I think most who have the foresight to train BC and dessy V + prereqs will also know to update their clones if the extra SP puts them above their current model. EVEMon for one lets you know if your clone is insufficient. Support showing T2 and faction frequency crystal damage in the info window. |

-Amarr/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar Destroyer V -Ammar/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar Battlecruiser V
Quite a few million SP for free, as you get three Rank 2 skills to V (around 1.5m SP) and three Rank 6 skills to V (around 4.5 m SP). So, IN THEORY, you could be getting up to six million SP just like that. You cannot redistribute them afterwards, but still a sweet (and fair) deal
Even though I qualify I can't see CCP giving us all 4 BC and Destroyer skills sets to V. Its too big a free gift.
So, if you train BC V, Destroyers V, all frigates to IV and all cruisers to III, what you could get:
All Destroyers to IV and a skill point gift of 421,490 to build up one Racial Destroyer to V All Cruisers to IV (the new pre-requiste for the racial BC skill All BC to IV and a skill point gift of 1,264,470 to build up one racial BC to V
Only people who can fly more than one racial type of Interdictor or Command Ship will get the skills to V
My 2 isk on the subject, it will interesting to see what they do. |

I already did this when I started. No need to update my clone.

True. Would be a bit too easy to get all command ships trained. I started to get excited. |

I doubt CCP does this. I agree that up to 6m SP sounds quite a lot, but please remember that these are skill points WHICH HAVE NO EXTRA USE. I mean, they are given to you for you to fly ships YOU CAN CURRENTLY FLY.
So, it's not really "a gift". It's, merely, leaving your character able to fly as many ships as today.
If your suggestions/guesses were implemented, it would be terribly UNFAIR.
For instance: I can fly a Naga, Talos, Oracle and Tornado with a Lvl V of skill competency. If they DO NOT give me all four racial BCs to five, CCP would force me to train 3 rank 6 skills to level V. Which means what, two months?
CCP should not set me back two months. It's only fair that I will be able to fly the same ships before and after the patch.
And as I said, those 6 million SP would give me ZERO advantages. There's nothing new I will be flying, absolutely nothing else I'll be able to do that I cannot do now.
There are only two reasons for me to train for this:
1)Cosmetic changes. 6m SP more is better than 6m SP less. 2)Eventually I'll fly all subcapitals in the game. If I don't train this now, I'll have to waste months later.
If, post patch, I lose the ability to fly any Battlecruiser in the game with level V, I'll be seriously pissed off. |

The most recent dev post in the primary thread (page 101?) indicates that this is going to be a long term process. No major skill tree changes in this weeks patch, all changes will be posted ahead of time, Frigates will be revamped first to try to find problems with the new system early.
You have plenty of time to get your destroyer/battle cruiser skills up, in case they do implement a variation on bonus skill points. |

I think it was also said, that it doesn't make much sense to have racial ship trees for destroyers, since in the new system the skill would only allows you to fly one ship. So it's very likely, that we will get new ships in the destoyer class for all races around the time or soon after these changes are finally implemented. It's just another reason to train the skills up before the change happens, since the new potential destroyers might be very attractive ships to fly even if you don't care for the current ones. |

Finished Battlecruisers 5 this morning Did Destroyers 5 just before that.
Working on Warfare Link Specialist 4 for Command Ships now.
I already have all races with Frigate 4 + Cruiser 4 + Battleship 4, with Caldari all to 5. I'm leaning towards Amarr 5 next (or maybe Minmatar 5), but I'd really like to get gunnery skills up a bit first.
I have an alt currently training for a jumpfreighter in case that gets raised to racial freighter 5 (already has racial freighter 4).

My logic was fine I will train every T1 ship...
So if racial BC@some level is a prereq for racial BS in new model why would you not just train all the racial BS skills? (What I did). This means you get all BC skills at the level required to get the corresponding racial BS which looks to be BC IV using current models.
Unless CCP lied about letting us keep the ability to fly any ship we can fly now. |

If you have all racial cruiser III and BC V, then you'll have all racial BC V. Cruiser IV will be needed to inject the racial BC skill, but it won't be needed to fly BCs themselves.

I've had BC V for years, Destroyer V for nearly as long. Not to mention all 4 Cruisers to V.
None of this was done for free SP, but because I wanted to be a well rounded sub-cap pilot. |

Not only trying to revamp everything for Inferno would require a massive commitment, but even if it was possible, doing so in one move would be quite risky as ship balancing is a delicate process. That means we will proceed slowly, one step at a time, starting with the ship classes that need the most love (most likely tech 1 frigates and destroyers), then moving our way up.

Now, training for an Absolution requires you to train for Amarr Frigate 4, Amarr Destroyer 4, Amarr Cruiser 4 and Amarr Battlecruiser at 5. There is no more need for the Amarr Cruiser 5 and Heavy Assault Ship at 4. ... FOR THE STATE! |

If you have the BS skill trained already you won't need any BC skill to fly it. Similar to having Carrier trained and getting podded and losing BS V... you can still fly the Carrier.

I had BC5 before the announcement, happily, because that is the important one. Destroyer5 is good too, but much less important than BC5 because it only takes about 1 week to train each racial to 5 vs 1 month for each racial for Battlecruiser5.

I have dessie and BC to 5 on most of the chars that will be flying them, so its not such a problem for me.
The one problem i have is that the new alt I made (which i made specifically to be a command ship pilot) may now have 3 months added to the dam training plan.
First of all, I trained all the leadership skills (all combat leadership to 5, except fleet command to 4), then I started training on the ship skills.
After I started training the ship skills, then they brought out the dev blog stating these changes and it now looks like I wont get BC5 before the patch.
If I have to train all individual race BC's to 5 that is gonna make me an unhappy bunny :(

Is there any word of what would happen if you were in the middle of training BC or dessy when the changes happen?
for example if you were 50% of the way through battlecruiser V. would you have all 4 racial skills at 50% of the way to the next level (provided you had the relevant prerequisites) or would they be at 0% progress?
this is the situation i'll find myself in and i was wondering if it was worth putting battlecruisers V in to my training plan or not. |

The best things that could happen is that either you get refunded those points, or you are given your racial BC "half trained".
In either case, you would lose on any potential bonus they're handing over, so I'd train it ASAP if I were you. BC V is one of the skills that makes me the happiest, currently. Incredibly useful. |

this is the issue; i either train it to level V, and sacrifice the prerequisites for three races, or sacrifice battlecruiser V. i'm mostly a miner so i think sacrificing rank V is a lesser evil than 3 other races to battlecruiser IV. time is against me :( |

I am afraid I don't understand.
In order to FULLY and ABSOLUTELY ensure that you will receive all racial Battlecruisers V and all racial Destroyers V, you need:
-All Frigate skills to IV. -All Cruiser skills to III. -Battlecruisers V. -Destroyers V.
Before the patch hits, you have PLENTY of time to train all this from ZERO, even if you started today (I think).
Frigates to IV and Cruisers to III takes less than a week in total, even if you don't have ANY Frigate trained to IV already (which is pretty stupid). Cruisers to III takes around 3 days in total, even with low skills, if I'm not mistaken. Destroyers V takes 8 days or so from zero to V. Battlecruisers V takes 15 to 20 days depending on your skills.
I don't know when Inferno fully hits, but they've said that they want to revamp the ship lines before the skills changes. You HAVE time, more than enough. But don't delay it if you can.
I would have liked to be training Large Blaster specialization or maxing Gallente subsystems, but in 2 days I finish Destroyers V and I can get on with my EvE life, forgetting about all this until Inferno hits and I still find myself ABLE to fly all the ships I can fly today. |

Release date for Inferno is May 22nd. So there is still time to train these. And like said before they're rebalancing ships before they make this skill change. Even if they start May 22nd it's going to be T1 frigates and cruisers. After those are done they move to larger ships. This rebalancing process will take some time. It's not going to happen in few days. |

Latest info is that they are not going to remove current destroyer/battlecruiser skills before they have done with rebalancing. We don't know when they start rebalancing ships. They do T1 frigates and cruisers before T1 destroyers and battlecuisers. |

But that's what I meant. Inferno hits in 27 days, but as far as I know, these changes to BC and Destroyer skills will NOT BE IMPLEMENTED BY THEN.
CCP claimed they wanted to review the ship lines first, possibly introducing new Destroyer hulls. ONLY after they've revisited and redesigned the ships themselves, the changes to skills will be implemented.
So no, you don't JUST have 27 days. You probably have months.
