So I'll be able to fly effectively every carrier without 4x30days of training racial battleships to V?...

Great!

We cannot announce exactly when this is happening. But you have many months yet before this goes live.

I'd like to question some of the carrier skills:

Why Capital Ships 4 for regular carriers? Why not 3 for normal carriers + dreads and 4 for Supercarriers?
Why JFC 4 for carriers when JDC is only at 3? They're arguably more useful the other way around.
Why don't dreads need JDC/JFC?
Why is CapShips 1 a primary pre-req for carriers while CapShips 4 is a secondary pre-req under the racial carrier skill? That's just confusing to read.

A massive "Thank you !" to the entire CCP Team, keep going, it owns.

I've got a couple questions and/or things that I would like to talk about.

First, a question regarding skill reimbursement.

You specifically said "If you could fly it pre-patch, you'll be able to fly it post-patch".

And now I'm looking at this screenshot, regarding the Zealot skill requirements : Zealot requirements

It says that I'll need "Energy Grid Upgrade V" to fly it. I can already fly it as it is on TQ, does that mean I'll get Energy Grid Upgrade V when comes patch-day ?

Now a couple issues :

Regarding the Damnation screenshot here.

From what I can understand, it says that the "Command Ships" skill will require all types of "xxxxxxx Warfare" trained to V. And as the "Command Ships" skill is required to fly a Damnation, that means I'll have to train all types of "xxxxxxx Warfare" to V to be able to fly a Damnation.

It's highly illogical and should not hit TQ as it is. You're basically asking a Caldari pilot to train for Lasers in order to fly his Rokh.

If you want to fix this the easy way, then find other requirements for the Command Ship skills (Requirements that are not linked to a specific race) and add Racial Warfare V to the requirements for the command ships (ie the ships themselves, not the skill).

Specifically :



This part says "Let's bring in more specialization, but you should be able to use all command ship links before stepping in the command ship you want and use only one type of links".

If it still hits TQ as it is, the "You'll be able to fly it if you could fly it before" thing will mean that I'll get all types of Warfare skills to V, is that correct ?

About Freighters, Orcas and Rorquals :

Amazing, with a little bit of additional training, I'll be able to fly(and lose horribly) those ships on all my capital-capable pilots ! Thank you very much.


Oh and one last thing. I would still keep BS IV required for caps. I understand what you guys want to do, but we're talking about going from subcapitals to capital ships. It's a different class altogether, having BS IV as a requirement wouldn't hurt, really.

ok the skill tree for command ship skill is a bit confusing! i have toon that can fly command ships but i don't have all the basic warfare skills trained to 5 (i'm looking at you information warfare).

So when the skill changes hit will i get info warfare to 5 automatically?

and also for HIC - it need graviton 5 ! the old (current) skill uses prop jamming to 5 to inject HIC - what if i already inject HIC skill book now but don't have time to inject graviton physic skill book - i wont be able to fly my HIC or i will get grav physic to 4 when the changes hit?

If you're trying to tell me that it will be EARLIEST mid of May then i'm fine. (Had to take a break due to the wife and on return to adapt to the AI change)

If you're quoting 'many' from Pratchett's trolls, even better, that would mean early June at the earliest.

Problem is, April to May has been floating in the forums and anyrthing before mid of May would pose a problem for me :).

You will "get" 6 million more SP when they convert destroyers 5 into racial destroyers 5 and BC 5 into racial BC 5.

make sure your clone has the room for 6mil more SP because they are going to appear out of thin air.

They will transfer over whatever level BC / Destroyer into the racial versions. BC3? cal BC3, Gal BC3, Min BC3 and Ama BC3

You will still be able to fly it. The top skill in the tree is the only one that actually determines your ability to fly a ship. The Fenrir before and after will require:

Primary:
Advanced Spaceship Command Level I

Secondary:
Minmatar Freighter Level I

So you can fly it even though you do not have Advanced Spaceship Command at Level V.

Freighters are assbackwards (not that I particularly care):

The primary skill requirement after the change is already contained in the secondary skill requirement. You might want to just nuke the primary skill requirement altogether.

(if you had Racial Freighter as the primary skill and someone had already trained it then ASC V wouldn't be required amirite)

As far as I understood, an industrial rebalancing/tiericide will happen at some point, which is the main motivation behind the skill requirement streamlining in the first place.
