lemme get this straight....... (I know this is still in the works but I'll treat this as what is in the devblog is going live right now)
1) I spent ~30 days training Battlecruiser 5 (thats $15-17 dollars btw). Now you want to split it up and make me train 4 seperate battlecruiser skills to fly ships I can already fly? The only way this is acceptable is if I get every sp reimbursed and the 4 racial battlecruiser skills take up NO MORE sp than the vanilla battlecruiser skill.
2) I think I've heard my fill of bitching about the proliferation of capitals, super and normal, in this game enough to think that the idea of reducing said requirement of racial battleship 5 from level 5 to 4 would imply the person behind that idea is either insane, or has a number of bot accounts needing capitals.
just checking to make sure i heard things right.... |

Yeah, and on the Minmatar one they got the Scimitar and Rapier mixed up. Warp drive failure indicator: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=887805#post887805 |

If this means I have to add more training to get into ships I have already put a great deal of effort into training into, I would personally be supremely PO'd and I doubt I would be alone. Any plan that makes it harder to get into subcapital ships and easier to get into capitals & supercapitals IS A BAD PLAN. The biggest problem with the game is how it's becoming Supercaps Online and you want to increase that?
Have you been sniffing lava again? Last time you did that you came up with space pants. JUST SAY NO TO LAVA. And leave the racial BS V requirement for capitals. This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.
Someday, this signature may save my life. |

A little extra? you're looking at atleast 8 times more. We'll sit down and have a chat about it, but what we're looking to do is create a solid ship scheme, not take things away from people. You'll be reimbursed properly.
People need to stop freaking about the skill change and just read this. The devs realize how many skill points this could set people back, and should be able to reimburse properly. I'm sure there's someone on the team who's good enough at some math to figure out an algorithm to get everyone set straight on skills. Plus like they said nothing is set in stone.

Also, my carrier pilot alt has Amarr and Caldari BS 5 for NO other reason that to fly the Archon and Chimera, if the requirements go down to 4 will I get 4-5 SP reimbursed? |

Is it possible to instead of refunding the SP, just give the skills instead? Because if you can do so, here is what I would do:
- If a player has Racial Frigate III and Destroyers X - give player Recial Destroyer X for every race they have Racial Frigate III in
- Ditto for Battlecruisers
I could support this. |

Changing skill requirements, Yes. Being able to train for, for instance, recons without having to train for covert ops first. That I can agree with.
Changing skill progression, NO. One of the appealing aspects of training for ships was that once I'd trained racial frigate and destroyers, I'd get access to ANOTHER race worth of destroyers, for free, once I trained up the racial frigate.
With these changes, you'll raise the bar for crosstraining further, to a point where it is even more daunting for new players to crosstrain, and makes it even more difficult for them to find useful roles.
Take a new PVPer, for instance. By training caldari and minmatar frigate, caldari and minmatar cruiser, plus battlecruiser, the player would have access to tackling frigates, t1 cruisers including ospreys, blackbirds, stabbers and ruptures, as well as two excellent and newbie friendly battlecruiser hulls, namely hurricanes and drakes. All this from a total of five skills.
With the changes, the same new player would now be forced to train eight skills, raising the bar for skilltraining by 75% and making it more difficult to find useful roles. The incentive to crosstrain would be largely eliminated, as it'd take almost as long to train for a single race's battlecruisers as two races under the current scheme.
Ship tiers: If ship tiers force you into balancing issues, you're looking at the problem in a completely wrong way. The ship tiers should not limit your balancing efforts. Don't make the mistake in thinking that a higher tier "must be better". That's not necessarily so. If anything, tiers should serve as a guideline for the general roles a certain group of ships have, for instance that all ships within a tier are designed as high DPS active tanking platforms, another tier being medium DPS buffer platforms etc, but not that they should be "better" than the previous tier. |

I do not like this change. I have recently trained my PVP toon to have BC5. I have trained almost all T2 medium guns so I could switch between race BC easily, hell, I even trained for T2 torps for use on the naga. This will now mean I will have to train each race to BC5... madness. I think those who already have this skill to 5 should be given all race BC to 5 and CCP can doesn't then have to reimburse SP... and everyone is happy. Currently training across the board T2 large guns so I can T2 fit and use all the Tiers 3's.. this change is going to mess that all up. |

While changes of this scope will always be controversial, and may involve a bit of inconvenience, the fact that CCP is tackling such issues illustrates how much focus and love FiS is getting.
We all can (and should) argue about the best way to refresh various areas of the game, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that CCP is putting a ton of effort into refreshing the game!

I can understand where you come from, trying to get Destroyers and Battlecruisers to racial Variants.
BUT: I always thought them not to be "stepping stones" but intermediate classes. Which made totally sense having the skills not racial.
i.e "You know how to fly X Races Cruisers well, the Batlecruisers rely on the same technology and modules but you need to learn how to control larger ships thats why you need Battlecruiser skill as well"
I think it is not at all necessary to make the Battlecruiser skill racial! Having to Train BCs to IV until one can get into a BS or Destroyers to IV till you can get into a Cruiser will slow down alot of newbies trying to get into useful roles above "Tackler" in any fleet.
Blackbird for example was an easy to train for ship, it will be prolonged for about a week now (doesn't sound much, but if you are a newbie that is quite some time!) Especially as it stands today that Destroyers are very rarely used and considered "useless" by alot of people.
Please think it over, I do NOT think the skill line should be changed.
IF you disaggree and really want to change that, I am strongly for a Reimbursement Plan that will not make Crosstrainers like me train 3 additional Rank 6 Skills to V (2-3 Months?) to be able to fly all the ships again that I can now ;) I go with Liang here: If you have BC X give them Racial BC X*4 as reimbursement!
Unless you want to macke the Racial BC/Racial Destroyer skills all Rank 1 so the SP are enough to get them to the past level.

So nobody in the game can fly command ships for the next month. I propose we go with Soundwave's promise not to take things away from us.

Very much in favor of these proposed changes.
Could you fix the link to the Gallente ship tree ... seems to be the only one with a broken link.
Or is this just another slight aimed at the Gallente? lol |

How about reimbursing us for our battlecruisers and destroyers skills, and then making the racial skills a sufficiently low rank that 'Battlecruisers 5' gets us Amarr Battlecruiser, Minmatar Battlecruiser, Caldari Battlecruiser, and Gallente Battlecruiser all at 5?
Battlecruisers is a rank 6 skill, could make the new racial bruisers skills rank 1? It somewhat fits with lore too, the point is a prophecy requires mostly the same skills a maller does, it's just a little bit bigger. Why shouldn't the bruiser skill be a much lower rank?
Destroyers could only drop to rank 1, but as it requires frigate which is rank 2 they're still not ludicrously simple to get into?
For what it's worth, I've wanted the tier system to die in a fire for YEARS now, great change, looking forward to it! |

Ahahahahahaha tears.
Folks, you don't deserve free SP because the game is changing. If they are going to reimburse enough that you get all four skills worth of SP when Inferno releases... every intelligent person should be training up additional Battlecruiser and Destroyer skills right now, so it'll multiply later. |

Everyone just needs to take a deep breath and stop panicking. We have already been told that a proper reimbursement plan will be put in place and I have no doubt that this will be brought up with CSM8..
CCP keep up the good work though. Really liking what you are doing to the game so far. |

Ytterbium, please insert thumbnails into the news article and only link to the huge images.
I like the changes, but something confuses me: In this image the T2 specialization ship skills only require their underlying T1 ship class (AF requires frigate, HAC requires cruiser ...), but when I look at new Amarr ship tree there seem to be requirements between Assault Ships and Heavy Assault Ships.
So my question is now: Which of both is true? I hope that the Amarr ship tree is just older than the changed skill tree and not reflecting the removed requirements. Because, as mentioned in the dev blog, T2 ships are specializing, so there should be no requirements between AF and HAC, or HAC and Command ship.
Oh, and because I can't resist: Y U REMOVE TEARS? (removal of tiers is fine though) I'm on Twitter. |

Racial skills are the single most boring part of the skillpoint system in EVE, introducing even more of them by simply splitting one skill into four makes no sense whatsoever, you should be going the exactly opposite direction. If you want to introduce new skills then that's fine, but at least make them somewhat unique instead of being generic version of a single skill. |
