Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

FAX is still a thing.
You will get the isk back that you paid for the skillbooks and your carrier skills will be changed to represent both Carriers and Fax.

NB; As of now, you will still need to train the new fighter skills but that may change too. Don't have enough information as yet on how fighters will work - Seems, carriers will only have 2 types of fighter at their disposal as Fighter Bomber skill is changing to Heavy Fighters. Which according to the blog can only be used by Supers, so no idea what will happen to existing fighters but fighter bombers are going away.

Until Devs have worked out what is happening, they are unable to tell us but we have been told to pay for and train new skills without knowing WHY.

They are COMMITTED.

Thank you for posting that. I saw his/her post and wasn't sure if I could follow forum rules when posting it to make him/her aware.

It was mentioned somewhere that capital cap boosters were being introduced. Can't find the post anymore, but it is also strongly hinted at in this paragraph from the devblog:

Capital Ancillary Shield Booster and Armor Repairer
Replicating existing Small, Medium and Large Ancillary Shield Boosters & Armor Repairers. The Shield Boosters will require capital sized Cap Booster charges, while the Capital Ancillary Armor Repairer will still use Nanite Repair Paste. The armor versions of these modules will be limited to one per ship just like their smaller cousins.

Wait, I am confused. I have Amarr Carrier V and bought the Amarr FAX book and am training it up. I know CCP is going to refund the cost and SP. But I keep seeing weird things about losing Carrier SP. Am I going to have to choose between reallocating SP into Amarr Carrier or FAX? Amarr Carrier V is quite a long train. How does this work?

I support this.

With the 'merge' of Faux and Carrier skills, will the Drone Interface V requirement change/disappear for carrier skills?

The CSM meeting notes seem to say, "Yes."

I haven't made my way through all of the pages, so forgive me if this has been asked before.

For those who wish to stay with a carrier as opposed to FAUX, would it be possible to refund the SP accrued in skills such as Tactical Logistics Reconfiguration? I know the first response will probably be: "just extract those SP." However, you do lose some SP in the process of manually extracting/injecting.

I have to disagree. The skill was trained to use on carriers that were capable of repping a fleet member in a decent manner.

I didn't spend months training skills to use an ineffective new class of ship that is designed to be all but disposable.

CCP should offer full reimbursement of capital logistics skills - Or make capital logistics worth the cost and loss to fly.
With the cost to buy and fit a capital logistics being more than a dread but with 80% (or more) less chance of surviving a fight - They need a lot of work.

EDIT; CCP Larrikin; Over a month later, 2 days from release still no blog.
