At any time, if you are podded, you will wake up in Jita, at which point you will have an active clone and an inactive jump clone, both in Jita.

== Clone Vat Bay Specifics ==

===Basic details===

The Clone Vat Bay is a high-slot module which can only be fitted to the Rorqual Capital Industrial Ship or Titan class vessels. The skill Cloning Facility Operation to at least level I is required for operation.

The Rorqual only permits a maximum of 6 jump clones. Titan class vessels can take up to 75 clones. Both of these limits are affected by the Clone Facility Operation skill (+15% to clone bay size per level, or 1.15x multiplier to effective bay size). Thus the Rorqual takes 6 clones with CFO V; 5 clones with CFO IV; 4 clones with CFO III; 3 clones with CFO II and I. The Titans will accept 75 clones with CFO V; 65 clones with CFO IV; 56 with CFO III; 49 with CFO II; and 42 with CFO I. Clones are stored in an invisible part of the ship and are not destroyed if the Clone Vat Bay is unfitted, however if the host vessel is destroyed then the clones installed are lost.

===Using a Clone Vat Bay===

Let's assume a Titan pilot in an Avatar and another pilot who is currently in a Scythe Fleet Issue cruiser. First, the Titan pilot must fit the Clone Vat Bay and have it online, and he must have sufficient Liquid Ozone in the fuel bay, since the CVB uses 1 unit of Liquid Ozone per activation. Next, he must activate the clone bay, which, given the fact that it immobilizes the Titan and has a 5 minute cycle time, requires the usual safety precautions. (Tethering is not broken when activating a Clone Vat Bay.)

Next, the Scythe Fleet Issue pilot must be on grid with the Titan, and under 5000m in distance from the Titan itself. The Titan pilot select the SFI pilot via the right click menu and chooses "Offer Clone Installation". This sends a prompt to the SFI pilot to accept the offer, which transfers 900,000ISK from the SFI pilot to the Titan pilot, which installs a clean clone. The SFI pilot is then free to warp off or go about his normal business.

When the SFI pilot wishes to jump clone to the Titan, the Titan must first have the clone bay active. The SFI pilot then navigates to the Character Sheet and finds the jump clone stored in the Titan, and clicks the Jump button. This subtracts 900,000 ISK from the SFI pilot's wallet as a charge paid to the TransStellar Shipping for the act of jump cloning to a facility that is not a player Citadel type structure. The SFI pilot then spawns in an empty capsule about 5000m from the Titan itself.

Clone Vat Bays are rarely used in the current metagame, although they can offer a specific advantage or utility in extremely specific circumstances.
