This has probably been suggested but I can't be bothered to look.

The training system is excellent but it still gives an advantage to sad people who sit at their computers 24 hours a day, decaying in a pile of their own filth and pizza boxes.

A system where you can place what you want training in a queue, so that you automatically train the next one when the first is finished, would be helpful to us people with real lives.

Any whiners, flamers etc. will automatically be assigned the above description of worthlessness to society. Useful comments/criticisms please.

This was tried out during beta, they vowed it would not return, sorry. (A reason that I can remember included making it harder for ppl to sell accounts with auto trained chars on e-bay.) Also there should be some incentive to be logged on.

I think we should be happy we can train at all while not logged on, this makes EVE so much more casual-player friendly than xp farming online games.

BTW, if you make a point to train heavy skills, the difference is really marginal, if you're not away for 2 weeks or something.

Good luck not letting EVE rule your life :-D

Happy casual player

A fair comment. Sad to see Ebay spoiling things, as usual.

Indeed. How about allowing Users to change/start skill from the character info page... you need your account deatials to even view it so I don't see how there could be a security issue.

As for ppl selling accounts on ebay, I agree that it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the "hard working" player but is not against the EULA ASAIK. Either way CCP get's its cash.

It would, however, be nice to manage our skills thru a web interface.

I also am in favor of a training queue. The only caveat would be that only one skill should be queued up, so once that second skill goes, nothing is left in training. I'm glad to see someone else with this idea.

As for being able to switch training from the webpage, I also like that idea, either one would work for me. I'd be more inclined to like queuing up just ONE skill though, for the training times that end during downtime, when I sleep, or when I'm actually earning a living. The devs finally made "Warp to 0" part of EVE, I don't see why this can't be done. :)

well there really isnt a need for it. Just train a long skill for when you cant be there to change it and a short one when you are there.

Like battleship 5 (although any skill longer then 1 or 2 days works fine), 32 days with pretty good attributes, just change to that when you are sleeping or going away on holidays or something, and when you have time to change skills use the shorter one like torpedos 1.

They all become really long skills in the end anyway.

This comes up all the time and It always goes the same way.
We ALL want some means of changing and/or queuing skills so that we don't need to babysit.
responses are always:
1- YES PLEASE but with limits (more than one skill queued up makes it too easy for people to just AP a carrier pilot and sell him in 6 months)
2- Let me change it on the web (agreed- account details are needed for login, let me swap skills and read my eve-mail too while we're at it)
3- They all turn into long skills in the end (Right now, I have to look for skills that take less than 2 days to train without starting a whole new tree)
4- YES PLEASE but with limits.

I'm a fan of a one-skill queue and/or having the ability to swap skills from the web.
However- the advantage is not with people who stew in their own pizza boxes. It's with people who actively think of a useful plan for getting the skills to match their lifestyles. I moved and was without internet for 2 weeks. Bam- cruiser V. My job is sending me to India for 2 weeks- bam Battlecruisers V. I'm going on my honeymoon in 3 months. maybe cruise missiles V or Battleship V? Who knows. If you're careful about it- you can log in every week or three without any loss.

Evening,

I had a related idea to this, to offer a way to have another skill going for yourself, so you would not continue to train, but would have extra training going on. But not just a point and click, this idea takes some work.

Unfortunately, I forgot the first rule of posting information on the internet, more than 1 line without L337 Sp33k in it, and no-one bothers to read it all, so I warn you now you need to read the post to grasp what I'm hinting at.

But anyway, here's the link to it, have a look-see.

I think the reason why no one is discussing it is because as soon as they realise it is not adding a queue they don't care.

So setting an alarm clock / remembering when my skill will finish so I can log in for 1 minute and change it makes me a waste to society? ok...

ps. watching the skill doesn't make it train faster.

If you keep missing skills queueing 2 won't make any difference, you'll just miss the 2nd one as easily as the first. I don't like the idea as it means more people can "play afk" as it were, less people in the world is never good in an MMO.

Exactly. Makes us all look like loosers doesn't it.

Wrong.

That don't make any sense. If someone is paying for the game they are going to play it when they have the time.

If it's just farming you are worried about, then say so. Don't dress it up.

I don't see how you can just que up skills for a carrier pilot and then sell it if you can only put skills that you have started training in the que? but something like max of 5 skills would still be good.

2 skills would still let me get 4 or so short skills trained a day. set a short skill and then a few hour skill. I get home train short skills till ill be AFK again and set a short+long skill in the que
