can't inject skillbooks until the previous skills are trained (should just let us inject skillbooks but be unable to train them without requirements in the queue). Maybe I should just install EVE on my work computer..

You can't put a skill in queue without the previous requirement being completely finished. Mining Barges I requires Astrogeology III Therefor I can't queue Barges right after Astrogeology, I have to have it completely finished beforehand. Meaning if I have to do anything (sleep, work, go outside) for an extended period, there's a huge gap where my skill queue has to train "fluff".

Teamviwer makes the game too laggy to play properly, but good enough to change skills.

Sadly our work computers are all cruddy Dells.. I'd have to bring a netbook, and that's much harder to hide from wandering doctors =/
Jamie Banks Wasted and Still Mining Lunar Industries Partnership 21	Posted - 2012.12.04 15:22:00 - [15] - Quote Give a thought to all the vets of the game when the skill training Queue didn't exist.

I can understand that, but "back in my day we didn't 'x', so we shouldn't 'y'" isn't really a reason to avoid such topics ;) Having to wake up in the middle of the night to do stuff reminds me too much of alarm clock raids on other MMO's.. I'm glad I don't do those anymore.

Although I'm wondering how HIPAA compliant it is for me to run EVE on a work computer dedicated to medical records.. Depends on your organization's HIPAA controls more than HIPAA itself, per se (unless you're pushing PHI over the EVE client).

Larloch TheAncient Alpha Arms and Manufacturing What Alliance 12	Posted - 2012.12.04 18:17:00 - [18] - Quote Indeed, the obvious solution is to become the IT of your organization. Alternatively, A partner (Girlfriend/wife) sidekick to change your skills for you. Like others have stated team viewer is a valid tactic where solely changing skills is concerned. Depending on the Group policy of your computer/firewall settings a USB stick client could momentarily fix your problem. Although the "most beneficial" would be to convert your IT into eve players, it likely wouldn't be to hard.

Maybe I should just install EVE on my work computer.. You should have electronics V anyways... Its not necessary for a Miner alt. Especially one I need to hit the field with asap to pay off his first PLEX. (I have 51 days of play time on him, first 35 are +3 boosted from booster, and +3 implants).
Simetraz State War Academy Caldari State 471	Posted - 2012.12.04 18:31:00 - [22] - Quote You should have electronics V anyways. So my solution when I was starting up a new character again. Stack and rack all the small skills time together and put a long one on the end. That way you always have something to put in your Queue when you are sleeping or working or whatever. Training one skill at a time till its conclusion pretty much always leaves you in a 4am wake up to change a skill at some point or another. EVERYBODY KNOWS

The sucky part is that with Mining alts, you don't really have a choice there, all the skills are long and require a previous skill to obtain =/ The Great Hunt/Bountypocalypse 2012 - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=178683

That's nice, but that's not how it is now and its not an excuse for how it should be for the future. I'm just saying, it'd be very nice if we could inject skill books into the queue and they wouldn't train a single point until you have the requirements, then you could slot skills that you have the books for but not the requirements ahead of time.

Korinne The Partisan Brigade Republic Alliance 44	Posted - 2012.12.04 20:34:00 - [26] - Quote That's reasonable I guess, but what is to stop me then from starting a new character and injecting 200 skillbooks that take 10 mins to train?

Sorry for what I'm about to say but if you ever liked that or think it's something bringing whatever interest in a game you're either an idiot or a masochist. I'm the only one to think this was stupid at best?
