Hey Doireen!


It's not really doable, because the game is balanced around these numbers.

It's all math and the math is balanced out against each other.

There are some things that, when changed, can break something else,
even if it's just a 5% increase.

Skills to VI will make the obsession with SP worse than it already is, and will only be useful for very old characters. It would be nothing but a stealth nerf to new players while bringing nothing new or useful to the table.

And as mentioned before, "advanced" versions of skills already fill this "level VI" role. It really is unnecessary.

Bitter Vets have already enough advantages over nubs. PVP pilots get all there skills to hammer new bros, industry vets got given T2BPO's so they can hammer new bro's into the dirt at manufacture industry, older market traders got to gain massive capital using market bots and now new bro's can't because market botting is punished by CCP.

Eve has never been so hard for new people except maybe incursion, mining and level 4's with use of CCP sanctioned and promoted IS boxer. Adding level 6 skills will just make it even harder for new bro's in every way, PLEX price has allready got to absurd levels because of IS boxer and a relaxation on the mining bot and mission bot enforcement.

Oh look at the clueless, trolling coward.

Otoh ... it's a brilliant post.
You really cover a lot of ground in these few lines.

Good point. Imagine if CCP let people use implants that gave them the equivalent of level VI skills...

Because paying a subscription fee is so hard, I mean that $15 a month is just brutal.

With the changes coming in the summer expansion, level VI would only get you to 60% of the current benefit it provides (multiplier wise, not DPS), but the training time would be on the order of 100 odd days.

100 days for an extra 10% would be a bit meh really.

Yes! Exactly! Why should i pay $15/month for 6 months when I can just pay $90 in a single month? That's less than my internet bill ffs!

Well How about Skills to Level Vii?

Yes... 7...

And while we are at it.... I want Tech 3 mods to be used on only Tech 3 Ships...

And I want less limitations in Hi-Sec. Like... being able to Launch Bombs for sure. Maybe use Bubbles...

And I'd really like to see Mines back...

And to be able to load up the skill queue for 90 days instrad of 24 hours...

And be able to jump every hour instead of 24 or whatever...

We could just relabel as them XI but have the same effect as V.

Ugh, one based people are the worst.

Skills start at 0, and with the "advanced" versions of skills, that means they go from 0 to X (0-V + I-V), i.e. there are 11 levels of skill. Or is it 12 level of skill? (0-V + 0-V)

Also what is zero in Roman numerals?



Romans lacked the intelligence for the number 0 so they have no such numeral.

They sometimes called it "nulla" which means none in Latin.

There are a lot of skills that I could see having Advanced Versions... but no Advanced skill should require its parent skill to be Level V. I'm looking at you Weapons Upgrades.
