Stu Pendisdick Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2010.03.22 14:38:00 - [1] Is there a single, most useless skill in the game? One that, if nobody evr trained it at all, nobody would ever even notice? There's like 40 years worth of skills to train in this game. The really important ones seem obvious. Not so the completely useless ones.
Tripoli XenTech	Posted - 2010.03.22 14:54:00 - [2] Salvage Drone Operation, Mobile Factory Operation, Mobile Refinery Operation, Mnemonics, Black Market Trading, and Genetic Engineering come to mind. They are 100% useless, for now. --- All 392 skills trained.
Stu Pendisdick Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2010.03.22 14:56:00 - [3] I need to clarify. I speak of skills currently available from NPC agents in the game.

They are 100% useless, for now. Add Astronautic Engineering to that list.
SurrenderMonkey	Posted - 2010.03.22 17:00:00 - [5] Survey is pretty useless. I went and trained it to 5 back when you needed it for probing. Booster skills aren't of much use to most people. Cosmos science skills, maybe. --------------- Faction-Militia:Player-Alliance::Newbie-corp:Player-corp
Altheros State War Academy	Posted - 2010.03.23 03:37:00 - [6] Originally by: SurrenderMonkey Survey is pretty useless. I went and trained it to 5 back when you needed it for probing. Booster skills aren't of much use to most people. Cosmos science skills, maybe. Survey is useless, but is required for Salvaging. Don't see why...but eh, oh well. ----- EVEBoard
Estel Arador Minmatar Estel Arador Corp Services	Posted - 2010.03.23 09:27:00 - [7] Tactical Shield Manipulation (someone had to say it) Free jumpclone service\|924 stations - 6000+ users
Metolz	Posted - 2010.03.23 09:42:00 - [8] Originally by: Estel Arador Tactical Shield Manipulation (someone had to say it) Well i'd take the trained skill if someone was giving it for free, i wouldn't say it's useless but i'd say it is useless for the amount of time it takes. Or are you one of those.. non believers
Doro di'Massen	Posted - 2010.03.23 10:13:00 - [9] Originally by: Estel Arador Tactical Shield Manipulation (someone had to say it) invulnerability fields are quite nice, tho
Ravenal The Fated E.Y	Posted - 2010.03.23 13:43:00 - [10] A cursed ncoring That's Anchoring. Uselessest damned skill in the game only performing as a prereq barrier. imo all prereq barriers should also provide bonuses! .

Uselessest damned skill in the game only performing as a prereq barrier. imo all prereq barriers should also provide bonuses! Well it is nice for anchoring POS structures as well
Jainia Soltella	Posted - 2010.03.23 19:55:00 - [12] Defender Missiles Actually worse than useless because it seems like a good idea to newbies until they find out first-hand that it just doesn't work.
Ravenal The Fated E.Y	Posted - 2010.03.23 20:14:00 - [13] Originally by: Mashie Saldana Originally by: Ravenal A cursed ncoring Well it is nice for anchoring POS structures as well It's a prereq to anchor pos structures. The skill in itself doesn't do anything for anchoring pos structures once you have it at the appropriate level. Much like frigate/cruiser/battleship construction and them like ... they fall into the same category as anchoring. Annoying and useless skills, good for being a time barrier only (leech subscription time) .
ShoreTay	Posted - 2010.03.23 21:18:00 - [14] To my knowledge neither Battleship Construction V or Industrial Construction V serve any purpose.
Ravenal The Fated E.Y	Posted - 2010.03.24 01:44:00 - [15] Originally by: ShoreTay To my knowledge neither Battleship Construction V or Industrial Construction V serve any purpose. Never said anything about lvl5 of those skills ... but yeah, just means they are even more useless. Any other skills in the game that are completely useless at a specific level? .
Mashie Saldana Red Federation	Posted - 2010.03.24 11:30:00 - [16] Originally by: Ravenal Much like frigate/cruiser/battleship construction and them like ... they fall into the same category as anchoring. Annoying and useless skills, good for being a time barrier only (leech subscription time) Ok so you call every skill that doesn't give a bonus per level a prereq skill? Well that would be every spaceship command skill then as the skills themself don't provide a bonus. I mean racial frigate/cruiser 4 are time wasters if you fly a BS. Racial BS 5 doesn't do anything if you fly a capital and so on... Omg, the game is full of prereq skills that doesn't do anything.
Keitaro Baka Babylon Scientific and Industrial Enterprises Babylon Project	Posted - 2010.03.26 10:47:00 - [17] rofklet spec until they boost it tbh unless a skill does nothing (the ones already mentioned) there's always a case to be made for it. You can say biology is useless until you actually use boosters, some of the R&D Science skills are useless unless you actually R&D that field, etc.. I guess exp shield comp is pretty useless, you'd have to be using passive explosive shield mods, who in their right mind would ever do that over most other shield mods. All the above is prolly crap Drone Guide

Useless yes, but it is part of a shiny certificate and as such is of interest for some people to skill for. Current skillplan completion: Sun 20/07/2014

They are 100% useless, for now. Add Astronautic Engineering to that list. Lol, I have four of the above trained to level 5. Dr Caymus -=ATI=-
Tallaran Kouros Caldari	Posted - 2010.03.26 16:44:00 - [20] Originally by: Ravenal A cursed ncoring That's Anchoring. Uselessest damned skill in the game only performing as a prereq barrier. imo all prereq barriers should also provide bonuses! It does provide a bonus - if you train it to LV then you have a prerequisite needed to train (I think) Starbase Defence Management - a very useful skill if you ever want to be able to take manual control of POS guns during a war.
stoicfaux	Posted - 2010.03.26 16:51:00 - [21] Multitasking IV or V is an honorable mention since no ship lock more than 10 targets at once. What about Amarr Drone Specialization? Amarr drones are so bad that you're better off using Gallente drones against EM weak targets. ----- "Are you a sociopathic paranoid schizophrenic with accounting skills?

Mashie Saldana Red Federation	Posted - 2010.03.26 16:59:00 - [22] Originally by: stoicfaux Multitasking IV or V is an honorable mention since no ship lock more than 10 targets at once. Add a Signal Amplifier II to a logistic or marauder and you can have 12 targets. Current skillplan completion: Sun 20/07/2014

Add a Signal Amplifier II to a logistic or marauder and you can have 12 targets. Sadly case where you would absolutely need to target 12 instead 10 targets at once are 0 when you have only 4-5 reppers or 8 guns anyway in one ship. Hmmh e-waring, repping, shooting super logistic ship yey.

Hmmh e-waring, repping, shooting super logistic ship yey. It is pretty awesome in small gang warfare to have all your friends locked and ready to be repped, just saying.

Drykor Minmatar Aperture Harmonics K162	Posted - 2010.03.27 17:40:00 - [26] Originally by: Keitaro Baka I guess exp shield comp is pretty useless, you'd have to be using passive explosive shield mods, who in their right mind would ever do that over most other shield mods. Well, it does increase your explosive resists when your invulnerabity field isn't active because of being neuted or whatever. Though I agree it's not worth taking to level V, I will probably get it to IV at some point (being at III atm)
Phantom Circuit Devious Decorum Advocated Destruction	Posted - 2010.03.28 20:10:00 - [27] Advanced Spaceship Command. I can't decide between that and Anchoring.
Breaker77 Gallente Reclamation Industries	Posted - 2010.03.28 20:27:00 - [28] Originally by: Phantom Circuit Advanced Spaceship Command. Your either kidding or trolling. Quote: Grants a 5% Bonus per skill level to the agility of ships requiring Advanced Spaceship Command. So all freighters, jump freighters, rorqual, carriers, dreads, moms, and titans benefit from it.
Phantom Circuit Devious Decorum Advocated Destruction	Posted - 2010.03.28 20:52:00 - [29] Ah, the topic is useless. I thought it was skills you hated training.
Dacryphile	Posted - 2010.03.29 15:25:00 - [30] Originally by: Doro di'Massen Originally by: Estel Arador Tactical Shield Manipulation (someone had to say it) invulnerability fields are quite nice, tho That is the point, its just a prereq skill that really doesn't do much in a practical setting, much like survey. Originally by: Doc Robertson ...take a good look at this pic and tell us which one is you.
