They already required BC to 5. so that would be racial BC to 5.
As for the cruiser skill required. It should be dropped to 4. As:

Allowing for faster tech2 specialization, and slower multi-racial diversification. In EVE Online, while you as a new player will never catch up with the total amount of skill points a veteran has, you can still be on the same level by specializing. This is precisely what we want to promote here. For instance, currently one needs Amarr Cruiser and Battlecruisers 5 to fly an Absolution, after the change the same pilot will only need Amarr Battlecruisers 5 (on top of the other skill requirements)

That's a good million less SP to train for a command ship if you skip cruiser 5.
(on top of the other skill requirements) will likely be a mesh of Tertiary skills are Field and Fleet roles are now one.
And making them all combat capable ships with fleet bonus ability isn't much of a nerf. T3 boosting is the one getting rocked.

Thanks, the example in the blog passed me by because never having an absolution, it didn't click in my mind as a command ship.

Honestly, i really think people raging about guys not using the search function of the forums is a bigger issue when speaking about polluting threads/general information than people just not using search function or using it badly.

This thread is the perfect example about it.

Command ships will become significantly cheaper since they will lose their AF, HAC and Logi prerequisites. To quote an old post on the topic:

[racial] Cruiser V
     [racial] Frigate IV
Command Ships I
     Battlecruisers V
     Warfare Link Specialist IV
          Leadership V
     Spaceship Command V
Heavy Assault Ships IV
     Assault Ships IV
          Engineering V
          Mechanic V
     Weapon Upgrades V
          Gunnery II
Logistics IV
     Signature Analysis V
     Long Range Targeting V
          Electronics II

…will most likely become…

[racial] Battlecruiser V
     [racial] Cruiser IV
          [racial] Destroyer IV
               [racial] Frigate IV
Command Ships I
     Warfare Link Specialist IV
          Leadership V
     Spaceship Command V

All in all, the new skill tree cuts out some five and a half million SP that you no longer need to train in order to get all eight command ships, and in exchange, you need to spend roughly four and a half million SP to get all the new T1 skills to the correct level.

Is the date announced yet when the new skills will be implemented?

All I've heard is "not on December 4th."

Do you have a source for that? Just curious.
