I'd like to see this revisited. Currently you never need to train any rigging skills at all and you can use the T2 rigs of all types. There are some rigging skills that it is worth training for fitting/speed/sig reasons(weapons/armor/shield rigs mostly) but a lot of rigs don't have any drawbacks.

I'd like to see the base penalties increased, with the benefits of training these skills increased per level. For example, double the base penalty and then change to skills to reduce the penalties back down to where they are now at V.

All rigs that don't currently have any penalties would get -20% hull as their base penalty, or something more appropriate.

Give us a reason to want to train these other than for fitting.

CCP has already made statements on this back when they made it so you can fit any twit of rig without the skills.

They probably needed this reminder, but no need to hash out ideas at this time.

Thanks

you realize people have always been able to do this right its just now they don't need an alt to fit them onto the ship and can just do it themselves

as far as the rig drawbacks are concerned, Id rather they spend ALOT of time making sure it works, as it is at least one, if not more, cap rigs are required on alot of amarr laser boat fits (along with msot of the mids being cap boosters because CCP declared that "balanced for lasers" that the slowest race has to use their tackle slots just to keep their guns wroking)

either way, drawbacks added to rigs like say, cap related rigs, could SERIOUSLY adversely effect amarrian and some caldari ships that rely on these rigs just to function on par with other pvp and pve boats
