Since the cruisers are required for the battlecruisers skill only, not actually required for the ship, you'll be fine.

As long as you meet the top-level prereqs, even if they change the inner ones, it won't matter.

I understand that part, but how would they reassign the skills, like for example would I get BCV for all 4 races? even though currently I can't sit in any battle cruiser as I have no cruiser skills trained at all, just BCV. they make mention of if you could use it now then you will be able to use it after, but as i can't use them now, do i just lose the skill?

As I already stated above, I don't like that at all. Min/maxers like myself carefully use neural remaps in our planning ahead. CCP shouldn't screw with that. If I have already trained BC V, and remapped to somethuing other than perception/willpower, I should not suddenly -- and thru no fault of my own -- be forced, as it were, to train suboptimally to re-acquire something I already had.

Dont forget the Warfare Link Specialist IV :D
But i think this ship changes wont come with May 22 patch.

I can't believe the selfishness of so many people posting here about how "unfair" the coming changes are to them. Just because you trained skills that make no sense to get to a certain ship doesn't mean everyone after you has to suffer the same consequences. Not being able to fly what you could yesterday is understandable, and CCP said 1,000 times already that THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. But people are now complaining about everything else they had to train. HTFU, we all had to train those same stupid skills to get to a ship we wanted, they finally fixing that for the better and all you can think about is your time lost. You're pathetic.

If you bought a car that was giving 20 m/pg and drove it for 2 years and then the same car company released a new model which gives 40m/pg are you going to go back to the dealership and bang down doors demanding a refund because you spent 2 years driving around and wasting all that gas? HTFU!

Now that I got that rant out of my system, CCP, PLEASE in the future release SEPARATE blogs on such huge issues as these. The important stuff that should be discussed (SHIP REBALANCING) is being drowned out and replaced by a sea of whining from a bunch of panicking lemmings.

Did they say WHEN splitting of Destroyer and Battlecruiser skills is going to take place? I understand it's not going to be May 22nd with the initial Inferno patch. Although I could be mistaken. But if not then, then when? A month from now? Three months? Six?

Hmm I'd really liek to know what came of these plans. No furtehr information, nothing in Patch notes no news or announcements...

Having kept up with this whine-fest thread from the beginning, I immediately trained BCV and DESTV and trained amarr frigate 5 and amarr cruiser 3.

SOOOOOOO... When this whole thing hits like it's been said over 9000 times before, I will probably come out with every racial Destroyers V and every racial battlecruisers V.

Up 4.5m SP + any SP reimbursement for Battlecruisers
Up 1.5m SP + any SP reimbursement for Destroyers

As a bittervet, you have to just take what CCP throws and turn it for the better for you. I wonder how many people actually did this grind in preparation.

Even if it doesn't go as planned, BC 5 and Dest 5 are good skills to have to 5.

I really hope the person that does the balancing is not the person that did the blog

"This opens up possibilities in terms of new ships. For example, why does the Amarr drone and tracking disruption line ends with the Arbitrator? Or the Gallente drone and dampening abilities stop with the Exequror?"

The Exequror is not the gal dampening ship that's the Celestis, the exequror was balanced last time to be a cargo transport.

Ok this is a repeat of questions I had in what was a dead thread. So pasting it here :p Now keep in mind that "NO i have not read the whole flipping thread, i want easy answers and not have to skim through them all. So deal with it."

If nothing below is comprehensible then just ignore this post and troll away (CCP Loves Trolls, hopefully they have one to whip the hamsters tomorrow so the update goes smoothly) Anyways Ya heres my uneducated questions based of like 1 page of ****..

Ok, am i getting this correct.

If say Joe has BC 5 he gets Racial BC 5 across the board, but if you have 4 or less you get that across the board?

Would this not be a big advantage to those who have BC 5 already due to everyone else having to actually take each racial bc to 5 virtually making what took Older players 2 months to do new players would have to spend 8 or so months to get the same racial skillset that older players where just given because they trained BC 5 previously? Or are the racial BC skills going to be reduced in skillpoints and multipliers lowered?

If in fact people with BC 5 currently get a free pass for across the board BC 5 yet that person with BC 4/3/2/1 now has to train 4x the amount of skillpoints to accomplish the same goal is just ridiculous.


Hopefully the above statement is somewhat comprehensible and someone can clarify exactly what is going to be happening.


Also another question is, lets say Joe Shcmoe is currently training BC 5 when the racial class's are implemented, does this person loose out even though he was on the track to BC 5? If so this seems quite unfair also.

If this is the case then Racial BC 5 should not be given to those that already have BC 5. Instead some form of faster multiplier should be given to those that have BC 5 for the other races. Yes this is still unfair but in the end at least those who already have BC 5 will not be given a training advantage (not having to train any Racial BC skillset).

(Below is surely wrong, BC 5 there so. but ya u get the idea)

Someone with BC 5 already = 1,536,000 sp

if all racial bc skills are the same thats 6,144,000 SP to get all racial BC 5. This gives those with BC 5 already literally 4,608,000 free skillpoints.


All in all

WHO THE F--- Cares, we will all get over it, eve will continue, people will rage quit then come slithering back.
