I plan to fly an Archon and Revelation for PVP. I have Capital Repair Systems, Capital Remote Armor Repair Systems, and Capital Capacitor Emission Systems to 4. Would it make sense to train these to 5 or is there not much of a benefit from this? It''s only 90 days but I don't want to train it if they're not really needed.

First, a PVP Revelation doesn't use any of these skills & the Revelation is pretty much dead as a dread. The Phoenix is actually ahead of the Revelation after the next expansion.

Second, a PVP Archon doesn't use Capital Repair System Skill either. Now taking Capital Remote Armor Repair Systems or Capital Capacitor Emission Systems skills to level 5 is only needed if you have all your other support skills to level 5. There are too many support skills to list but you should know them if you plan on flying a carrier.

The purpose of a Triage Carrier is to keep the rest of the fleet alive.
In turn, the rest of the fleet will kill stuff as fast as possible.
If you can't keep them alive....guess who's going to lose an Archon?

In my opinion:
You want T2 triage first, then remote Capital Cap, then remote Capital Armor, and lastly, your own Capital Repairer.
You could change this training sequence however you want, None of the skills to V is a bad thing...but if in doubt, re-read paragraph 1.

All support skills are at 5 and I plan on having T2 triage.

I was just wondering how many cap pilots take them to 5 and if so why?

My thing is I want to train all the intelligence memory skills first since I'm mapped for them.

The reason for training them is because of capacitor concerns.
Capacitor is life for triage carriers
(wonder why on a lot of triage deaths, there's a bhaalgorn on the kill)

If your on int/mem on a carrier toon, I'd say go ahead and take them to V. You won't regret it. T2 triage is more important but I can't remember if that is P/W. This is ofc assuming you actually have decent skills everywhere else.

Tactical Logistics Reconfiguration is an Int/Mem skill. Have that to 5 first for T2 triage. Having capital cap emissions and capital remote armor to 5 is extremely useful on a triage carrier IMO

i'm just going to ignore the revelation, all that needs is siege 5 and capital repair systems 4

carrier depends on what type you fly

triage carrier? : all skills at 4 > tactical logistics reconfig 5 > capital remote armor reps 5 > capital repair systems 5 >capital capacitor emissions can be left at 4, you won't be using more then 1 at a time anyway and only pulsing it every now and then to cap up a battleship or something


slowcat variety: all skills at 4 > capital capacitor emissions 5 > capital remote armor reps 5 > rest to 5 in no particular order

Have you already trained the racial carrier skill on level 5?
