I'm certain, if you try, you can eat marshmallows on the CCP balcony in the snow.

I realize that this will simply be buried under the additional pages of this thread, but let me try to explain it to you:

No one is getting free skills. The racial cruiser/frigate skill is required to INJECT the racial destroyer/battlecruiser skillbooks, it IS NOT required to actually fly the destroyer/battlecruiser. The check for required skills occurs at the time the skill is injected, so if you have not injected battlecruiser/destroyer at the time of the change, you will instead have 8 different skills to inject to be able to fly all of the ships.

No one is getting a free level on any of their skills. The requirement won't apply to people that already have battlecruiser/destroyer because they already have the skill. If you already have Racial Frigate/Cruiser to III, you will receive the Racial Destroyer/Battlecruiser skill pre-trained to the level of Destroyer/Battlecruiser you already had at the time of the patch. You WILL NOT get Racial Cruiser 4 for free if you only had level 3, you will simply not need that skill to fly Racial Battlecruiser because it will already be injected.

Here is the pertinent quote from the Dev Blog:

"With the way nested skill requirements work in EVE, it also means that you will still be able to fly an Apocalypse even if you don’t have the Amarr Battlecruiser skill trained at 4 after the change. It won’t matter as long as you have the Amarr Battleship skill at the proper level."

I don't understand what the problem understanding this is.

And this is why, way back before Inferno? When these changes where announced, I went and made sure I trained up all racial frigate skills to 4, had Destroyers at 5, trained all racial cruisers to 4 and Battlecruisers to 5.

Anyone complaining about the changes to the skills, or having to train them, I have no sympathy. It has been known for quite some time now, long enough to have trained all those skills from 0!

When is there any specification change of this BC's skill?
it's early in spring?

It doesn't make much sense to turn the Typhoon into a missile boat for 2 reasons.

1. Its already mentioned that cruise missles and torps are poor performers at the moment and the Raven is seeing poor days. Why would you make another bship based on a weapon system (cruise missiles) that is a underperformer? Does adding a 2nd bship with the identical poor utilized weapons system (torps and cruise) add anything?

2 The the cross training to make Typhoons work well wouldn't make sense. Players would train gunnery and projectiles all the way up, but at the bship level would then need to switch to a completely different weapon type where all the previous skills are wasted.

How about giving it a support role with a Target Painter or Stasis Web bonus? And a complete 100% hull redesign (throw out the old model completely).

yk

I reactivated and started after inferno and that dev blog and only recently became aware of it.

But I still want to get all that I can out of this and not get screwed :)

Agreed. More ewar at the BS level would be good.

Also really want to see thoughts on BLOPs. My god there are god suggestions on updating them and are desperately needed.

Then don't use them. T3 cruisers are a scourge upon new eden.

Remind me why I trained Gallente? Everybody is getting drone boats in these new changes.

Cleaned up an off-topic real-world politics outbreak.

Please leave it out of here in the future, thanks!.
