markol	Posted - 2004.09.28 19:48:00 - [1] Does anyone else think that the training time for these skills is absolutely absurd? I am still aiming for the gelante assault cruisers, and started to train the pre-reqs for them yesterday. I consider myself on average in terms of ship operations skills compared to all other current BS drivers. Ship operations: current 4, need 6.5 days to lvl 5. Mechanic: current 4, need 6.5 days to lvl 5. Engineering: Most already have this at 5. Need 0 days. Weapon upgrades: currently 4, need ??? to lvl 5. Assault ships: current 0, need ?? to lvl 4. Cruiser: current 4, need 33 F'ing days to lvl 5. Heavy assault skill: 1 day? So basically, for me to start training for assault cruisers will take 1.5 months. This also means that I get no added benefit in the mean time. THere are no bonuses for the little skills that I can use. WTF am I going to do with assault ships 1-3? What about mecahnic 5? worthless! CCP, please decrease the training times a bit. Please!

Veneth	Posted - 2004.09.28 20:01:00 - [3] Edited by: Veneth on 28/09/2004 20:05:36 Mechanic 5 is a nice skill to have. anythign that prolongs your ships life. as well as needed by certain research fields 33 days isn't to bad once you've played eve for as long as I have. yeah it is long but ya live with it. WHy should you be able to fly cutting edge techno in only a few days time? Assault ship 4 btw is nice. the Optimal range is handy to have.

markol	Posted - 2004.09.28 20:11:00 - [5] Does every ship benefit from assault ships skill? Or only the assault ships? If so, I retract my statement about these being worhtless from the incrimental perspective, at least as far as that skill goes. Mechanic 5 is worthless. You get to use armor rep II after 4. lvl 5 gives you extra to the hull, but who cares? If the extra 5% hull will save your ass, you should be dead regardless. If you start losing hull, chances are you are dead. I have been playing for 6 months now. I don't consider myself very old, but I am older than a lot, maybe even most at this point? I know there are people who have played for more than a year, but this is stial a farking long time to train.

Trevedian	Posted - 2004.09.29 00:25:00 - [7] Just the assault hips benefit from the assault ship skill I believe... But in answer to your question about the training time being excessive, I agree. Unless boosters vastly improve training time, logistics ships, assault cruisers etc require a prodigious investment in skill training to use. BTW who else thinks CCP is lazy for just changing the values and adding skins to the same ships? It took forever for them to make a Black Maller, WTF? Sex0r > you're bounty turns me on.. you seem like the kind of amarrian to dominate me

CCP, please decrease the training times a bit. Please! its not that long, really. if you want to train for assault ships, then do it. ive already trained large energy to 5, and that took a month. now with the advanced learning skills, it would take less time, so thats cool. mechanic 5 isnt worthless btw, it benefits all ships. that 5% more hull might just mean the difference between you in a pod, and you in a ship.

Soren	Posted - 2004.09.29 05:22:00 - [11] Ship operations lvl 5 -check Mechanic lvl 5 - check Engineering lvl 5 - check Weapon upgrades lvl 5 - check Assault ships lvl 4 - no more then 3 days i'm guessing. Cruiser lvl 5 - 21 days (and going down with adv learning) Heavy assault skill lvl 1 - 2 hours? I don't consider myself a character with-in the high region of skills, I am doing well, and it will only take me ~ 25 days tops to be proficient in flying these new ships which I won't be able to afford for much longer anyways. Nothing wrong here, move along. _________________________________________________________

Nieda	Posted - 2004.09.29 09:03:00 - [17] And when you are ready, you just need to wait for a bpo to come out and empty your wallet, because the first elite cruisers will cost like a tier 1 BS. --------------------------------------------- 2004.08.12 14:50:32combatYour 720mm Carbine Howitzer I perfectly strikes Guristas Destructor, wrecking for 543.9 damage.

Sure a 4m sp char wont have them yet. But if you are focused on shooting stuff you should have those skills at 5 by the time you reach 10m sp orso. -------- -The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs

Heavy assault skill lvl 1 - I don't care. I trained the other skills because they're valuable in their own right. \| Join eve-webring.com to promote your site.

markol	Posted - 2004.09.29 15:28:00 - [27] You are saying that having cruiser 5 is valuable in its own right? Well I do agree that it has a nice bonus of 5% to whatever it is you are driving. Maybe 20% mining yield form an osprey? Yeha that helps, but is that worth spending a month training? A month is way too long. It's a rather significant amount of time that the game was on the market for crying out loud.
