I for one would love to see jumpclones tweaked somehow, for totally selfish reasons.
I use JCs to swap implant sets. I don't at least currently use JCs to travel. If the teleporting part is the bigger evil in the big picture, don't change that, or even nerf it to 48hrs or more. But I would love to see a "local implant swap"- type JC being available more frequently, even only twice a day. Just limit it to constellation or whatever. It would make at least me able to enjoy the different aspects of this game much more with a single character... Even though I do have a 2nd account too but I'd like to do all the "meaningful" things I do with my main.

How meaningful would it be if you don't actually fly with your main between the points of interest? 
Uh, maybe I'm not getting something here... But I said that for me the places I go to with JCs are irrelevant, it's the different implant loadouts I'm interested in. learning set/ repper boost for PVE, snakes or something else for PVP...
My current EVE life is such that I mission and trade during the day to fund my FW in the evenings. If I could swap implant clones in the morning and in the evening, I could maximize my potential in both roles, now I have to choose one or the other.
To the ones that think this is as it should be, isn't this again encouraging alts? I could start a char on a different account or buy a ready-trained char to my existing account to maximize the different occupations better, but like I said I'd love to do it with my main...

Again, how meaningful would any kind of situation feel for you if you have the 'replicator' on board, press one button and you're ready to deal with any type of situation. Sounds awfully trekkie to me, deal with the hand you have or get out till next shuffle is up.
This isn't some horrid fantasy MMO where the tank stands around outside a room dressing into his frost gear full plate, putting his other 15 full plates in the pouch.
LMFBO, a "tough" get-back-to-w0w response? You do realize that internet spaceships is not *really* more serious business than flirty night elves dancing like Travolta dreaming of geese? They are both frakkin computer games. Sheesh.
We play this fine specimen for our enjoyment. If I feel that I'd enjoy my gaming more if I could swap implants more conveniently *instead* of the even-more-metagamey way of using an alt, is it wrong to ask for a change?
And no, I don't play that "horrid fantasy MMO" and my stuff stays with me. Thanks.

I don't swap clones to be risk averse, quite the contrary... Some of my combat clones cost more than my learning/ PVE one. Part of the rush of EVE PVP is the fear of losing my implants and in some cases, my ship.
I also don't want to have to specialize on one char even more than I already have to due to the nature of the skill system. JC's at least allow me to optimize different tactics with the ships I can fly, while maintaining some speed in skilling. But currently this only applies if I play very casually, I.e. less than 3-4 times a week.
I don't see why being able to swap between implant sets more frequently would be a bad thing. You're still stuck with the implants you do plug in, it's not the same as being able to remove them.

I know this topic has been beaten to death, even within this thread, but for people who usually play the same time each day (whether they are casual or hardcore), I think the 24 hour limit should be changed. In effect it is a 48 hour wait. I would simply make it once per downtime or, better yet, an 18 hour limit. I would not make it skill based, I just don't think that adds anything to the game.
I could live with that.
