Hey, I am at the office working so don't go trying to use the holiday as an excuse to not be here.

I like the idea, but i don't see the point. 5 hours is a little weak.

hell no..... why punish players through a very high skill time just to be able to take advantage of an existig feature?
multiplier should be 3-4 so a player who needs it can skill it without beeing robed a ton of skilltime.
but players who dont realy need it wont end up skilling it.

we all (inlueding CCP) profit if eve is played more so don't make it harder to play more

What are the prereqs going to be on this skill?

I will say that this seems very balanced. it's certainly better than the time creep that was there before... I rememeber plenty of times when I had to do "nothing" because I was on cooldown from the day before while being in an expensive combat clone (that would be very bad idea to bring on the specific situration)

I will say that jump clones main function for most people is implant switching, and I hope that the next iteration of jump clones would involve some "smarter" way of switching implants... such as being able to switch clones at a much faster rate if the clone is in your current station (honestly all other locations shouldn't be changed in duration, but I am okay with this 19h delay)

:D and as a disclaimer, I would say that the current cooldown when switching implants (and not considering jumpclones as a means of travel) can cause alot of "risk aversion" this both counts of combat clones and "skill training" clones making the delay much much smaller on changing implants if it's in current station would allow more people to get into action when they might have chosen otherwise because they were on a cooldown or the cooldown would fit badly on their planned adventures for the next day... speaking out of own experience here, where I used to fly a lot with full snake clone, forcing me to stay mainly in my "snake clone ship" :3 as I never knew when I would need it next (I used it almost daily) but it also meant I couldn't really switch out of it to jump into a ships like dictors other stuff that might die... as it would be stupid) just my two cent, ofc it's all a "choice" :D

One way or another, this really shouldn't be a skill. Just alter the jump clone timers. If it's really supposed to be a fun-enabler, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to force players to spend a week (or more) training for it. I'd go ahead and just knock four hours off the timer and allow people to swap clones within a station either with no cooldown or a very short one.

You could have just reduced the timer to 23 hours and solved the same problem. That said, 1h/level is about right. Definitely don't make it any more than that since it would make it far too easy to jump around GÇö 2h would make it awfully close to a twice-a-day thing and that's too much.

Lame, to small to matter. I don't care much about using clones for fast travel but I would like the ability to change out the implants in my head more easily.

Why should there be a skill that improves quality-of-life? The base timer should just be lessened or make a skill like that have some actual game application.

In your opinion.
