does this mean we won't have to train it, or that we'll be given the skill at the relevant rank (presumably rank IV as a prerequisite for mining barges)? |

I imagine we'll be given the skill. It wouldn't make sense to 'not need it'. Naughty by nature, wicked by choice.-á |

i assumed as much, but they worded it differently to their explanation to the dessy/bc change so i figured i'd ask. |

I imagine we'll be given the skill. It wouldn't make sense to 'not need it'. Actually, I'm fairly certain CCP would NEVER hand out SP for free, unless they gave it to everyone, equally. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense that you wouldn't need the skill.
On your prerequisites list for a mining barge, you'd see that it requires you have a particular level of the mining barges skill, and under that would be the prerequisites to learn mining barge. You have to meet those lower requirements to train mining barges skill, but not to fly a mining barge. Say, you lose the skill later somehow, it's okay, you don't need it to fly the barge. But you'll have to train it up at some point to be able to train the barge skill higher.
Now the exhumers skill will rely on the barges skill and not the ORE frigate skill. So if your barges skill is high enough, you won't need the ORE frigate skill to train enxumers. -á"The Mittani: Hated By Badposters i'm strangely comfortable with it" -Mittens |

No, you won't be given it.
The only time prerequisites for a skill matter, are when you inject it. Not when you train it, or use it.
A Heavy Assault ship doesn't need you to know Assault ships to sit in it. Just to inject the skill.
Now, there aren't many situations where this can arise, but it's the way it works. FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator, invention chance calculator, isk/m3 Ore chart-á and other 'useful' utilities. |

This. It will just be another skill to train, but you'll only have to train it if you want to fly the frigate in the first place. |

So, you try to say that I can fly Vargur if I have Marauders trained but only have Minmatar Battleship 4? What? |

I'm not saying that.
The Vargur has a requirement of Minmatar Battleship 5, /and/ Marauders 1. (as you can learn Marauders, without leaning Minmatar battleship 5)
But you /could/ fly it if you didn't have, say, Minmatar Cruiser 4. (for some reason)
When the changes come for Battlecruisers and Destroyers, you'd be able to fly it without Minmatar Battlecruiser 4.
It's only the top skill within each of the prerequisites that's actually checked. FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator, invention chance calculator, isk/m3 Ore chart-á and other 'useful' utilities. |

Last time CCP discussed this sort of thing for racial battle cruiser skill they said they were going to give you skills in all racial BC skills that you had the cruiser skills for. I can total see them giving out Ore Frigate 4 to anyone who can fly the more advanced ships. After all we are talking 3-4 days worth of skill points here at most to get to level 4. They've handed out skills and skill points before.

They don't need to hand out SP on this one. A skill nested in the skill tree required for some ship is not actually required to fly the ship.
e.g. You don't need caldari frigate IV to fly a Caracal. You do need Caldari cruiser and that get that, you'll need Caldari frig but if you got Caldari cruiser some other way, that's fine aswell. |

No, but you can fly a Carrier if you have Racial Carriers 1, and only BS 4. You can field FBs if you have FBs 1, and only Fighters 4.
These things happen due to the way SP loss works. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody. |

Just as a hint, the real reason for the whole tree not mattering, only the top level? It's a /hell/ of a lot simpler to code, rather than checking the entire tree every time FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator, invention chance calculator, isk/m3 Ore chart-á and other 'useful' utilities. |

It means you don't have to get it; you don't have to train it; and you won't be given it.
It might be needed if you want to increase your barge skill, but they haven't been all that clear about it and I can't recall ever seeing anyone having tested it.
It is a prerequisite for training the barge skill, but you don't need the frigate skill itself to fly any of the barges. Since you will keep your barge skill, you will be able to keep flying the barges at the same level as before. It's that GÇ£required to trainGÇ¥ bit that causes some confusion and raises the question if you need to get the frigate skill before you can train barges from IV to V, shouldn't you have done so already before the skills are revamped. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

I've never seen someone being locked out from training a skill already injected. All the prereqs have to be is present when the skill is injected.
In theory, you could get a Titan V character with no more than 900k other SP. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody. |
