There is a lot of space for an additional info in skill description.

So maybe is good to add info about what this skill enables.
for example:

Minmatar Frigate

Skill at operating Minmatar frigates.

Level I allows You to fly Reaper.
Level II allows You to fly Burst, Probe, Slasher, Vigil.
Level III allows You to fly Rifter
Level V allows you to train for an advanced frigates such as Covert Ops, Assault Ships, Electronic atack ships and Interceptors.

Same with the modules.

Ships are clickable, ship classes are evelopedia links.

It will bring more clarity to new players, why they're might want to train another level.

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

Teiricide is removing all that stuff anyway. When they're done, every ship will require just the level 1 skill.

also, this isn't true:

Level 5 allows access to that race's tech 2 ships IF you have the T2 skill associated with them. You don't want someone training Min Frig 5 and then wondering why they can't fly a Wolf.

The way its said, did say that it allows you to train for advanced frigs. There are still the prereq tab to tell you what needs to be trained as well.

I like the idea of clarity, as some descriptions lead to more questions than answers.
