I'm back after 1 year so i've missed quite a lot and i feel like a complete newby... even more...

I'm quite sure (not 100%) I had destroyer at 5 but now i find myself with Caldari Destroyer, Minmatar Destoryer and Gallente Destroyer at lvl 1... meanwhile Caldari BC, Minmatar BC at 5. Destroyer and BC are now race specific, got it, but the change it's not totally clear for me (sry)
Destroyer at lvl 3 is a prereq for many ships, i can fly my golem and raven and tengu without this prereq so i'm ok but i'd like to understand this.

Can someone pls explain me? tks

One more Q: if i train gallente cruiser am i getting gallente BC as well?
Before leaving i needed only to train Gallente cruiser to fly a myrm... now i'm not sure

Thanks thanks thanks

Skill has changed. Destroyer 5 got Racial Destroyer 5. Only prerequisite: Racial Frigate at 3.
Same for BCs, with the Racial Cruiser skill at 3.

From the patch notes:

Ship Skill Changes

The generic Destroyers and Battlecruisers skills have been removed, and replaced by 4 racial variations each to be more consistent with the other Tech1 Spaceship Command skills. Reimbursement details below.
Battlecruisers skill: a pilot having at least a Racial Cruiser skill at 3 on top of Battlecruisers skill trained will receive the new Racial Battlecruiser skill at the same level than the old Battlecruisers skill.

Ex: a player having Amarr Cruiser at 3, plus Battlecruisers at 4 will receive the new Amarr Battlecruiser skill at 4.

Destroyers skill: a pilot having at least a Racial Frigate skill at 3 on top of Destroyers skill trained will receive the new Racial Destroyer skill at the same level than the old Destroyers skill.

Ex: a player having Gallente Frigate at 3, plus Destroyers at 5 will receive the new Gallente Destroyer skill at 5.

Progress between skill levels will be properly saved and duplicated among all the eligible skills. For instance, a player having 128,259 skill points in the Destroyers skill, plus Caldari and Minmatar Frigate at level 3 at the time of the reimbursement will properly receive the Caldari Destroyer and Minmatar Destroyer skills at 128,259 skill points.
Players having the Destroyers or Battlecruisers skill trained, but with no Racial Frigate or Racial Cruiser skill at least level 3 will have their skill points for both of the skills moved into a the skill point allocation pool.
Any player training Destroyers or Battlecruisers skills at the time of Odyssey deployment will have his or her training queue paused. We highly recommend not to train those skills when that happens or you may lose training time.
Skill training has been modified – it is now not required to know all the prerequisites of a particular skill to train it once it has been injected in your character head.

This has been done to allow players to keep training Spaceship Command skills they qualified for before the skill changes without having to train the new requirements.
No changes have been made to the skill injection system - all skill requirements need to be met before skills can be injected into your character's brain.

This was a one-time thing, so no, you won't automatically get Gallente BC if you now train Gallente Cruiser.

Open the market. Pick a ship. Click on "Prerequisites" tab. What you need and how long it will take are displayed. Simple.

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.
