Looking at skill layout, comparing with Minmatar Destroyer.
It appears as if the Mining Frigate Level V is missing from the Expedition Frigates Requirement, in fact that skill does not require Mining Frigate skill at all. This indicates that Expedition Frigates might be used for multiple races like Recon skill. But as of today it is only required for ORE ship Prospect.

Mining Frigate Requirements
Spaceship Command Level I

Expedition Frigates Requirements
Electronic Upgrades Level V
CPU Management Level II
Power Grid Management Level II
Industry Level V
Spaceship Command Level III
<<-- Here would have been expected Mining Frigate V
<<-- Here would have been expected Spaceship Command Level I

Prospect Requirements
Electronic Upgrades Level V
CPU Management Level II
Power Grid Management Level II
Industry Level V
Spaceship Command Level III
Mining Frigate Level V
Spaceship Command Level I


Reference skill for comparison.

Minmatar Destroyer Requirements
Minmatar Frigate Level III

Minmatar Tactical Destroyer Requirements

Svipul Requirements

Was this supposed to be a Feature or an Idea?

Looks more like an observation.

In any case, wrong subforum.

I don't know, not sure what other sub-forum to put it in.

Ships & Modules I assume, or General Discussion if you feel like turning it into a speculation thread.

I'm sure some moderator will come along and move it, to where ever it belongs.

Actually it's not that strange, there are more "tech II" skills that won't specifically require certain previous skills, but the ships do.

in this case, it leaves space for other exploration ships, some of those that are not focused on mining like the prospect.

Yeah, and Assault Frigate is missing Amarr/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar Frigate V.
Expedition Frigate is a ship class, and likely not to be the only, or only for ORE in the future. Wouldn't make sense to have a say, Sansha Expedition Frigate but still having to train Mining Frigate V

Probably so they can tie other things to the Expedition Frigate skill in the future if they want to. The Prospect requires Mining Frigates to V, but if they want to they can create Expedition Frigates focused on the other site types or even on a new site type in the future and tie them to the skill.
