This is on my todo-list for raising for next weeks meeting. I will let you guys know once I submit the issue to the CSM for the rest to read.

Psychological training that further strengthens the pilot's mental tenacity to withstand the rigors of jump cloning. The rigors of having one's consciousness detached from one's physical form more often, scattered across the galaxy and then placed in a vat-grown clone, can be very unsettling to the untrained mind.

Reduces standard 24 hour jump clone turnaround time 10% per level

The request from the community is to make jump-clones more useful. A major barrier to entry for using the jump-clones are the 24 hour timer, which is extremely annoying.
The suggestion is for a skill which decreases the jump timer by 10%. This is of course something that is subject to change. But the 10% will get it close to 12 hours, which is a nice timer. But of course we could look into something that got it closer to 24 hours, but without being an annoying ôonce a dayö thing, which is a problem right now

AreaEffect
GameplayIt allows for people to reach into more aspects of the game. One could do PvP in the evening and missions during the day without being penalized.


Potential Solution

Pros
òLess traveling
òJump clones become more useful
òà which results in more people being able to experience more parts of the game, putting more fun into the game

Cons
òLess traveling
òCould be used for hyper-mobility by 0.0 alliances.



CSM Recommendation/Request to CCP
òPlease implement some sort of skill which can decrease the jump-clone timer. We think that a timer between 12 and 20 hours is pretty acceptable.

The exact values do need a bit of discussion, but I wholeheartedly support this. Clone-jumping once every twenty-four hours can be awfully restrictive, and a means of reducing that would make a number of people happy.

I do prefer "Reduces jump clone turnaround time by 10% per level" over "two hours per level" just because almost everything else in Eve is based on percentages, so it looks and feels a bit more internally consistent.

Numbers (based on 10% per level):

AIP 0: 24 hours
AIP 1: 21 hours, 36 minutes
AIP 2: 19 hours, 12 minutes
AIP 3: 16 hours, 48 minutes
AIP 4: 14 hours, 24 minutes
AIP 5: 12 hours even

The first couple levels don't get you much of anything (a couple hours), but AIP3 is close to "jump into an implant clone before you go to bed, sleep, go to work the next day, get home from work, jump back into a combat clone, kill stuff, repeat." AIP 4 and AIP 5 make that quite feasible.

This could lead to a bit of overall inflation of characters' skill points. My implant clone is full of relatively expensive bits, in a station far removed from any of my alliance's current combat operations, so jumping into that clone effectively removes me from combat for the next 24 hours. If it were easier to do so (without the implicit penalty of "you can't play Eve tomorrow") I know I'd be jumping quite a bit more often once I had this proposed skill trained up to III or IV. A few hours with +3s and +4s would give me an extra few hundred skill points a day, which would add up over the next year or two.

I don't have a problem with that, but some folks might.
