So I bought and injected Mobile Factory Operation... keen now to find other totally useless skills to invest in :P

How many others have these rare skills injected or hold the skillbooks?

The 383 does not include Black Market Trading. Black Market was one of three "character creation only" skills. Skillbooks were never seeded for these skills; they were only available in early years of the game to players making certain race, blood line, ancestry and academic choices when creating their characters.

Two of three such skills, Genetic Engineering and Mnemonics, were removed from character profiles that had them when Crucible was implemented in late November of last year. Black Market Trading is still in the game, which may suggest that it will eventually be implemented.

Long story, but the short answer is yes. There is one lightly-subscribed thread on the matter, the "Skills GONE after patch" thread (probably on page two or three by now), that was kept upbeat and diplomatic for the most part. The issue impacted relatively few characters, so trying to stir up a rage storm wasn't really in anybody's best interest. In my own case, other than a few comments in that thread, I chose to deal with my loss of the Genetic Engineering skill through petitions and emails to support.

The event does give rise to the question of what might happen to other skills that are in the game but not functionally implemented. I'd love to see some of them implemented and (re)seeded Cool
