Perhaps with Aura popping up to give context-sensitive info would work (like the paperclip in MS Office), rather than just rattling through a list of stuff from the outset. In any case, the way the information is delivered could be more intelligent.<br /><br />I'm also a big fan of the idea of bastard hard missions.Mat Westhorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553980835026556794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-52152579139584859982012-02-24T06:48:24.747-08:002012-02-24T06:48:24.747-08:00The skill plan suggestions really are key.

It just adds another layer of involvement and understanding, not to mention having to dig through the certificates, and then copy out the skills referenced in the certs. And then write them down somewhere to train them.<br /><br />Just a easy reference guideline of skills would make such a huge difference. I like the idea of adding baseline fittings to the newbie corp saved fittings, I hadn't really thought about that integration, although it might provide encouragement to stay in the newbie corps to retain access to those fittings, or at least a reliance on those fittings.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment Chanina.Logan Fyreitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020193253139376508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-6372296281973049572012-02-24T02:15:29.613-08:002012-02-24T02:15:29.613-08:00Very nice suggestions.

Then you can show the new players how to get fittings from there and save them private.<br /><br />A proper skill plan is the alpha and omega to get the people in what ever they want to do. If they start training frig to V before they can fit a tank thats ridiculous. With the nice skill queue system you can line up the proper skills to have them ready next evening you come to play after a hard day of work and have plenty of shine stuff to play around with.<br /><br />To some degree that is done with the certification system but I'm not sure how much that is used.Chaninanoreply@blogger.com
