Everything looks great, except for: "No clone grades and no skill point loss on pod death"
Thanks CCP for fully removing the balls from EVE Online. Now it'll be like every other "infinite respawn" game without the signature consequence for negligence in upgrading your clones after death.
And yet again, the challenge factor drops ever lower.....

I suppose, in your world, losing your ship is at once less consequential and less costly than upgrading your clone?
Do you fly exclusively shuttles?
To be honest, I'll admit that that reaction and post was impulsive and not as thought out as usual for me. It is quite a trivial detail, even more so having never suffered the consequence of failing to upgrade my clones. Nonetheless, over all these years, I've come to realize and depend on all the minor trivial details because summed up they make the biggest difference to the mergence of lore and game mechanics into a unique blend that pretty much spells the soul of the entire EVE universe and concept.
Likewise, after more time to think about it, it really is such a trivial thing and it's removal take little away from the actual experience. That, and reducing the amount of "ragequits" due to negligence by subscribers therefore more money for CCP, and everybody's happy!
On another note.... Tech 3 Destroyers! Awesomeness!! Ever since I discovered the excellency of the Tengu-class cruiser, I've been dreaming of and desiring more T3. Whether more new subsystem/hull components or actual complete starships. And, killing 2 birds with one missile, we get a destroyer class out of the deal - a ship type I'd always considered lacking in variety and needing more T1 teirs or advanced variants (like a command destroyer to serve in similar capacity of a command ship battlecruiser but more applicable to the FW battlespace).
