After getting racial ship skills to 5, there's really no step up after them except to move on to train for the next size up. All of the tech 2 ships need the racial ship skill to 5, so getting an extra bonus from putting the time in to train is from getting the generic ship skill trained higher (HACs, AF, Covops).

So why not add skills like "Advanced Minmatar Frigate Control" that works the same as "Minmatar Frigate" to ship bonuses? (just as an example) This would allow people to specialize in different ship sizes beyond getting the racial ship skill to 5 and pretty much being done with it, and give people the choice of getting into a larger ship or furthering their training with what they're flying now.

Thoughts?

If you've maxed out training one certain ship, branch out and train another ship or train an alt in something. The system is the way it is intentionally so that newer players are able to catch up in certain areas while vets can branch out into other things.

tl;dr: Working as intended, train something else instead.

just because you get a ship itself to max lvl dose not mean your done with it you then have to get all the support skills for it also witch can take years in some casses.
