I think that clone cost should be reduced by at least 50% to 75% in the new expansion. I know if that would happen I would start to pvp in smaller ships (frigs, des, crus) with my mains who are now 160+ and 120+ mil sp
In the meantime, CCP should develop new clone costs system in game.
something like this: (I already posted this before in some clone price thread)
Higher SP character have the advantage over the low SP characters in that that they can do more things in EVE and fly more Ships.
But the main point is> They can do only one thing at the time.
What does it mean? Well I can either fly frigate or carrier or whatever at one time. I can only do one thing in EVE. I cannot with my 150 mil SP char do 2 missions at one time. I cannot split him.
So advantage really depends on an occasion.
I think that the cloning system should be like this to be fair:
Clone SP TIED to a ship and modules fitted at the time pod exploded.
It would go i.e. like this:
- Jump into t1 frigate.
- Fit t1 frig.
- Undock.
!!!!! EVE calculates what skills are needed for this ship and for the modules I have.
!!!!! EVE calculates number of SP I have in skills needed to fly that ship and modules (not just needed level of skills but my lvl of skills, so if i fly galente frig and have skill at 5 my clone would have to cover more sp than if I would have skill at 4).
!!!!! EVE assigns above mentioned SP amount to the clone.
- If character gets his ship destroyed and than podded, the clone costs are not for total SP char has, but for amount that game calculated as explained above.
So if I get into t1 frigate with 150 mil SP and go fighting 30 day old char in t1 frig, I would still pay more than he is for a pod loss because although we both have necessary skills, I will have to pay more as I have my skill maxed. This is how it should be.
This also make sense for capital ships. SP needed is much higher. You enter super-capital, your clone will cost much more that when you are in t1 frig. But it make sense as you are USING those additional skills.
This also works with miners. Hulk pilot clone will cost much more than a future 30 days old mining frig pilot.
This makes sense imho.
This is only fair solution I could come to. Maybe it can be refined. I hope we will get something like this. |
