EVE General Discussion

That will technically still be the case. You never need any lower-tiered prerequisites to actually fly or equip anything — you only ever need them to train the skills that do let you fly the ship. Like so.

What's being changed is that, before, as long as you had managed to inject a skill, you could train it as much as you liked, no matter what happened to your other skills. This change makes it so that to train a skill at any level (or at any stage towards a level), you have to still fulfil all prerequisites. Granted, you can't really lose prerequisite skill levels any more, so it would be next to impossible to get yourself into that kind of situation without having some skills grandfathered in from some previous skill tree change.

Yes, because they had already trained into Command Ships using the previous prerequisites.

Under the current system, once you have a skill you can continue to train it, so someone that even had Command Ships at level I on the old skill requirements can continue to train it now.

After next Tuesday, they won't be able to as the prerequisites need to be met.

That is actually a change resulting from another change in the skill queues that is good for all of us.

Where I said above that you can't inject skills you don't have the prerequisites for, that is only now. From next week, you'll be able to inject any skill and even queue them, but they won't train if you don't have the prerequisites trained first.

So currently, if you want to train into a ship, say a Confessor, you need to train Amarr Destroyers to V first and only then can you inject Ammar Tactical Destroyer.

From next week, we'll all be able to inject both skills and then just queue them up in order so as soon as Destroyer V is trained, you'll immediately start on the Tac Dessie skill.

While that's overall great, it means that skills like Command Destroyers can't be trained further because the server will check that the prerequisites are met, where currently it doesn't do that if it's already partly trained.

Where was this change announced anyway? I can only find people discussing it but I can't for the life of me find the announcement about how and why this is changing. I am so confused right now.

Yes. You will be able to extract it. You can also lose it when you lose a T3 cruiser.
