What happens when my character dies

If my capsule is destroyed and my character dies, where will I spawn?

If your capsule is destroyed you will spawn in the station where you set your clone contract. You can transfer your clone contract (for a minimal fee) by visiting a station with medical facilities, and opening up the medical interface. You can also upgrade your clone from the medical interface, to make certain that it will cover all your skills. It is also possible to utilize the medical interface to transfer your clone contract remotely to any station in which your corporation has an office without visiting said station.

Remember, regularly check the information on your character sheet (beside your portrait) where your total skillpoints are listed, along with information about how many skillpoints your current clone covers. If your total skillpoints are more than your clone covers, it is time to visit the medical facility to upgrade your clone.

If you have a lot of skills trained to level 5 then the skill points will be removed from the highest ranked of those skills.

However, for example, if you have a rank 12 skill at level 1 and a rank 4 skill at level 5, the skill points would be removed from the rank 4 skill as you have more skill points there.

When a skill has been selected, the system deducts the skill points your character has and the amount of skill points your clone saves. It then takes 5% of those skill points away, as long as that amount doesn’t total 50% of your total skill points in that skill.

To illustrate; if you have 10.000 skill points and your clone covers 9.000, the system removes 5% off 1.000 skill points, leaving 9950 skill points.

Medical Clone Contracts

To avoid skill loss, you should always make sure your medical clone contract is adequate for your skill points! It is a good habit to check before you undock, especially after pod destruction.

Planning for future training is often a good idea when upgrading a clone contract. You can use 2m skill points per month as a rough estimate of how many skill points you will need.
