They were bad game design in the sense that the smartest move for new players is the least fun. CCP has said this.
Now they they have a mechanism to give out training I predict that they will shortly remove the learning skills from the game and reimburse time spent training them.
Probably this will coincide with another measure to universally increase the rate of learning skills.

I'm going to laugh at all you learning skill bandwagon posters who feel the need to pad their post counts with "YEAH LEARNINGS DOWN WITH LEARNINGS YEAH" (which is in essence all you say) if it turns out to be something not to do with learning skills.

They are going to "monitize" the Skill Points so you can BUY more via PLEXs or real currency.

Why? It's been predicted ever since the whole "SP redeeming" scheme was unveiled ù he just chose to spam a new thread about it. That part was a separate (and far more important) announcement to the gift, and we knew the gift would be a thing, rather than a mechanic, more or less from the get-go. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

I dont read every buried post on this forum. And I definetly didnt read that. What i posted is just the rather obvious use and intention of this new tool for CCP.
Now if your just going to divine my inner most thoughts. Please post the ones concerning you so you can have a 2 week ban.
EDIT: As Tippia said its obvious to anyone with a clue that the ability to give SP is a far bigger deal than a the gift will be.

No, what you posted was Theorycrafting and bending the tool to fit the purpose. CCP Has not stated they have been are working on a way to remove skills and thus automatically reimburse the SP, only add SP. Quite a significant difference here.

Note that they could also use it on Sisi to help people do dev testing by just giving them the SP pool to help out. Or they could make it such that if you aren't actively training something that your SP accumulates into the pool instead of merely being wasted time.
It doesn't have to be a removal of learning skills, even if I think it would be better for the game and for noobs trying to play the game.

Learning removal was the first thing I thought after reading the blog too.

I hope they do remove the learning skills - but only that. Just remove every learning skillbook from the game, so everybody who didn't already train them is stuck with their base attributes, plus implants. That way the whiners get exactly what they asked for, and I can do a laugh.

What's the ship bonus? A 5% reduction in clicks needed to manage a planet per skill level?
But seriously, is it supposed to be a cheap blockade runner type ship? Or just something to make hauling PI resources around without heavily skilling in industrial ships? Or will it provide a bonus to PI production rates? Or what?

Maybe it doesn't do anything,
Maybe it doesn't fit into your world view of "useful", like man nipples or Jeff Capes.
Maybe it's just a ship the art guys drew and modeled in their spare time out of love for their job.
Maybe CCP decided to give it to us just to say "hey, thanks for playing our game, heres a toy to play about with for a few days".
Maybe min maxing a FOTM character and getting 50+ guys on a gate while you accuse each other of being gay and tell arse jokes for 10 hours just to +1 your kill-board so you can say your dad can beat you his dad or whatever isn't the be all and end all of the eve experience.

His question is quite valid. Nowhere apart from three leaked, and what looks like unfinished, stat screenies has any indication of its role been given.

I wasn't trolling. Historically free ships are generally novelties in the grand scheme of things, it probably was made by the art guys as a side project. Asking about its bonuses so you can run off to EFT and start building "sick fits" is an exercise in futility.
Its more than likely, plain old vanity gear; it does nothing other than look good. subscribe. (disclaimer: and when I say nothing I mean it probably will have some token abilities but anyone with half a brain will be able to fit another ship to do the same job better.)
Hope that cleared up any confusion.

If anything the removal of learning skills and the standardisation of SP/Hour will bring EVERYONES skill gain down to a lower SP/Hour.
I envision the standard rate being something like 1860 or 1980 an hour as opposed to my current 2442 and hour  |

Remember, they did say in that dev blog:
Originally by: CCP Wrangler
In gratitude for your patience and after consulting the Council of Stellar Management, we will give an extra pool of skillpoints to all accounts (paying and trial) that were active at the beginning of this downtime, on one character per account. This skillpoint pool will be appropriately sized for the downtime time frame, universal across all accounts regardless of character attributes/implants and may be applied as each player wants.
This will be done through a new system in the development pipeline, currently scheduled for deployment next TuesdayÆs patching opportunity* during regularly scheduled downtime. Since it has been ôhot droppedö into the development plans, we will be providing step-by-step instructions for how to use it as soon as possible.
There is still definately something else coming, be it the end of learning skills (I doubt it) or a way to buy SP (I really hope not), or just some way to reimburse us when they have extra downtimes, there is something other then this ship. |

Learning Skills won't be going away any time soon. There's no justification for penalizing people who went through the weeks of drudgery to train them up. Reimbursement of the SP to use in other areas would not be nearly enough. It was understood that training them up involved sacrifice and was an investment for the future. For me, that investment is now finally paying off. If someone else didn't think it was worth it to spend all that time on the Learning Skills, well, that was your choice. You made yours and I made mine. Now you don't like the way it turned out? Too bad. |

I fully endorse this product and/or service.
"I dun wanna waste time training learning skills!" "Okay, we removed them per your request. Min/Maxed, you now train about 1700 sp/hour, where as Ms. Tsukino, who 'wasted' her time training said learning skills six years ago, trains about 2600; finishing a skill such as Minmatar Battleship V 13 or so days quicker than you." "UNFAIR!" "HTFU! Learning skills were not developed to help you learn Salvaging I faster, but to pay off over time - they are an investment in your character. THERE IS LITTLE INSTANT GRATIFICATION IN EVE. If you want something NOW NOW NOW, go play tennis. Oh, wait, maybe not."

Well,there's about 5.3 million skill points in the learning category,and if CCP remove those skills,and allow that skill point total to be transfered to other skills,i've already picked which ones i'll use it on:
1:Gallente titan lvl 5(it's at lvl 4 now). 2:Doomsday lvl 5(It's also at lvl 4 too).

Why stop with removing learning skills? Remove skillpoints completely and leave us with skills and skillbooks. Introduce a skillbook for each level, and a corresponding price.

You can't get your "training back" if they remove learning skills. Each rank of the learning skill you learned reduces future skill training time. With only a few exceptions (lvl 5 of the 2nd tier skills), learning skills pay for themselves very quickly (in only 6 months or less).
What they should do is give a reward to people who have lvl 5s in the 2nd tier skills (maybe some bonus skill points, maybe some unique item), but definitely not fully replace the lost learning skill points (assuming CCP removes learning skills). |

HUH?
1 If they remove training skills they will probably increase everyone's base stats or they will reduce training times. Even if they dont Im fine with it.
2 The new mechanics they are using to make up for lost time could be used pay back the SP spent on learning skills - thats kind of the whole point of this thread, how do you not get that? |

To be a bit more clear, you've already gained your training time back from nearly all your skill points in learning, so for CCP to give you your SP back is double dipping. You spend 768,000 SP on Logic V, over the course of a few years you might gain a few million SP extra, and then get your 768,000 SPs back? Totally unnecessary. My idea of a non-SP reward was mostly to (1) give some sort of reward to those with the persistence to get lvl V tier 2 learning skills and (2) give something to those who haven't fully gotten their SPs back yet. |

Down with learning skills people are pretty dumb.
Sure they can reimburse us for our time spent training them but they also have to boost our stats up, and there are many who havent trained the advanced learning skills to lvl 5.
Soo.............
Basically if you are going to remove learning skills and improve everyones stats, you are also giving away free stat points, especially to those who didnt earn it. |

You can't get your "training back" if they remove learning skills. Each rank of the learning skill you learned reduces future skill training time. With only a few exceptions (lvl 5 of the 2nd tier skills), learning skills pay for themselves very quickly (in only 6 months or less).
then the only sensible option is to take out learning skills, and not reimburse the points you had in them. see, if you did that, then you lose 5 mil, and new characters cant gain the benefits of learning skills. that evens out perfectly. |

LOLOLOLOL! Yeah just like they reimbursed people who had to learn certain skills to 5 and later changed the requirements to level 4. |

NPE: IF new players get X skillpoints to distribute in their own skill sets, say, after basic training, then they could CHOOSE to put them into learning skills, or other stuff if they prefer. That would allow the learning grind for new players to be lessened, without unbalancing or being unfair to those that already trained them, and this in a better way than the old character-creation juggling act for skillpoints. I reckon this is what's coming soon, not the removal of the learning skills themselves.

Where's CCP Adida?
All these threads about skillpoints and removal (LOL) of learning skills need to be moved to the Skills subforum and locked IMMEDIATELY. |

Originally by: VinLieger Theyve stated a few times even though learning skills were a bad idea its far too late to remove them now
What they actually said at the last fanfest is that they'd be difficult to remove or fix, but they are trying to come up with something. And this skill reimbursement feature they're adding does get them one step closer to a solution.

Originally by: Ghoest They were bad game design in the sense that the smartest move for new players is the least fun. CCP has said this.
Now they they have a mechanism to give out training I predict that they will shortly remove the learning skills from the game and reimburse time spent training them.
Probably this will coincide with another measure to universally increase the rate of learning skills.
God I hope so.
