maybe to limit to the alpha skills or just to a maximum of 2,5 mil sp?

Remove the hard-core, remains the boring.

autopilot uses your own speed and alignment time. the only difference between autopilot and manual piloting is warping at 15km instead of 0.

This Devs have no idea how much of gameplay and game experience they will take out of this game by making this skillsystem like online-shopping.

Ohā¦ So in effect there already is a way to train that slow boating time down to some kind of minimum?
Hadnāt realized. I will admit am new and there is a lot of detail and nuance to the mechanics. Just had the thought when i read the headline about updates to the skill system- wouldnāt it be neat if there was an Autopilot skill that could shorten this slow crawl to each gate after warping across a system.
Iāll look into this moreā¦
Thanks!

Bit by bit that game is being destroyed. Skill book chasing is a kind of a puzzle. It takes you to different parts of the mapā¦ sometimes the cheapest copy the book you need is in low sec which I found a very scary place to go to as a new player. All these little puzzles helped getting to know the game and all the different places you could go to.
But now another puzzle will be removed and what people qualify here as a quality of life improvement is a simplification which helps nobody to have āmore funā in the game. They better should just give new characters all the core skills and get it over with.

CCP, while you are revamping the skill sheet ā¦
ā¦ please give us the option to remove unwanted skills.
(Read: skills that are at level zero with zero SP trained should be able to be removed for good, so they would have to be re-injected if you wanted to train them again later).
No refunds. Neither ISK not skill books. Just a tidy skill sheet for those of us with OCD. Thank you good sir.

Ok, instead of traveling 6 jumps to Jita to buy a skill book and back 6 jumps, I can just buy it from the character sheet, and get back to running L1ās while training to get better weapons (from a newb standpoint)
So yea its not gonna take gameplay out, instead of traveling 12 jumps to get something, they can continue doing what they were doing, like mining or running L1 missions etc.

That is literally game-play. Travelling to get something.
Has been part of the game-play for everyone since forever.

Whatās really weird is how the goons are brigading this thread, yet they - according to other goons - actually donāt benefit from this at all.
Yet here they are, trying making it look like everyone loves this.

Gotta unite under the GSM banner
I think he just means that it doesnāt kill travel in the long run as an important aspect of the game, it just allows newer players to focus on getting through the starter phase with a little more focus on establishing lvl 1 of the core skills.
All new players will still have to get used to long tracks across dozens of systems soon enough. They just get the satisfaction of "achieving " some core skills with a little less travel, which can be a bit confusing and overwhelming in the first few days.
TL; DR version for all:
Guys are overreacting over a little change in skills. āThis is the end of Eve Onlineā, someone scream and everybody blame to the koreans.

Good change imo. Hate running around finding the more focused books
Yeah, itās so weird that a bunch of players from a group whose cultural roots are āshiptoasting on internet forums about crap that nobody really cares about but people are gonna whine anyway because they canāt accept changeā would, you know, be posting on an internet forum about crap that nobody really cares about but youāre gonna whine anyway because you canāt accept change.
Shocking. In other news: Air still less dense than rocks, water wet, fire burns, and the interwebz remain a series of tubes.

Nothing anyone says changes the fact that this is a feature for the instant-gratification crowd, just like all the tiny features people believed are fine and needed and will help raising retention ā¦ and failed horribly.
Anyone seriously believing that this is going to help anything is mistaken. What it definitely does, though, is driving away more mature players who are disgusted by yet another pussification feature of the game, as small and tiny as it may look.
In the end, what it does, is keeping people from travelling around and potentially interacting with others. You know, something that is a part of the game, but apparently thatās too hard now. Too complicated. Too overwhelming. Yet, dozens of tens of thousands managed.
All they need to do is clicking a button.
Press button, receive bacon.
What a great game.
A degenerated game for degenerated people.
