Any news on when/if CCP will reduce the Battleship V requirement for carriers to IV? For some reason I thought it was going to be this patch but I suppose not. Having a hard time finding any info on it.

The skill changes go in, when the rebalance for the ships goes in.

BS and Caps are probably at least a year away.

When the other skill changes happen. Its not in retribution. Its later after the BC and BS ship are rebalanced.

And for those searching the forums for skill changes for destroyers, skill changes for battlecruisers, skill changes for battleships. not in retribution launch.

Prob worth mentioing the other skill and ISK requirements to get into a carrier and fly it well, let alone Triage, completely eclipses the 25 days required for racial BS V.

I think the IV requirement will be a generally welcome change but the time reduction will be a drop in the ocean compared to the sum of skills required to be a combat ready carrier pilot.

For players looking to just jump in a carrier for personal logistics it will be a greater boon but even then you get the Jump Drive Operation V sting in the tale. :)

Not to mention Jump Cal 5 and Jump Fuel Conserve 5.....

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

This, I can fly whatever T1/T2/T3 sub cap ship, however I don't specially need blops/marauders on whatever character with in an already far too expensive POD, so why is whatever character stuck with this stupid lvl5 BS requirement just to jump in to whatever internet space ship pixels carrier?

Make it requirement for Super Carriers, but not carriers because it's silly.


And do it now!!

I said now!!

I want to pick the Archon instead of Thany but should I stay stuck in training to it when I can already fly all racial cub cap different tech ships? -or just make that BS skill a non racial one ! (yeah)

Parrots, commence.

It makes sense to have Battleship 5 for a carrier.

The same as it makes sense to have smart bomb 5 for doomsday device. Or it did, at one time.

Haha, yeah. I try not to remember the drought of new things to fly whilst I trained all that.

But worth it, though. Caps are serious business.
