EVE General Discussion

(Re-using from an earlier thread) Such a system would completely gut the skill progression system, since prerequisite skills become worthless - for example, once you have your T2 large artillery, you could just recycle the skillpoints from small and mediums if you intend never to use them, and churn those points elsewhere. Need a raft of leadership skills for a command ship? Not anymore, once you have command ships injected, those skills can just be converted and used elsewehere. You will have Capital Ship pilots without a single skillpoint in any subcap of the racial capital they fly; suddenly Titan and Supercapital pilots (who are entombed anyway, so have no need for a single skillpoint used for any ship or weapon that isn't their particular coffin) generated in record time, as once they get the hull and capital mods skills in, they can flip the skillpojnts from the subcap skills to instantly max the capital ones. It would render whole parts of the skill system completely and utterly redundant.

And thats before we start talking about alliance mandated "mandatory remaps" to switch to a fotm. Before someone jumps in and says "you aren't being forced to do anything", the reality is much different. If such a thing was implimented, in serious organisations, it would be expected of everyone to do their part and utilise it. For example, a number of times my Alliance has shifted their main doctrines; in the last year we shifted from Maelstroms, to Rokhs, and then to Megathrons, and we shifted our Dreadnaught doctrine from bring what you like (unless its a Pheonix), to primarily Naglfars. In both cases, these changes were implemented over time (with some transitional allowances so people with no skills could still fly with the fleet while getting the relevant skills), yet, if this system was put in place, the expectation would be that everyone would burn their old skillpoints in to the new race.

You're old enough to remember that?

Epeen is the only onw who understands what Im getting at.

Im not talking remap for plex or remap all the time. I mean just the one remap per character per character. That's it.

Honestly, of all those here that say "no" how many would turn it down if it were offered?



I carry my age well.

This idea has been proposed several times in the recent past, so moving this thread to Features & Ideas Discussion would be not very productive as it would immediately get locked there for redundancy.
So instead, it gets locked here.

The rules:
