> [@Ramona\_McCandless](#): > > Its a real shame. I mean, i don’t ever remember actually losing a skill to a missed clone upgrade, so the system was mostly just a really tiny ISK cost between fights, not really a problem that its gone the way of the dodo ---

not such a tiny isk cost , once your skill points got up there … playing in null sec and paying 20-40 mill to upgrade your clone every time you got podded was a real drag . that’s 2006 isk btw , so figure inflation … 🙂 what i miss and should not have been removed was ‘ghost implants’ . when you got podded , your training time was not recalculated until your skill finished or you paused training . the war cry before going on a shady roam was ‘set a long skill training’ … ---
