i dont see how people are complaining  not only do you train while you offline you want to make it so you dont ahve to log in at all for months
if you dont want you skills to finish while your unable to get online then put on a longer skill before you go to sleep or work SIMPLE. and if you really really really need to have your skill finish before ou come back online then leave it on and come back. you goin to at most lose a few hours which is nothing.
if skill queueing game in right now, i could put on 2 skills and not need to log on for 50 odd days
That's real nice for you man. I guess when one has got tens of missions of SP, one can be a little more sanguine about losing a few points, After all, you've got everything you really need.
But who's asking for "make it so you dont ahve to log in at all for months"? All I'd want is that if you're training some skill, it carries on to the next level of the same skill. That's adding a maximum of 25% to the time you can train offline.
Please tell me how to plan around unplanned server downtimes. Several posters here seem to think it's pretty easy, so I'm clearly missing some obvious technique.
well generally i think peple who have low sp also dont have much to lose. because thats the thing, we were all noobs once and had to go through that period where we lost sp because of unspecting downtimes and what not. so as it is now, we are generally level imo anyways.
and this is about me now but when iwas new to the game, tbh i didnt really care about missing skill time changes and what not at the end of the day there is always somone better then you sp wise (unless your camus ^^) and there isnt anything you can change about it. but also because of how the game works there is no way somone can out SP you a perticular area.
for example i myself have pretty decent gunneryskills. i would say taht many many many other pvpers out there who have played longer then me have less to/equal to and at most only slightly better skills then me.
at which point its not all about sp but about how you fit your ships (yes yes how big your wallet helps aswell) and tactics.
now imo IF skill queueing came in then everyone will jsut skill as normal except you had a backup to trian incase of the unsupecting downtimes BUT i would be pretty sure taht people will ask for a 3rd skill to queue because i am sure that people out tehre will forget about how long their 2 skills last or if one of those "eve is offline for a day and then attempts to get back online but lags to hell for therest of the week" event where both their skills finished and they still couldnt get online and then jsut carry one whining and bashing at ccp to get a longer skill queue.
at the end of the day imho i would jsut leave it as it is. everyone who has played eve is sure to have lsot some time to sp and its all just about thinking ahead to how long you can plan a skill. and tbh those sudden unexpected downtimes dont ahppen too often and when one does you kina will notice the performance on eve to drop for you to kinda think... hmmm eve may go down might cahgne a skill jsut incase
