When Patch Tuesday comes along, they say to set a long training skill. How long is long for you? Do you set a skill that will expire when the patch is scheduled to be completed, several hours after, or days?
My current skill runs through Wednesday, so I think I might be safe.

Cruiser/Battleship Lv5. I always save those puppies for patch day. Nothing like a 25 day skill as insurance.

People get a bit hysterical about it tbh. Server instability doesn't last for weeks. I set a 4-day skill yesterday.

I have 6 days left on the skill I was already training, no need for me to set something special for patch day.
Downtime could well last into Wednesday, so I'd advise setting a skill of at least 3 days.

I dunno. I remember when CCP nerfed boot.ini. I also remember a few months before that the server just randomly being down for a week because someone hacked the game database so CCP pulled the plug 'till they fixed it.
Anyway.. my alt still has another 25 days to go on Gallente Freighter V. I'm training Small Hybrid Turret V on my main - I doubt the pandemonium will last 'till Friday. This time. ---

Advanced Weapon Upgrades 5 is running (about time too), 11 days to go as of today, so should be ok until the patch mayhem passes. (If it even occurs)

IF you don't pick something that lasts long enough to get through a week of instability... please don't whine in the patch thread that you don't have a skill training. CCP said set a long skill. Those of us that have been around for a while usually set a LONG skill to train... My accounts have Jump Drive Cal 5, Capital Ship Construction 5, Guided Missile Precision 5, Logic 5, Refining Eff 5 and AWU 5 set as their skills for this patch (Oh I mean release).
As you can see, I'll leave some long skills training. Now, if I can log in earlier I'll switch back to reasonable skills. But if not, I'm happy with my current skills as they are all ones that will help the various characters that are training.
I hope that help you consider what a long skill might be. Remember - no whining if your skill expires prior to your ability to log in due to issues related to this patch.

I've got the 19 day Caldari Industrial V going, primarly because I'm (supposed) to be having my kitchen done (they were supposed to start last week... no show, better luck this week) and may not get access to EVE for a while and that's the longest skill I've got (I'm only four months old okay!!) ._.. ._ .._ __. .... .. _. __. __ ._ _.

Rule of thumb is that it should be atleast a few days after the patch to cover any possible server stability issues that might prevent you from logging on to change the skill. Remember CCP isnt responsable for lost training time so air on the side of caution and set a still that is atleast 4-5 days. If you decide to let it continue until it completes is a choice you have to make afterwords. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

All those people who waited until the last minute so that Carrier V would last as long as possible are feeling real smart right now c/d?

Missile Projection V (11 days left) on one character, and on the other (who is currently training Small Railgun Spec IV) it will be time to make a start on Minmatar BS V. The latter will be a character who can fly any combat ship from two races, bar Black Ops.

My current long skill (Signal Acquisition V) has just a few hours left on it, so I need a new one. Hmm, Astrometric Triangulation V... yes, that'll do. Nothing like a good probing I always say. |
