Prereqs met but not met.

So I'm training a skill to then train another skill as the first is a prereq to the next. I'm adding the second skill to the queue after the first one has finished. Meaning all prerequisites will be met when the second skill starts to train. Why can I not do this?

Because you can't queue books.

You need the prerequisites to inject the book. You can't add a skill to your queue without injecting it first. And you can't queue skill book injection, only training.

But as I'm adding it at the end of the queue the prereqs will be met at the time it reaches the skill. If I'm online at the time I can drop it in, I'm aware of that, but how is that different from adding it now? In both situations it will start training the skill at precisely the same time.

Because if you were sneaky, you would add the book to the end of your que (before the last skill trained). Then you would have that book injected at 0. You could cancel the pre-req and just train the next skill because there is no in game mechanic to stop you from training a skill that you don't technically have a pre-req for.

This is intentional because when the game changes the pre-reqs to fly capital ships from Advanced Spaceship CMD 1 to ASC 5 people who didn't have ASC5 can still train capital ships (if they had the books injected pre patch) without having to go back and retrain skills, "If you could fly it before you can fly it now."

Your thought process is reasonable, but people would exploit the process if it were possible. (as mentioned^)

I've heard Pre-Injection is a serious problem in some men.
