Skill Discussions

advance weapon upgrades V is not a skill you really need for everyday in eve, so I don't think it qualifies as a skill you should train. even though it can definitely be useful sometimes.

it requires a 1% pg implant with awu 4 or you can just "downgrade" the MWD and get more cap and it costs less.


also weapon upgrades 5 is good it is a short train and you need it to get advanced weapon upgrades. taking advanced weapon upgrades to 5 is the stupid part.

Oh should I ? MYOB...

Accleration Control V

For me who flys mostly kiting ships this skill is awesome
and also makes a huge difference in speed my slicer goes like 4 km/s without heat, implants or links

First, sorry for my English, it is not my native. Here my 5 cents:

CPU Management.

Immediately when you decided to use T2 weapon systems and/or damage rigs, you are in trouble. And there only one module (in low), only one skill (with very few related), only one rig (almost useless, no matter T1 or T2) and only one (OK 2) implants to help. An alternative is to use very expensive dead space/faction/experimental modules.

Also, there are many, many hulls which have congenital CPU issues – almost all frigates, all destroyers, some nice ships (like Gila) and almost all missile boats - if you want to use Fury missiles and Rigors.

So – CPU Management in 5 as soon, as it is possible.

AWU V is definitely one of those to get whenever you're past the core skills.
It's often saved me a fit rather than scrapping it.

And to the bloke who foolishly says just use an implant for that extra 1% on AWU IV, what if i like to run with Crystals, or Snakes?

That's a pretty late game call. Well, maybe more like the end of the midgame. I don't think I'd undertake that under 80mil SP. [Edit: To be clear, I have maxed rigging skills. It's awesome. But I wouldn't do it early.]

It's also worth noting that not all rigging skills have the same value. The ones that double as fitting skills are absolutely worth more than the ones that lead to silly things like sig bloat. Yes, sig is important, but not as important as getting everything on your ship. Speed is similar to sig.

For the benefit of anyone reading this who doesn't know, rigging skills that double as fitting skills are:

Drones Rigging (CPU)
Energy Weapon Rigging (grid)
Hybrid Weapon Rigging (grid)
Launcher Rigging (CPU)
Projectile Weapon Rigging (grid)

Rigging skills that are situationally fitting skills are:

Armor Rigging (grid, but only for active tanking rigs: ANPs and nanobot accelerators)
Astronautics Rigging (CPU, but only on warp speed and cap need rigs)

There are exceptions, but other rigs usually fall into this pattern:

Armor Rigging: max speed
Astronautics Rigging: max armor
Electronic Superiority Rigging: max shield
Shield Rigging: sig radius

Jury Rigging itself is nearly useless. It is required to build T3 subsystems but the only rig requiring Jury Rigging that has a drawback is the Processor Overclocking Unit. For that single, solitary use it can help your max recharge rate.

To summarize, weapon rigging>armor rigging>other rigging>jury rigging to 5.
