Why is it a requirement to have a completely unrelated skill like Leadership V to be able to access 10/10 ded sites? I can understand limiting the types of ships that have access to a specific ded site but a skill? Specifically a skill that has no relation to someone's ability to do damage, or support is completely asinine.

I probed it out and organized a group to get this site done, but I was unable to actually participate because of the fact that I did not have Leadership to 5.

It's a hold over from when 0.0 DED sites were all static beacons in space. The skill requirement was there to keep high end DEDs from being farmed by lower skill point alts. Before the skill requirement people would just make alts that could go into the sites to reset them then players would farm them mercilessly. When CCP moved the DED sites (from 3/10 up to 10/10) away from static plexes and into the exploration system where they have to be scanned down, they should have removed the skill requirements. They didn't.

CCP hasn't done much to update DED sites in like 5 or 6 years (when they nerfed the hell out of the Overseers Effects, it used to be where you'd get a sure fire 500 mil from an Angel 10/10 from OPEs but now instead of 5 OPEs you only get 2 plus whatever Deadspace loot that may or may not drop).

If it's leadership 5 you must have the Sansha 10/10 (Centus Assembly). Want to know whats even more insane? The Blood Raider 10/10 (Blood Raider Naval Shipyard) doesn't require Leadership 5, it requires you to have WARP DRIVE OPERATION 5 lol. I didn't know that the 1st time I did the Blood Raider DED so I went in in my Abaddon and when I called for my buddy to come in in his Logi ship, he couldn't. I died lol.

Since I actually don't have Warp Drive Operation V this is good to know. Does anyone know what skills are needed for the 10/10 sites from the other pirate factions?

As far as I am aware, all high end DED complexes require the same skill set to access.
