EVE General Discussion

So I've got 2 pilots. One is shy of 200k SP, the other is just shy of 900k SP. The pilot with less than 200k SP can fit an entire fitting of modules, including afterburner, etc. My 900k SP pilot can fit hardly anything. Can't fit even a single after burner. The pilot with less than 200k SP is Caldari and the other is Minmatar. I'm not sure if that matters. Is there any explanation for this? I can't think of any.

Why cant my Frigate Pilot fly cruisers... I DONT UNDERSTAND,

check your fitting skills

I'll bite.

There are a number of factors... but unless I know more details I can only guess (here is a way to easily display your characters' skills... http://eveboard.com/). What I can tell you right now is that total skillpoints do not necessarily mean a character is better.

So here are some possibilities;

- you have more skillpoints on one character in various skills that make fitting ships easier ("core skills" that reside in your Engineering skill tab like "CPU Management" and "Powergrid Management").
- different ships have more or less CPU and Powergrid than others... and some have more generous amounts of both over others.
- are you sure you are trying to fit the right mods to the right ship? There is a difference between a 10MN Afterburner (Cruiser/Battlecruiser sized) and a 1MN Afterburner (Frigate/Destroyer sized).
- by the same token, certain ships designed for certain weapons systems may not have the resources necessary to comfortably fit weapons they are not designed for (Minmatar ships are designed for Projectile Weapons... Caldari are designed for Hybrid weapons).
- some weapons consume more ship resources than others (rule of thumb; long range weapon systems require more ship resources than short range).

It's probably got something to do with your inability to focus your training.

Then again, you could have trained half of it into industry.

In which case, you've turned this into: I put all of my skillpoints into mining, why can't I fit the biggest guns?

Strangely enough I have a similar issue. I have two characters with this issue, this one and obviously another that both fly identical carriers with identical fits for moving stuff around.

Signal11th has pretty much lvl 5 skills for all the cap/support/cap repair etc and the other has most of this on level 3/4

Yet Signal isn't cap stable and the other less skilled one is.

I've been through all of the skills and the second account doesn't have any skill of Signals higher.

Both alts have the same implants as well.

Now the only difference I've managed to find is the one cap had the "old" Large Cap rigs fitted whereas the new one (signals) has the new capital rigs fiited. now both of these are valid and give the same 15% bouns.

I'm stumpted!!!

Actually Tippia you know a shed load more than me ,look at my above post please and have a guess because I'm actually stumped.

lol fecking obvious when someone gives you the answer. Thx Tips!

It's because Minmatar used to be slaves and often less educated than the Caldari. Even when allowed to learn things by their Amarr slave masters, it was usually things like floor-polishing and bucket-carrying rather than useful piloting or ship-fitting skills.

Op has been reported for impersonating an EVE player and this is a violation per the TOS.
