What will be happening to the Fighter + Fighter Bomber skills after the changes to the multiple fighter types? Will the different specializations of fighter squadrons get different skills that will be derived with the current skills, or will they stick with just Fighters with the FB skill being taken out of the game (possibly replaced with unallocated SP)?

If it is the case that the Fighter skill is to be split, I'm sure most of the playerbase would want the announcement to be early enough to train the skill to 5 if they have yet to achieve this, similar to the Destroyer/BC skill split a few years ago.

I didn't see any discussion of this during the presentation, but I would think they will refund the skills, since it doesn't seem like there will be a direct corollary between fighters/fighter bombers and the proposed system.

I imagine they will stay as skills from what they have said. No reason not to keep them as base skills.

They said on day1 that carriers would deploy between 3-5 squadrons.

So assuming anything remotely close to current skills
1 squadron per carrier level
20% damage per fighters level
advanced drone interfacing gets changed or removed.

In the pass they just converted it to match the new skill. Like they did with BC and medium drones ect.

So can you do run 5 anomalies simultatiously with your squadrons then?

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

Yes, but all 5 anoms have to be on grid with you at the same time.
