Just recently came back to the game after about 4 years break. It's nice to see the changes that have been made, and I like the skill queue, but I find myself still using outside apps to work out a skill plan. It would be nice to have that integrated into the skill tree.

I'm not asking for any automation or additional time to the skill queue. I'm just saying it would be nice to map out what skills you'd like to train and have it available so one can add it to the skill queue when there's room available, instead of having to either remember what you want to, or have to train next, or having to use other applications outside the game.

Thoughts?

Yes, I have often been annoyed and surprised by the lack of such a basic and fundamental feature in-game.

There should just be a button that you can click from the info page of ANY skill, that generates and displays a tree of all the skills you still need, and tells you how long it would take to train all of them given your current implants and attributes.

Similar to the trees that are shown on the "prerequisites" tabs of item/skill info pages, except not including anything you already have trained, and adding in the time required. I guess it could even just be an option you could toggle on that prerequisites tab.

That's a bare minimum. Ideally, there should also be a tool that lets you specify multiple goals and tells you overall time for all of them, and identifies skills that count double or triple toward more than one of your goals, etc.
