A while back CCP changed the prerequisites for capital ships to not require a whole slew of skills to be trained to 5 (instead, trained to 4). Millions of skillpoints, now "useless." Now they're revamping capitals, even more points "useless."

You're trying to create a "perfect" character, and you should try to avoid that kind of thinking. I'm going to log in tonight and place a bounty on your head, to "ruin" your perfect character, not because I'm mean, but because it's better to be ruined now than 6 months in when you already have some 10 million skillpoints. You can lose the perfection for any number of mistakes, pressing the wrong button in high-sec, annoying the wrong person, joining the wrong corp, doing the wrong scam... Something's going to happen, and if you're complaining about a couple skills and a couple thousand skillpoints, this game may not be for you.

It is if you never use that type of turret.

Eve is not a min / max game. There is no structured balanced combat in this game. The kind of fine tuning of a character that you seem to be indicating here has no place in Eve. No one in this game is "all level 5" and the eveiseasy youtube channel proves that you can be successful at solo PvP on a days old character if you know what you are doing.

So just relax, skill some stuff up, and play around with the game and have some fun. Also if you play this game for years and never use small hybrid turrets then you are playing the game wrong. Let go of your OCD and embrace: options, balance and the middle road.

Had I known that Memphis was going to post a reply this perfect I could have saved myself a lot of typing by just thumb's upping this one post.
