I was wondering if anyone elses training will be making it just in time to get the most out of the SP adjustment when the 4th of June expansion rolls around? I'm currently on destroyer 5 which will be done on monday at 4PM with just enough time a few frigate levels before DT. I missed out on the BC 5 but that ok, I'll get it later. So, what about you?

Trained Dessie 5 for dictors, trained BC5 for CS. Have all the reqs for racial stuff anyway.

Would like a skill to reduce the costs of clones though, especially since I jump up another level of clone for zero benefit.

Odyssey will reduce the cost of clones across the board by 30%.

Oh, about 90 days after they announced that they were going to split the destroyer and Battlecrusier skills.

People THINK they are getting SPs for nothing.


They aren't.


The new skills simply complicate the already SP heavy skill system further by tuning two skills into 8.


Some love it, some hate it.

I totally dont care but there you are.

Other than a Rorqual driver that will get a small boost, I have no characters that are even remotely close to gaining any SP. My characters are single race focused for the most part so I've been pretty much ignoring this whole dramatic comedy.

Mmmm I know. Would be better if it had a 70% reduction though. Clone costs are a minimal isk sink and IMHO should be linked to what station/region you're trying to set the clone in.

Way OT anyway :)

Unfortunately I picked an odd time to come back, when the expac hits I'll have about 19 days to go on BC 5. Straight

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

I know it's not ''bonus'' SP per say. It's just your total SP adjusted for the new skill tree layout. We also don't get to choose where those SP go, they are all going toward making us fly what we can already fly come the 4th of june. Roll

I'm getting full SP for the battlecruiser stuff (as I have all T1 frigate, cruiser skills at 5 anyway, along with T2 weapons for all 4 races).
Only lvl 4 on destroyers, so not the full amount there, but it's only 7 days per skill anyway. :)
