Is there any reason for this skill to exist ? I'm looking into capitals and I've noticed that anything that requires advanced spaceship command requires it to level 5 , the first 4 levels are completely useless. It kind of strikes me as odd as every other skill in the game are beneficial to you even at level 1 , advanced spaceship command on the other hand gives you an agility boost for all the ships that require it per level , but only capital ships require it so you MUST have it to level 5 to use the ship anyway. Did i miss anything that can actually use the first 4 levels of this skills ? Bad posts are not welcome on these forums.-á -CCP Falcon

Freighters used to benefit from this skill--marginally. When they were rebalanced, I think this skill was removed.
Now this skill is basically a time sink to delay people from getting into capital ships more quickly. |

It's basically a redundant Capital Ships book. And odd that it is an agility skill, but not in the Navigation sub-set.
I think everyone views it as a time sync, which imo, makes it a bad/useless skill. Who wants to pay a months sub for a time sync? A good candidate for SP REIMURSEMENT !!! |

It's a month to think about whether or not you should actually fly capital ships. If you can't handle a 1 month investment, you have no business flying anything that large and expensive. |

It's not an "investment" into anything. It adds zero value to your piloting skills, or your other current skills. If you were a crappy Cap pilot the day you inject this skill, you will still be a crappy Cap pilot the day it finishes. |

Working as intended. The whole skill system is designed to be a useless time sink. Keeps people subscribed. |

Nope, freighters benefit from it but freighters also require it at 5.

Did i miss anything that can actually use the first 4 levels of this skills ? It used to be different before ship rebalancing, with freighters requiring it at level 1 only. That said, freighters profit from the agility so every dedicated freighter pilot wants it at level 5 anyway.
When CCP set out to rebalance industrials and battleships and the skills that they needed, they reduced some of the skill prerequisites. You used to need racial industrial at 5 for freighters or racial battleship 5 for capitals. This is down to level 3 for both now, to be inline with the rest of the ship skill progression.
To partly compensate for the training time reduction, Advanced Spaceship Command went up to level 5 as a requirement to insert the capital and freighter skills.
It makes this skill look less desireable now, but changing it would mean having to add the training time somewhere else. Remove insurance. |

If something requires a skill at 5 then its base stats are made with that in mind. Everyone using something that requires 5 will obviously have that skill at 5, so you will have no benefit over anyone else using that thing. There is no benefit to anything when its requirement is 5.
The skill tree could be redone so that nothing had a requirement higher than level 4, except when that thing requires an entirely new skill such as ships and weapons. This would give you a reason to train level 5 to get an edge over someone else and benefit. DUST 514 Recruit Code - https://dust514.com/recruit/zluCyb/

Everyone using something that requires 5 will obviously have that skill at 5, so you will have no benefit over anyone else using that thing. There is no benefit to anything when its requirement is 5. Except that there are going to be plenty of pilots leftover from before the requirements changed that can fly freighters without having it at level 5. Those pilots still benefit from training it up to 5 if they choose, as it gives them the agility bonus. |

The question is not wether to handle one month training or not into capital ships.
The question is why do we not benefit from it from lvl 1 to 5 as we do with all other skills.

its basicaly there so you cannot train into a capital in a short amount of damage.
Which is perfect. |

Which is perfect. Perfect would be that you benefit from it from level 1 to level 5 and not starting to get all benefits from all 5 levels after fully trained.
Imagine if every single skill worked that way.
Jump clones - have to train the skill to 5 before you can start install them / use it. Mining - have train the skill to 5 before you can get all % out of it. [insert your own examples here]

On the skill tree it showsAdvanced Starship Command: [list] lvl 1 - racial freighters lvl 4 - t2 jump freighters lvl 5 freighter skills again... along with larger capitals This doesn't seem to fit the progression of improved skill over the levels. The freighter is the first capital most pilots fly, why not start at level 1? If you can afford the boat and fly it horribly, makes it worth training to higher levels.... Or if its a capital and you have to have this to level 5 then why doesn't the freighter require the capital ship skill?
I agree with others above, this really seems like a wasted skill in the tree. You cannot fly anything that requires it until level 5 so where is the competitive advantage, the tease after flying a slow boat very slow?
Now i have another 25 days of training after accidently training the racial industrial to 5. |

How did you accidently train something? You right clicked the wrong skill by accident?
If it's taking you 25 days to train ASC to 5 something is wrong. Are you mapped Intelligence and Memory trying to train off attributes? Also plug in some learning implants. If you can only afford the two +3 ones for perception and willpower then you should be training faster.
BTW I agree that it is kind of silly to have a skill that must be trained to 5 for anything it affects. |

I think the main idea behind this skill is like learn to walk before you run.
Like you need to have Frigate, Destroyer and Cruiser levels to at least 3 before you can train Battlecruiser.
However it does say: The advanced operation of spaceships. Grants a 5% Bonus per skill level to the agility of ships requiring
So we do get something out of it... Two possibilities exists: Either we are alone in the universe-áor we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

You don't get anything out of it if everyone who flies the ship has it at level 5 , since everyone will already have the 25% agility bonus. This skill is just a time sink and i think it should be reworked or removed.
