It looks like CCP gave the skill points to the highest SP character on the account rather than to the one which was actively training.

For real? I have 2 accounts with 2 characters on each and all 4 got 50,000 sp but I have dual training active on both accounts..

Good to know my skills aren't totally irrelevant. As soon as I get my butt out of 2+ year vacation mode I'll look into it. Thanks!

EDIT: API updated and email sent to newbies@goonfleet.com to get myself out of vacation mode.

I had a probing alt training last tues, along with my 90m SP main, and that alt got the SP. I'd rather have it on my main, as that alt finished out :argh: :ccp:

Yeah. I have an account with a non-training 55 million sp guy and a training 10 million sp guy, and the 55 million guy got the points. I could put in a petition, but :effort:.

They've always just done the highest SP character gets bonus compensation SP.

I think the first time it happened they briefly asked the community which was best oldest character or highest SP, and with those options highest SP was the clear choice. It's always going to be something that could be done with a simple database lookup, and for whatever reason determining which character is actively training in a big batch job is not simple.

Definitely because you have dual training going. Nice that they accounted for that.

I really like having 50k sp just in my pocket for emergencies. Like when you realize that you never actually trained a gun spec, just injected it and moved on, but you are now sitting in a ship with those t2 weapons and need to move out.

I don't mind, I just find it silly that they're kind of inconsistent. edit: Honestly it's more useful on that alt, as my main only has long grinds to look forward to :shrug:.

Knock a day off a long skill and promptly forget they gave you 50k sp, because it's pretty inconsequential. 1 day of free sp... yay?

See, I wanted that SP on my alt because of remap reasons - I'm moving and it would have allowed me to inject a bunch of books before being unable to log in for a while. Now it's just going to sit on a character for whom 50k is, as you say, useless.

Hey now, it's tradition for people to cry when ccp gives away free poo poo and it isn't exactly what they want or how they want it. Eveo forums couldn't contain all that crying forever. It had to spill out if there and reddit eventually.

Agreed. Comically, Xenuria's articles have been some of the best there in the last couple months.

Feiryred's articles always read as if they've been edited by a drunk donkey, and i'm morally convinced Xenuria's articles are ghost written.

My personal favourites are FearlessLittleToaster's (I think?) Op-eds. While Xenuria's articles are good, I find his writing incredibly pretentious. Also, his most recent article fell a little flat for me.

I can 100% confirm that Xenuria writes his own stuff.... the real fun comes when you get to listen to him in Slack though :suicide:

The first stage is denial, Vyst. You're here now. You'd never join hole squad, you know that, everyone knows that.

The next stage is anger. It'll annoy you that hole squad is on your mind. It'll anger you that this is even a concern.

Bargaining comes next. You'll think "what if I did...." "what could go wrong" "how bad can it really be"...

Fourth, depression strikes. At this point, the decision is already made. You're going to join hole squad, you just can't face admitting it.

Finally? Well... Finally you're popping ex-renters in the north east while flying your ridiculously over-pimped <insert faction something here>, before returning to your wormhole and proclaiming small gang pvp is dead.

It's all over now, Vyst. It's over.

After much consideration my 50.000 free skill points went into sentry drone interfacing 5.

The way I see it Eve has 4 types of attribute modes.

Perception/Willpower (Weapon systems and hull skills)
Intelligence/Memory (Sciency nerd stuff, repair skills, support skills, drugs/capacitor/ewar)
Memory/Perception (Drone skills)
Charisma/Willpower (Leadership skills)

People will spend a majority of their time on the first one while serving a few tours of duty on the second one if they have the patience or a remap to burn.

I have a single bonus remap that I may one day burn on Wing Command 3-4-5 just for the fleer use but I will probably never use a drone remap for a full year.

Or you go with the even-split Int/Per and not bother with implants or attributes or remaps or any of that crap ever again.
