being a 4 month old player i like this idea, it already takes an age to just become effective at pvp, this should help new players fly ships they are actually interested in effectively instead of just staring at a skill queue for months

A SP refund alone will not do as I trained many of these skills years ago.

I demand a SP refund with interest. I think 7.5% interest/month would be fair but I am open to negotiations on the exact number.


I think 15% is fair. :regd08:

I think you should give CCP a hard drive storage space refund.

OP, please check out this youtube video that explains exactly what should be done:

There's going to be tears of new players rushing into and losing expensive battleships with t2 turrets and pathetic tanks. But otherwise, the change looks fine.

Remove standings and insurance.

· 16 skills trained to level 5, for a total of 13,824,000 skillpoints.

That my gunery sp on main, hell yea this took long time before i got so memy sp in support gunery and multiple spec lvl 5 like on med - big rails or med blasters +lv4 spec on med big lazorz, im proud of my self, is all depend your view on this game, personaly i love to train skills that are 30+ day long i dont care about time, because EvE is for years and still got big future, hovewer i agre with you that missile tree is like easy mode for skiliing, because with small amount of sp in missile you can be powerfull after short time, while to get strong gunnery boat people need to spent months years...

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

He did something useful.
He pointed out that you're being very childish.

Is complaining that CCP have fixed a problem for others that I myself have long ago overcome 'useful' in your lexicon?

In my day, it took forever to train gunnery. And if your gunnery skills were too low, a t-rex would sneak into your hangar and eat your turrets! Uphill both ways!

I was in a wormhole in my beloved hurricane with all t1 gear blasting at guys in tengus and such when I was just 3 months old. How did I do it? Friends, I have them. They take me places and we do wonderful things. If you're waiting around to be "effective" at PvP then you need to change something: your friends, your expectations, something... newbros straight out of the tutorials can be effective at PvP and 10yr old vets can suck at it. Eve, with its many warts, is fantastic in that regard.

OP never made an alt? My strictly cruiser alt is gonna be very happy. I'm only sad this will roll out after I have maxed my lazor skills as I'd love to skip small lazors. Oh well.

don't know why people are moaning about this because at the end of the day those small and medium turrets are more fun to use imo

maybe these guys just run missions in a battleship all day

Silly!
Everyone knows that if you are missioning in a battleship you use small guns only!
It helps hit the frigates and means you can load up your low slots with 1600mm plate.

meh, train your gunnery skills and be happy about it. Someone said earlier its going to be fun to blap ****-fit noob piloted BS's who just finished Large Projectiles 1. To be fair my kb is lopsided on the loss side so I could use a few fish in a barrel.

Despite my posting prowess I really am terrible at this game

Knew there was a reason why I am only training missiles up to the new patch :) but ye, T2 large turrets before were what... well over 60 days to train?
