Skill Discussions

This is something i never really liked, why is it that you can train up any missile skill at any time without requiring lower class versions, However all gunnery skills do?

ie
HAMs do not require rockets // HAM Spec. do not require Rocket Spec.

Medium X requires Small X (same with Spec)

Drones are understandable however as they are not all damage dealing weapons

I never liked that missiles require to train separate skills for short and long range... Rockets/Light missiles, Heavy/Heavy Assault, Cruise /Torpedoes but guns Blasters /Rails, Autocannons/Artillery do not. How about all those extra shield skills that armor tankers don't have to train. My point is you can find all kinds of differences between training skills. Every thing doesn't have to be perfectly even. If you don't like one skill set you can always choose a different one. That's what makes eve so interesting
