I'm sure it's a dead horse, but I'd like to toss my hat in for suggesting that the T1 ship bonuses be renamed to "Role bonus" and pre-calculated for level 5. It's never really made a lot of sense to me that CCP would leave them as-is when in a sense it implies that ships you cannot fly without the relevant T1 ship skill at level 5 could be flown with said skill not at level 5.

It just seems to me that the following would work out a little better than the current setup for displaying ship bonuses for T2 ships as well as look nicer and be easier for new(er) players to understand.

Quote:
Name: Cerberus
Hull: Caracal Class
Role: Heavy Assault Ship

No cruiser currently in existence can match the superiority of the Cerberus's onboard missile system. With a well-trained pilot jacked in, this fanged horror is capable of unleashing a hail of missiles to send even the most seasoned armor tankers running for cover.

Developer: Lai Dai

Moving away from their traditionally balanced all-round designs, Lai Dai have created a very specialized - and dangerous - missile boat in the Cerberus. Many have speculated that due to recent friction between Caldari megacorporations, LD may be looking to beef up their own police force with these missile-spewing monstrosities.

Role Bonus: 25% bonus to Kinetic Missile damage and 50% bonus to Missile velocity.

Heavy Assault Ship Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Assault Missile and Heavy Missile flight time and 5% bonus to Missile Launcher rate of fire per level

Maybe it is, or was once, planned to let players fly T2 ships without having the appropriate T1 ship skill at 5.

If it wasn't once it will be now.

CCP is thinking of changing the prereqs to LvL 4. I don't think they said anything about cancelling that, least not that I have heard.

Might happen, might not.

Maybe you could post this in the features & ideas discussion? I could see this implemented fairly quickly, all it would take is one fluent in english dev sit down and rewrtie descriptions for one evening.

no, t2 ships will require the t1 ship at level 5. it's level 4 for going up a "size" of ship. eg frig -> destroyer.

I dislike the idea of calling it a "role bonus" since some ships have role bonuses independent of skills, but I do like the idea of pre-calculating it at level V.

That's the current state of skill requirements for T2 hulls. While I see some benefit to altering those requirements, I don't think that is the point of this thread.

You don't need racial freighter at 5 to fly a jump freighter.

That's the only exception i know of.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Please don't remove these bonuses! They give me a sense of accomplishment for getting to V on a sheep skill.
