1- When is the split to racial BC/destroyer gonna occur? 4th december? later? sooner?

2- All i need to do to get the most SP possible out of the split s to have BC's/destro at V? What about cruiser racial skill? does it have an influence.

eg: I have BC V + Amarr cruiser 3 (ONLY this cruiser racial skill)
I KNOW i will get amarr BC racial skill V, but will i get Caldari/other BC V???? even though i dont have the cruiser skill 3 required to operate BC's from caldari, etc because of the cruiser skill?

3- Its a bit like question 2 but i'm here for clarity, soo... All i SHOULD start training now is BC/Destro to V? or all the Cruisers to 3 aswell.

4-Im a relatively new player and only have used 1 REMAP (focus on int/mem) , soo i have 2 available. Should i Remap to perception/willpower in order to rush BC/destro V?

ty for ur time answering in advance, and sorry if this question has already been asked 1000000x times :(

Fly safe


A recent Devblog started warning us to train for BC V and Dessie V NOW. They have also indicted that you will be able to fly any ship you can currently fly, which to me indicates that you would be wise to get all the cruisers up to 3 ASAP, especially since this isn't a huge time investment.

I dont think the changes are coming in for December 4th, so you should still have time to do all this without needing to remap, but hey, if you got 'em why not use 'em? :)

i'm going on the "if you can fly it now you can fly it after" comment that was made, so i've train on both my toons accordingly so i can jump in any BC.
so if you want to make sure oyu can fly all the BC's i'd train the cruiser skill to 3 as well. as technically you can't fly a race's BC without it.

Later

2- All i need to do to get the most SP possible out of the split s to have BC's/destro at V? What about cruiser racial skill? does it have an influence.

Im not sure about this because CCP said you can fly what you can now after the change but then they say you need Racial Crusier III to get Racial BC [Whatever your BC level was before the change]

3- Its a bit like question 2 but i'm here for clarity, soo... All i SHOULD start training now is BC/Destro to V? or all the Cruisers to 3 aswell.

May as well to maximise the amount of SP you'll get for free

4-Im a relatively new player and only have used 1 REMAP (focus on int/mem) , soo i have 2 available. Should i Remap do perception/willpower in order to rush BC/destro V?

I would say yes, seeing as gunnery and missile skills also use perception and willpower so you can use it for them too and you have a spare one just in case

ty for ur time answering in advance, and sorry if this question has already been asked 1000000x times :(

In all fairness to EVE and what it is about, if you are festering over 2 or 3 weeks of cruiser skills you will end up with a fail fit BC anyway.

If you can't fly a Talos now, it's a good chance you can't fit it either.

I remapped ahead of schedule to make sure I had BC 5 and all four Cruiser skills to 3 for this.

U don't say sherlock... I know that, but it's totally different if 4/5 months from now i wanna jump from my harby to a drake and i have to train caldari BC's. I'm totally aware that im still a long way from properly fitting a BC, any BC

And this skill change is the driving force behind that thinking?

It's good that you are forward thinking but this should be a no brainer.

Cruiser 3 x 4.

Or you want to pick a forum fight. I can wait for your reply and at that point I will be happy to give you one.

Oh and I'm docked in Ommare if you'd rather go that route.

Apparently EVE Uni doesn't teach people how to read dev blogs.

The dev blog isn't exactly Shakespeare. By using a handful of examples and a textual description instead of a clear and concise table they virtually guaranteed an endless series of posts asking for the clear description they should have provided in the first place.

No, but it's pretty clear and concise. "You will still be able to fly what you can fly now" should tell you exactly what you need to know. The time frame may be vague, but that's normal development. At least they're telling you to start now.

CCP has no sense of humour.

And people /completely/ ignoring the dev posts on the thread attached to the dev blog.

Funny that. Everyone seems to think they're asking totally new questions.

Woo! CSM XI!
