Jump clones: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Jump clones''' are a technology used by capsuleers (i.e., players in EVE) which allow them to transfer their consciousness between different bodies. Your [[clone|medical clone]] is different than your jump clones so don't think of them as the same thing. Medical clones are essentially your new body that you wake up in with the location determined by what you have set as your current Home Station, should your capsule get destroyed (usually only by other players via PvP/gank, or NPCs known as Circadian Seekers and Drifters if you aggress them and lose/don't get away).

Jump clones require specific skills and can cost ISK to set up and use, but can be used at will ~~(with a cooldown period between uses~~, ~~unless within~~ a ~~single~~ [[Upwell structures|Upwell ~~structure~~]]).

Jump clones require specific skills and can cost ISK to set up and use but can be used at will, but usage does invoke a cool down. [[Upwell structures|Upwell structures]], however, are unique in that they do not invoke a cool down period and allow changing clones while inside the same structure, and generally do not cost ISK.

A good way to think about jump clones is to imagine that you have a number of bodies available to you (which may be in widely scattered corners of the galaxy), but only one of these bodies currently holds your consciousness; the other bodies, without a consciousness, are inert. You can transfer your consciousness from your current body to another body, thereby taking control of your new body and rendering your old one inert. You will still have your experience intact, but any physical possessions won't travel with you (they stay with your old body).
