Has anyone else rescheduled outside events because of arbitrary EVE training finishing times. i.e. reschedule a dinner date so that it works out that you will be online when XXXX skill finishes training.
I know skill queuing is contentions issue... The idea of players advancing without ever playing is wrong. The compromise I propose is skill queuing with a 24 hour cap... I.e. seting skill training queues but only for the next 24 hours.
This wouldn't affect how MUCH I play Eve, but it would allow me to play WHEN I wanted to, instead of disrupting my normal life to accomodate whatever time of the day happens to coincide with the end of a skill training regime.

The real problem comes when you are training a new alt and all of their skills are short trainers. Once you get past a certain stage though there will always be some useful long-trainer that you can set aside as your strategic no-time-waster. Of course there will always be situations where you have a skill set to finish at 6pm and you have to stay at work until 9...I guess I need a lap-top after all :(

When you have more SP, you have lots of skills to train to lvl4 or 5 and therefore don't need to log on that much. In the beginning, when its lots of skills to train to lvl1, 2 or 3, its a lot of work though, if you don't want to loose SP, yes.
Remember though that you can switch training without loosing SP. So if a skill would end at a time where you won't be there, start another skill before logging off and then continue with the skill you wanted to complete once it suits you better.

i constantly used to have to change to skills i would prefer not to have to train because of their longer training times due to rl. u have to have priorities but finally now that i have 4.5 million sp i can choose what i want and it usually takes days to finish so i just take note of that so i can be back online.
However i would love a skill auto trainer but a 1 day limit sounds good as if you could add 10 skills that could be six months training if all at level five and they could log and come back on six months later with 5 million sp more than before... doesnt sound good tbh 
Your Tachyon Modulated Energy Beam I perfectly strikes Sansha's Tyrant, wrecking for 1589.6 damage. Muhahahaha |

That, and remember what you have training lol, once lost 6 days of training on my 2nd acount cause I thought I had a really long one training when in truth I was working up a low lvl one.

I'm strategic, definitely. No time is wasted, and at the moment I've got a lot of long training skills within 6 hours of completion. That's too short for me to set over night, and too long for me to do while online. 6 hours seems to be the kinda stuck period, where I have to rearrange my life to accomodate.

yes and also get your drones to auto mine for you and auto haul and refine for you. Oh and have everyone get all the SP training time they might have skipped oh oh oh and make it uber fast to get 5 billion skillpoints...
noobcake not everyone has time to login to switch all the small skills thats why we plan properly and set long skills when we cant play and then short skills while we are playing. But no that would be too hard u need somebody to do everything for you and think for you. We were all born with brains well excluding FA members but anyways the point is think before u suggest something stupid.
