EVE New Citizens Q&A

I have begun training of my character to be able to acquire better warships. However I have one question regarding that issue. If I want to buy a ship in the ship's requirements tab there is an information about training time period needed to have skills necessary to pilot it. This training period lasts from several days to several months. Is there any possibility to speed up this process? I have read about implants of boosters but I don't know exactly how they works.

Implants:

- train cybernetics to level 1
- for combat pilot crucial attributes are Perception and Willpower
- buy two implants and put them into slots 1 and 3
- restart training of chosen skills and they will be learned faster

Am I right?

So in htat guide Kira posted, go straight to Neural Remaps and Implants.

There is also a special 1 time use implant that boosts your training for 1 month.

It can only be used on new accounts though, not new Toons on an old account.

It's called the 'Cerebral Accelerator', and can be purchased via contracts in game.

increased attributes via implants/remaps = increased rate of skill training for augmented attributes

Spaceship Command (67) - Perception, Willpower (beginner) / Willpower, Perception (advanced)

So I assume boosting both attributes by +3 points will speed up Spaceship Command training.

All this is so complicated...

Not PvP. Rather missions and PvE.

Yes, exactly.
Yes, they will. But don't expect miracles. If you still have your basic remap, then these implants will increase training speed by 15%. E.g. a skill that took 3 days will now take 2 days and 14.6 hours. If training things that take months, you will save few weeks, but it will still take months.

As written in the guide linked by Kira, there are two ways to reduce training time: Implants and remaps. A remap has a bigger impact than implants, but while it makes you train some skills faster, it'll also make you train other skills more slowly. And you only have one remap per year, so choose carefully. Until you know better what exactly you want, I'd stick with the default attributes and only use a remap once you have a trainings plan for a full year.

Finally, for those ships that "take months", they are either capital ships or specialized T2 ships. You don't necessarily need those, there is a lot of fun to be had with T1 ships and even a battleship only requires 4 days of training to be boarded. (Of course, you'd need much more to be able to fly it efficiently.)

In the case of T2 ships and capitals, they take months because you need prerequisite skills at lvl V. And those prerequisites are not all Spaceship Command abilities. E.g. the Vargur (a Marauder) mostly requires Minmatar Battleship V, Energy Grid Upgrades V and Advanced Weapon Upgrades V. The Battleship skill is Spaceship Command and requires Perception/Willpower. Energy Grid is an Engineering skill and requires Intelligence/Memory. Finally the Weapon Upgrades skill is also an Engineering skill, but an unusual one and it requires Perception/Willpower.

workable remap. Not optimal, you don't really need to remap until you've got some basic skills covered.


You can fly any ship you want. Race/weapons system/etc. is not important.

Don't take faction missions against the 4 main factions. Or you will lock yourself out of large swaths of space.

27 primary and 21 secondary works better than 24/24 since not all attributes are equal. For example there are a good number of useful for new player skills that are perception primary willpower secondary but few that are willpower primary and perception secondary. Same for I/M over M/I since the first is good for overall piloting and the second is only good for production and processing.

I do think that placing two 24s for intelligence and perception is viable if you just want to skill up fast and hope this is what you ended up doing.
