Ship Mastery Level Suggestion

I propose that successive Mastery Levels should only list skills that are new, or of equal or higher level than preceding Mastery Levels. Ideally, there would be a checkbox allowing the player to view deltas from prior Mastery Levels.

By way of example:

Flying an Obelisk requires Advanced Spaceship Command V (prerequisite to Gallente Freighter I)

Obelisk Mastery Level I lists Advanced Spaceship Command I; each successive Mastery Level increases that by 1. Since you can not fly an Obelisk without Advanced Spaceship Command V, listing anything less only adds confusion.

Yeah, I sort of wish they had done this too. But it's a probably a case of both options being useful, but not really being worth adding Yet Another Checkbox. It's a tough call to make sometimes.

Actually, this particular one's not necessarily as pointless as some of the other mastery/certificate oddities. For those who trained into a freighter (injected the skillbook) before the skill changes over the summer, only ASC I is required to fly it. So the mastery makes a certain amount of sense for that particular group of edge cases (myself included).

Agreed!

Also a good point.

also remember you can lose SP by being podded and not having your clone up to date
