Does anyone know of any Fitting tool that allows me to set the parts I want to the ship I want, then tells me the skills necessary to do so, including things like Power Grid/CPU upgrades needed.

EFT and Pyfa. Google or look a few pages back on this forum, each has a thread dedicated to it.

EFT and Pyfa as said above but EVEMon is a good supplement to that.

Nothing to do with fitting but it gives you time frames for training and is an out of game program that tells you what you have training and how much ISK you have w/o needing to open the client.

EFT seems to work find however I still can't seem to find how (or if it does not have that function, where) to find what skills I would need to use that setup at minimum levels. all it has is No skills or All skills at V.

This will lead you to your API Key.

Create New Character is on the Character Editor next to the drop down menu. 2 Spaces over is the API Skill Import which when you put in your AP transfers your skills into EFT.

As for finding out what minimum skills you need each module has a show info and hovering over the red icon next to the Character bar on a setup will give you a drop don list on an inputted character. EVEMon handles this better though.

When you create a new key it will give you an ID and Verification Code.

Here is a fake one I modified of my real Key. Looks the same but I jumbled it. You have to create your own because you decide how much information it gives.

Ok, one last question about it, so I got my character, and I got the fitting I want, now is there any way to use the EFT compare the skills I do have, and don't? I mean like what skills I would need to get, and to what level to have the Right CPU/powergrid. the red bar seems to only give what skills are needed to use the item.

Right click the modules and the empty space to temporarily change your skills. Once you learn what skills affect fitting (Electronics, Engineering, Weapon Upgrades, AWU, Shield Upgrades, rigging skills, etc) it's a simple enough matter to tweak the level of each one up to see if training another level or two of any given skill would give you the fitting room you need.

You can create several API keys. I'd create one for EveMon and EFT to use for yourself so you can see what isk you have, mail you receive, notifications, etc...
Create a seperate one with basic info if a corp you apply to requires you to give an API or if you want to add your character to eveboard.com

You can raise up a certain skills levels on your character to see how it will effect your setup. I.E. you can raise Electronics from 4 to 5.

As for what skills you want to use it is up to you to read them and decide what you want to test to make your ship more effective.

Eve HQ has a pretty good interface for this (skills needed for ships and modules).

Pretty much the same set up (key, etc). EFT tends to be smaller and faster though.

Woo! CSM XI!
