Time in eve = isk For those 16 extra days of having a hulk you can easily out earn how much you spent on the +3's. That and you'll speed up the mining skills as well.

Time is the single most important thing in eve.
This.

The thing about implants isn't that they are only good for a few things, but that they speed up your learning skills which speed up your skills. I keep a brand new alt on one of my accounts so I can do skill planning anytime I want from EveMon. It saves me from having to worry if I'm taking an existing char's skills and implants into account when I'm figuring out times.

So here are the rough calcs for getting into a Hulk.

No learners: 79d 15h
Learners: 50d 19h
Learners/Implants(+3): 42d 5h
Learners/Implants/Remap: 37d 23h

You will spend about 20 mil isk for the advanced learning skills.
You will spend about 40 mil isk for the +3 implants on all attributes except charisma.
You get two remaps with a new character, and then there is a year delay.

You save 42 days, which is more than 30 days of play time, which is 320 mil isk.

Spend $34.95, get 2 Plex. You will get about 600 mil isk for them in Jita after taxes. This is enough money to get 9 trial accounts training with advanced learners and implants. You will have to convert them to paid accounts to be able to train some skills, but I don't see this as a cost since you get 30 days play time on the main, you're just paying for a different account. To me, the $34.95 to get money for implants and learners is cheaper than waiting an extra 42 days.

IMHO, the EVE trials are even more insane than RAF. My guys keep training even when I sleep. I've started a bunch of trials who are only working on learners and such, but the first thing they all do is train cybernetics to level 1. +5 implants aren't worth the time it takes to train the cyber netics skill up, especially when you can get +3 implants with the level 1 skill.


As for a seperate forum area, I'd back that, but I'd also settle for the Eve multiboxers thread being stickied.
