==Skill Clone==

The terms ''skill clone'' and ''med clone'' are interchangeable. You'll need to remember that if you read other guides or forum posts.

The skill clone is your '''backup copy''' of yourself. If you get shot down (and you will get shot down), you end up in your pod. If that pod gets shot down (you get ''podded''), then you will end up in your skill clone.

Moving your skill clone incurs a fee, usually 5,600 Interstellar Kredits (ISK), or something trivial.

You must keep your skill clone updated, or you risk losing skill points.
 
 
==Jump Clone==

Jump clones are also copies of yourself. These let you quickly jump from one part of the galaxy to another instantly, no matter where your jump clone is located.

You can never have two jump clones at the same location, or you will lose a clone. Since these take time and ISK to set up, losing them is bad. Not only can you not have two jump clones in the same location, you cannot create a situation where you would ''accidentally'' put two jump clones in the same station.

There are three requirements for creating an additional jump clone:

# An NPC station or player outpost (Player-Owned Structures can not be used to create jump clones) with medical facilities ('''Note:''' Not all NPC corporations operate stations that contain medical facilities).
# Personal or corporate standing with the station owner of at least +8.0 for an NPC corporation, or at least +5.0 for a player corporation. This has to be unmodified standing; skills like Connections have no effect.
# Enough levels in the Informorph Psychology skill. Every level of Infomorph Psychology allows one jump clone, resulting in a maximum of 5 jump clones (in addition to a skill clone) for a character.

To create a jump clone, open the Medical panel, and click the Jump Clones tab. Click Install Clone to create a new, unimplanted clone at the station for a trivial cost (it's something like 5,000 ISK, which, if you're in the market for jump clones, shouldn't be more than a drop in the bucket).

Enjoy your new reality.
 
 
==Scenarios==

Suppose you have two jump clones, a skill clone and a body.
 
 
===Scenario 1===

# Station A: body
# Station B: skill clone
# Station C: jump clone 1
# Station D: jump clone 2

Scenario: undock from station A and get podded. Your soul travels to your skill clone. Your body is dead.

# ''Empty''
# Station B: body
# Station C: jump clone 1
# Station D: jump clone 2

Before you even consider undocking, buy a new skill clone.

# Station B: skill clone
# Station B: body
# Station C: jump clone 1
# Station D: jump clone 2
 

===Scenario 2===

# Station A: body
# Station B: skill clone
# Station C: jump clone 1
# Station D: jump clone 2

Scenario: clone jump to station C. Your "body" and your "jump clone" trade places.

# Station A: jump clone 1
# Station B: skill clone
# Station C: body
# Station D: jump clone 2
 

===Scenario 3===

# Station A: body
# Station B: skill clone
# Station C: jump clone 1
# Station D: jump clone 2

Scenario: pilot to station C.

# Station C: body
# Station B: skill clone
# Station C: jump clone 1
# Station D: jump clone 2

Scenario: Attempt to jump to station 2. You will get a warning, since performing this jump would put two jump clones in the same location. One of the jump clones will be terminated.
