==Tips and Practical Applications with Jump Clones==

Some clever things can be done ~~when~~ combining the specialization that implants ~~allows~~ on each clone ~~and~~ the ability to change between ~~these clones - and~~ potentially teleport across many systems or ~~constellations - that~~ jump clones enable. ~~To be more precise, various~~ jump clones with different sets of implants to fit different situations and amounts of risk involved can be swapped ~~between~~ depending on what ~~you want~~ to do ~~that day. A lot of the high end implants are pretty expensive, it isn't unusual to see someone with implants vastly more expensive than their ship~~. For example, a training clone ~~would have~~ very expensive attribute enhancers, ~~and almost never undock~~. ~~As such, training skills during offline hours would be best suited to~~ this clone~~. A~~ low-~~sec~~ PvP-dedicated clone ~~should have~~ skill hardwirings that enhance their PvP efficacy, and ~~should furthermore be installed~~ in a ~~station~~ in ~~- or bordering - low-sec regions~~.

Some clever things can be done by combining the specialization that implants allow on each clone with the ability to change between clones—and potentially teleport across many systems or constellations—that jump clones enable.

Different jump clones with different sets of implants to fit different situations and amounts of risk involved can be swapped depending on what a pilot wishes to do. For example, a player could maintain:

* A training clone with very expensive attribute enhancers, stored in high-[[System security|security]] space. They could jump into this clone for low-risk activities in hisec, and for times when they might be logged off for days or weeks and doing nothing else with the character

* A PvP-dedicated clone with expensive skill hardwirings that enhance their PvP efficacy (such as a set of Snake implants for a speed boost), stored in or near low-security space. They could jump into this clone for PvP in losec, where ship destruction is likely but the loss of a pod, and therefore a clone, is less likely due to the lack of bubbles.

* An expendable clone with cheap attribute enhancers, stored in null-security space. The loss of a pod is more likely in nullsec due to the potential use of bubbles, and an expendable clone manages this risk. Having a clone stored in nullsec also lets the player avoid travelling through risky bottleneck systems where Empire space meets nullsec, which are more likely to be camped.

This is only one possible distribution of clones and implants, but it illustrates some of the utility of different combinations of clone placement and implant sets. Pilots with different career paths can consider which implant and clone arrangements might suit them best.
