Only read some of the posts....
I like and dislike the fact of getting rid of the clone grades myself.
Like: 1.) It might assist in helping to curb or start getting rid of the carebear mentality that infects a lot of nerwer players becaue they are afraid to die....afraid to lose thier ship and then afraid to lose their clone from podding if they have not figured out the means of a good income yet to sustain losing a lot of pods.
2.) so that means possible new "combat" pvp attractiveness
3.) Less hassle in making sure a fleet your running that everyone is set to include their clone updates.
Dislike: I only have 1, and that is the eventual removal of one of the ways to hurt a competitior or enemy target. If you can not gank or Dec someone with the express intention of forcing them to stay docked up because of 'reasons' they can not afford clone upgrades then we are left with only the viable option to grind in a state of combat through the means of attrition in ships only.
Now as to a comment or two I read about standings......
I believe they should not be removed, someone grinded those standings for a reason, whether thats a Corp/alliance that has grinded every standing for Jump Clone ability in every med facilitated NPC Corp avaible, or did so to ensure better tax rates at the corps found in Trade Hubs, or tax rates for other services or refining of materials where they live, or to ability to use Datacore research agents, or even Mission access availibility. Or simply to Roleplay.
Standings are a measuring tool for both public and personal reasons and they should not be removed. For example i read another post once about someone mentioning he/she grinded Blood Raiders more for a RP perspective as a pirate and should not have to worry about standings degrading because that limit his/her ability to travel very far from home(the pirate missions) for any length of time.
Security Status also.....some people pride themselves on being -10 and others pride themsleves as +5....or like a friend the other day seen someone with a +5.6 and was wondering how to get that....i mentioned COSMOS missions and so that friend playing almost a year now has decided to read up on them and see what else EvE can offer them.
In closing...I would like to say not losing SP upon podding would in fact be nice during a hard or long wardec in the place someone lives.....because you already have all your replacement ships there and gear, your med clone is there as well....you have a much higher chance of inflicting some sort of dmg or at least getting right back into the fight than the guy that has to travel to get to you. and if you pod someone in that instance....well that means he/she has to reship AND travel all the way back from their med clone position to get back in the fight.
