In EVE, the word "'''clone'''" can refer to two distinct mechanics:
A character's '''Home Station''' is EVE's "respawn" mechanic. Wherever your Home Station is, there is a clone kept ready to be activated when your current clone dies (that is, when your capsule is blown up). For historical reasons, players sometimes refer to this mechanic as the '''medical clone'''.
# A character's '''Home Station''': wherever your Home Station is, there is a clone kept ready to be activated when your current clone dies (that is, when you are podded). This is EVE's "respawn" mechanic. For historical reasons, players sometimes refer to this mechanic as your '''medical clone'''.
# '''Jump clones''': these are clones which a character can "jump" between in order to travel quickly from place to place and/or switch between different sets of [[implants]].
The two mechanics are not directly related, but since both involve clones and they can be confused with each other, this page covers both.


==Home Station ("Medical Clone")==
== Respawning ==


Every character has a designated Home Station. When your capsule is destroyed (when you are "podded") your character will wake up immediately in a new body in their Home Station. Any implants that were in your head when your capsule was destroyed will be lost; your new body's head will be empty. You can also redeem items (e.g. from daily login campaigns) directly to your Home Station, even when you're in space.

By default, a character's Home Station will be the space academy station in the starter system where the character began life. Most pilots find it useful to designate a station or structure in whatever system they make their real home as their Home Station, so that they can respawn conveniently where their assets are stored.

* Prior to the Rhea expansion (December 2014), different grades of medical clone were available for purchase, each capable of storing a different total number of skill points, and failing to properly upgrade your medical clone led to risking the loss of skill points on death. Rhea greatly simplified this system, removing clone grades and the risk of skillpoint loss.
