Wondering if I need Shield Rigging 4 in order to use a ship that has Medium Shield Purger 2 rigs fitted. I remember something that back in the day only rigs fitter needed the skills but I would like to verify it before I throw ISK in any way.

You don't need the rigging skill for a certain rig no if it's allready put on. However you might have trouble with fitting since some fits have very tight fittings which might rely on a rigging skill being at a certain level.

You need the rigging skills to fit the rigs, but not to use them - but you'll be hit with full penalties for the rigs if you don't have rigging skills. Which will slow you down like a car in mud for armor rigs, give you a signature like a road flare for shield rigs, gobble up CPU for missile rigs or powergrid for turret rigs, that sort of thing.

skills are not needed to use rigs, they are needed to fit them. Also un-skilled rigs tend to carry hefty penalties.

you may want to buy some minmatar based faction shield extenders to cut down your sig until you train the skills.

Unskilled that ship will light up lke a x-mas tree....the faction SE's would cut some sig radius.

I am assuming this will be a passive regen build using SE's ofc....my bad if wrong in the assumption.

Or just bite the bullet and train the skill. Getting to 4 doesn't take THAT long.

Yup, thats what I did. I got shield rigging at 4. The reason I asked it in the first place was because I was in a hurry to fit T2 rigs on my Loki and didn't have the days it took to get the skill to 4.
