Jump clones: Difference between revisions

* A new member of EVE University has taken advantage of the University's [[The +3 Implants Program|implants program]] and installed a set of +3 learning implants to speed up his skill training. He wants to poke his toes into low-sec but is worried about being ganked and losing his implants. He creates a jump clone without any implants and switches to it before heading into low-sec, thereby safeguarding his implants. He can then switch back and forth between his clone with implants (to speed up his skill training) and his clean clone (for venturing into lowsec) depending on what he wants to do that day in EVE.

* An experienced pilot wants to specialise in running [[Incursions]] but still enjoys some frigate PvP to relax. She creates a jump clone and fits it out with high-level (and expensive!) implants to maximise the performance of her incursion-running battleship (e.g. implants to boost the amount of armor on her ship and the damage of her large laser turrets), but switches to a clone without any implants when she just wants to jump into her frigate and shoot at anything that moves.

* An industrialist runs an extensive manufacturing operation in a quiet, out-of-the-way system. They hate hauling, so to sell their final product they ship their items via [[Contract#Courier_Contract|courier contract]] to a [[~~Trade hubs|~~trade hub]]. They then create a jump clone at the trade hub, and use it periodically to get to the trade hub to sell their products faster than they could fly there in a ship).

Line 87:

Clones are stored in an invisible part of the ship and are not destroyed if the Clone Vat Bay is unfitted, but if the host vessel is destroyed then the clones installed are lost. Clones are visible to the host vessel with the "Configure Clone Facility" option in the capacitor doughnut, which lists the pilots with clones installed, the available clone space remaining, and the option to invite or destroy a clone from another pilot. Only one clone can be installed per host vessel per pilot.

Clone Vat Bays are rarely used in the current metagame, although they can offer a specific advantage or utility in some niche circumstances. Titan Bridges and Ansiblex Jump ~~Gate~~ networks are more effective means of rapid long-distance transport and allow pilots to bring their ships with them.
