make the skill like an x8 (time to train BS to V)

Why?

In more words...
Why buff safe instantaneous travel?
If this change is supposed to help with implants, allow clone switching in stations.
I hope you give this some more thought :S

The goal here is to avoid situations where jump clone delay pushes jump clone use back a bit each play session until eventually people wind up stranded in the wrong clone during their few hours of play time. We don't want to accelerate the rate that you can jump significantly, we just want to make sure that switching once a day is actually possible.

Any chance of a skill to create more jump clones? Advanced infomorph psychology perhaps?

6 clones is just not enough any more after the crystals/snakes/slaves a set of really spendy implants I was given for an alliance tourney team a few years back and a set of +5's for those times when I know I'm going to be away from the game for a few days. That leaves me with 1 "cheap clone" I can use for general pew pew, I would love to be able to put a few clones and ships in various npc null'ss and be able to go pew in other locations for a weekend or whatever without having to setup cyno chains and spend a couple hundred mill on jump fuel b4 I even get there.

Also having more then 1 clone per station would be awesome while your at it.

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?

Hi Hi

I'm not even in the office today (Icelandic holidays happen approx every other day) but I'm really excited to let you guys know about this, so here you go:

For Odyssey 1.1 we are adding a skill - Informorph Synchronizing - which will lower the time between jumping clones by one hour per level.

The goal here is to avoid situations where jump clone delay pushes jump clone use back a bit each play session until eventually people wind up stranded in the wrong clone during their few hours of play time. We don't want to accelerate the rate that you can jump significantly, we just want to make sure that switching once a day is actually possible.

Maybe I should mention that while there may be plenty of feedback related to jump clones as a whole, this change is simply something very easy to do which will have a very positive affect on player experience. Feedback on large scale plans or changes to jump clones, or clones generally, while totally valid, won't have an effect on 1.1. So, if possible, please focus feedback on this skill specifically.

He was supposed to bring solo back..he said things would be different..

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
