CCP,

Why not make the % bonus equal to the rank of the skill, adjusting build times to match? I would not have spent half a month training a skill for a paltry 1% bonus over someone with level 4 in an over-saturated market anyway (there's not THAT much volume with HICs and Command Ships). However a 5% bonus is respectable, especially since with the upgraded build times it would mean much more absolute time saved.

Also think of Capital ships. I can now build a Titan with level 1 in Capital Ship Construction without every learning battleship construction, all I need is Industry V and Advanced Industry V. At least with a 14% reduction per skill level (sounds high, but we have skills that give 20% per level and the build times would be higher initially) this could amount to a lot of time (days) at level V, since they have waited one and a half months to train the skill anyway.

5% per level would be acceptable to me, like you say 1% just doesn't cut it given the rank of the skill. Either that or CCP could go with my proposal in the last page.

I think at least when building sleeper technology, then level V in the respective skill should be required. IE level 1 for every ship, but then sleeper technology, due to the fact it is highly advanced and not just any newbie can construct it from the get go, should require level V. So small V for the new tactical destroyers, med V for strategic cruisers, and then eventually large V when we get a sleeper tech battleship.

It really irks me that such a low requirement is needed now to construct such advanced technology.

You aren't pioneering anything, I mean ddi you post that with a gui or did you actually pass the strings through a http stack with the encoding for CCP forum servers to parse as in the days of Arpanet?

Congrats, my point is proven. You don't need to be an expert once some one spends a couple of times working out an easy method How To book
This is just part of the EVE verse growing up, things get easier.

*but its unfair if someone gets more profit out of something because they trained 5x skills to lvl 5*

Soooo, why don't we just apply this to ships as well....make all ships (and modules) available to all players with next to no skill training. That seems it would be the fairest way to do Eve afterall. CCP seems to believe that high SP veterans should not have any advantages over new players.

And no, those previous "must have lvl 5" skills like the efficiency one were actually NOT *must have*, I made plenty of profit on my non-indy characters that only had lvl 3 or 4 of that skill. The only reason i eventually trained it was to make the batch-jobs materials easier to calculate between using all my characters.

thx for this "great patch"
new datacores - graviton physics needed . thx
where to get this? market is empty. thx
collected over month datacores, and now there are useless. thx
oh you buy my interfaces to avarge market price - the biggest joke. thx
and i ned new 10mio sklil for graviton crap. thx

thx for nothing :(

I actually really like Phoebe ... but I really do want to know why Graviton Physics was made required for drones, when ... reality, mechanical + electronic engineering, srsly

OK, I'm late to comment, but I have a couple questions:

-Overdrive injector systems are 'propulsion upgrades' but did not have their required invention skill/DC changed to Rocket science as it indicated in the Devblog. Error or unannounced late change (e: or do I need my eyes checked)? (I think there are some other cases of this, but CBA to check)

-Making a Stiletto (as an example) uses one science skill for the invention and a different on for the build, why? Or why not do it for the other cases?

These are niggling little things, but they seem 'odd' to me.

In other news I have some Rocket Science DCs to sell cheap, PM me!
