lets just stop right there

First! I apologize if I spelled that wrong, I'm too lazy to go look it up atm.
Ok, my friend just proposed this idea and we talked about it for a bit.
We're thinking a new skill for TKA that we get at med 4.
Enhanced metabolisim.
At TKA med 4, every 15 minutes you meditate, you take off2minutes, 30 seconds from your stomach meter in both food and drink. At master, 5 minutes.
So if you meditated for 30 mins as a TKM, you could take food 10 minutes earlier than normal(meditating any longer wouldn't help obviously).
This does not seemunbalancing and would be a cool new skill for the med line. What do you think?
When I eat food or drink something, I am trying to buff something or get some kind of bonus. So what I do is make the most of the time that my buffs last. I'm not going to eat something, then spend the duration of the buff meditating so I can eat something faster.
That's not an ability. That's an eating disorder.
Besides, I don't know about you, but I fill my food and drink meters with stuff that lasts about 40 minutes. By the time my buffs run out my stomach is empty anyways.
It's an interesting idea, but one with no purpose, sorry.

You must not PVP....It's possible to die in seconds sometimes, there's nothing you can do to avoid it.
I'm not talking about taking some food, then meditating so I can take more....That would work on a occasion but most of the time would be a waste.This would be more used for quicker stomach emptying after you just died taking food.
Say you're a tkm/rifleman who declared and doesn't have mind buffs, so he fills up on ahrisa, canapes, and brandy. 3 Jedi pop up and FR3 him down, killing him before he can switch to TKA.Now he has to wait 45 mins for his stomach to clear to do anything at all. That's happened to me numerous times.
In PVP, you have to use food to be your best.Most of the time, you will die with a full stomach since you took food while in battle to last as long as possible. You now must to wait 45 mins to PVP again. You don't HAVE to, but if you don't you are at a SERIOUS disadvantage.
I think this skill would add some to TKA, making us more unique. It fits the profession style,and would be helpfulyet not overpowering.
"You must not PVP...."
I PvP enough to know that if you spend 30 minutes meditating so that you can down some brandy a little early that you're completely worthless to your side.
How can you be the only one to see how impractical this is?

I read your post. Did you read it? You'd have to meditate for 30 minutes to remove only 10 minutes off of your stomach timers. Nobody in PvP is going to be spending that much time just trying to make some room for food and drink.
Or are you talking about just ganking people? Not real PvP, but just hanging out in an NPC city looking for overts to attack? Even that would be a waste.
Any ability that requires me to sit on my butt for more than a few minutes is a waste of my time.

Actually,IMO,most people would if they died on a full stomach(which happens....most of the time)...unless of course you are at a base war and are rushing in on suicide attacks out of the cloner.
It takes 20 mins+ to get fully prepped for battle with an empty stomach.(longer if you have to search for entertainers/docs or wait in line to get buffs).
Now, if you happen to befighting and you die, those 20minutes become 45 minutes because you have to wait for your stomach to clear.
So,if you die on a full stomach(or evenhalf ), you could save yourself a few minutes of down time. Instead of having to wait a full 45 minutes every time you die, you can be up faster and back into battle faster. The same concept as our wound meditation....
Now of course this wouldn't be usefull in all situations, more of a utility. That's what keeps it from being overpowered; just like our ability to heal wounds....
