With Odyssey 1.0, the new skill trees came into effect. For the most part, the new plans
are a huge step forward in logical skill progression. For example, the HAC skill is no
longer needed for the Command Ships. This is one example among many.

However, the capital ship requirements are a bit out of whack now IMHO. The new requirement
of having cap ships 4 + jump drive cal 3 + jump fuel cons 4 for a regular old carrier seems a
bit much to me. Roll I propose these changes to dial things back down a little.

1) For anything with a jump drive, Jump Fuel Conservation 1 and Jump Drive Calibration 1 should
be needed, not any level higher. This includes all current "sub-skills" for those two skills.

2) Since we could loosely define a capital ship as "Any ship constructed from Capital Ship Components",
I say make these changes

Cap Ships lvl1 is needed for: freighters
lvl2: jump freighters & orcas
lvl3: (dockable) carriers, dreads, & rorqs
lvl4: super carriers
lvl5: titans

3) In an effort to generate some hilarious game content, make titan doomsdays usable on:
SBUs, TCUs, iHubs & POS Shields as well as capital ships. Evil


that is all

Not so subtle "let me DD structures again" thread detected. No. CCP employs devs, not politicians so no u-turn for you! :P

What exactly do you want you carrier for?

because they're still running with "if you could fly it before, you can fly it now", so, if you were able to fly a carrier, then you still can.
Proof of this is that I have capital ship 3 and am currently sat in a thanny

The fact that they drastically reduced the training time for carriers might have something to do with it . . . Hint you no longer need racial BS 5 to get carrier . . .
