Skill Discussions

I just had this conversation with someone yesterday, and we both agreed that the training path for a Command Ship makes no sense. If CS were only boosting ships I could see the current training path being reasonable. I mean, you NEED the boosting skills to make a boosting ship viable. With CS ships being very capable combat ships I don't see the reason for the path you need to go down to get into them.

I have a combat toon that can fly all t2 sub BS except command ships. I forgot to plug the skill in before the change, and in my current remap it would take me roughly 47 days 9 hours 49 minutes and 6 seconds to be able to just plug it in.


Why do we need to train:

Armored Warfare 5
Info Warfare 5
Skirmish Warfare 5
Siege Warfare 5
Warfare Link Spec 4



The reason I am most annoyed by the pre-reqs is that those skills, without going to specs 5 + using t2 links + implant, are useless. You get minimal bonus from having those at 5, and most of the time you will have an offgrid booster with a medium/large fleet anyway.


CCP really needs to go over what the requirements are for this line of t2 ship. I wonder just how many people have actually done the full train for them since the change. Would probably show that not many people have. 47 days of training is much better spent on anything else. I would even rather do indy training on a combat toon before going down that path for CS.
