I spoke to a pal about this, and tld him, I was gonna steal his suggestion for my own and post it here, so here comes my suggestion 
How about making a pirate booster pill that doubles the rate of gaining skill points?
This should of course only work in 0.0 and only take effect when undocked!

I think that eats at the core of skill training, people would get the pill and go hang out in 0.0 all day at the risk of dying just to train skills faster... Not a very good idea.

Could be a good time... Make sure it has drawbacks.
Maybe a 15% chance of brain damage? so there's some chance that after your 23 hours of ubertraining, you hemorrhage out your ears into your pod and your attributes are knocked down by a point or two.
So you can get the double skillpoints while undocked but you may end up losing a percent for a very long time. It's a decent idea.

How about a pill that instantly trains a skill, but for it to work, your head falls off so you have to buy a new one....

Big NO NO....that would only bicome a exployet way to fast...no one would ever train a lvl5 skill again if you could complete it with a booster and after all the higher level classes are determined by your level of skill which raises along with your age in the game.
Taking this one step further, i would hate the idear of BOB's 2-3 Titan pilotes to train Titan and Dooms Day device lvl 5 as that would make BoB even more undefetable...
And well that accounts for any other alliance that wore willing to pump there pilotes full of pills....
So would just be a curcomvention of one of the main facotrs of the game which is our real life consept of time.

With something like those pills i would fill my Helios up with them and sit cloaked at a ss all day long. (maybe even with a macro to take them)

Bad idea because it would make an xp grind just like other lame crappy MMOs. One of the nice things about eve is you dont have to be a hardcore fanatic spending 18 hours a day online to get ahead.
BTW theres no such thing in the boosters, all of them buff various combat stats at the expense of others.

Any idea which accelerates the rate at which already experienced pilots train, including implants, gets a big thumbs down from me. Broadens the SP gulf, etc.
Attribute boosters are already in there, just not implemented, along with psychological conditions like claustrophobia. God willing, we'll never see them.

Lets say such pill is 6 hours effect.
I wake up in the morning, give a pill to my character, set the skill training, get ouf of the station with a frigate with a cloaking device. Hooray, Those 6 hours while I was at work are like 12!
I come back from work, give another pill to my character, and then hooray, the 6 hours of the evening are 12 hours!
Before I go to bed, I give another pill, and hooray, my hours of sleep get me 12 hours again.
And that's just talking about people actually working or that are still student, while on holidays, you can set a 6 hours timer and learn all the time twice? And you can't even get shot because you were cloaked in a well made safe (as all safe spot should be!).
This way, it seems totally crap!
But, let's say "this booster destroys implants" and "gives +X to one attribute, only one of this booster can be used at time" (X between 1 and the biggest implant in game). This way, it's the (expensive I hope) 0.0 replacement for people that stopped using implants because they get pod-killed.

I don't know that I like the idea of boosters as a replacement for implants. We already have implants- why give them another name? But by the same token, I don't think there needs to be an "i win" button for SP. I DO think it could work if there was a potential permanent drawback- like loss of an attribute point.
This booster will give you a +5 perception for X days/hours/whatever. BUT there's a chance that when it falls off, your perception may permanently drop a point or even two. In the long term, a week of +5 will be countered out by a permanent drop of even one or two points. A drastic loss like that is the only thing I can see as a balance. Sure- you can get into a carrier in 2 months if you pop boosters all the time, but at the end, your guy may be functionally retarded and need 6 more weeks to train drones to V.
Maybe?
