Jump clones: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

* Quickly travel to other parts of the EVE universe: You can have jump clones (with a few ships and modules) positioned in various parts of New Eden, allowing you to easily jump between these stations to participate in activities suitable for that location.

* Safeguard valuable implants when fighting other players (PvP): you can switch to a "clean clone" (i.e. a jump clone with no implants) when there is a high chance that you will be podded while engaging in PvP, to avoid losing expensive implants (which are destroyed when you are podded).

* Have jump clones specialized for certain tasks: As [[Implants#Skill_Hardwirings|skill hardwiring implants]] give very specific bonuses (e.g. the {{co|wheat|Zainou 'Deadeye' Large Hybrid Turret}} implant gives a bonus to damage for large hybrid turret weapons only) and cannot be removed without destroying them, it may be worth having jump clones with implant sets geared towards one ~~particular activity~~.

=== Examples ===

* A pilot is running high-level missions for two NPC corporations, which are located far away from each other (to, for instance, balance out his [[Faction Standings|faction standings]]). Instead of flying his slow battleship between the two mission hubs, he installs a jump clone (and stations a fully fit battleship) at each mission hub. He can then clone jump between the two locations easily to run missions for both corporations.

* A member of EVE University wants to both be a part of the [[NSC|Nullsec ~~campus~~]] and still participate in the occasional event at the University's headquarters in [[Aldrat]]. The trip between these two locations is long and dangerous, so she installs a jump clone in Aldrat, allowing her to clone jump from the nullsec campus to Aldrat quickly and easily.

* A member of EVE University wants to both be a part of the [[NSC|Nullsec Campus]] and still participate in the occasional event at the University's headquarters in [[Aldrat]]. The trip between these two locations is long and dangerous, so she installs a jump clone in Aldrat, allowing her to clone jump from the nullsec campus to Aldrat (and back) quickly and easily.

* 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 therefore 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 (eg 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. He hates hauling, so to sell his final product he ships his items via [[Contract#Courier_Contract|courier contract]] to a [[Trade Hubs|trade hub]]. He then creates a jump clone at the trade hub, and uses it to periodically jump to the trade hub to sell his products.
