As a new player to EVE (Less than a month) I have taken a liking to the certificate system; It gives me a little more confidence and structure to my skill path as I choose it.

What I'd like to suggest is that the total time needed in training the prerequisites for each certificate be displayed somewhere about the sub-section for each. This would of course include the time needed for training the prerequisites of the prerequisites, and would adapt to reflect training already progressed towards it, implants in effect, and so forth.

I am aware this feature exists on a per-skill basis, and I don't want to seem too lazy to crank some math or have a gander to get a rough idea. It would simply be nice — and convenient — to have a realistic time-frame projection right there to see.

more iteration and attention to the certificate system would be nice for new players and just in general

'Tech3 ships need to be put down, like a rabid dog drooling everywhere in the house, they are out of line' CCP Ytterbium Nerf missile range into place where is the TD missile change?  ..projectiles should use capacitor. ABC's should be T2 HABC and nerf web strength its still too high

Seconded. A "time to completion" on mouse-over for each cert would be most welcome.

The certificate system is a very handy roadmap to what you need in order to do this or that efficiently. It's a bit buried under everything else and deserves some attention.

Remove it. Instead put up a list of ships you can fly with skills, and % efficiency for each.

Thanks for the positive feed-back guys.

I like the certificate system because it provides me a solid training path without focusing on a single ship. Perhaps I misunderstand, but you seem to be suggesting that versatility be removed in the favor of specifing proficiency with individual boats. I like that idea, but I would encourage it as a seperate feature that coincides with the certificate system rather than replacing it.
