You're flat out wrong. Energy Management is right after fitting skills in the 5 queue.
Cap = life
Sure, but a lot of setups rely on cap boosters (even for PVE), and that makes it a lot less important
Not really. The presence of cap boosters might make Energy Systems Operations less valuable, since you're largely exchanging the inherent cap regen with the booster charges, but Energy Managment provides cap buffer, and cap boosters are not a useful replacement for that buffer.
Energy Management is 3× harder to train for a reasonà

Especially Minmatar. Example would be that it is nice to have with Vagabonds with pulsing mwd's ;)
Especially everybody, but especially, especially Amarr.
Yes, because those are minmatar ships.
àwhich is why especially especially Amarr need to train the skill.

5% more cap to start with, I think there's not that much cases for even an armor tank where cap rechargers (20% faster recharge), cap power relays (20% faster recharge) or cap boosters, cap rigs wouldn't make a far, far bigger difference.
àexcept that none of those mods provide the benefit as Energy Management does: cap buffer.
Quote:
I just ask myself in how many cases does it happen that those extra 5% really makes the difference? I can't imagine it can possibly be very often.
It happens any time you get hit with a neut/nos and every time you fit a cap boosterà so, quite often.

I'm just wondering when exactly it takes precedence over other skills. I mean: it¦s not the 1st skill you¦ll train to V as rookie. Eventually everyone will want to train it because every ship uses cap, but not before you have a lot of other skills to IV or V.
I'd say it's definitely one of the first V:s you should get. It goes right up there with the rest of the "basic ship attribute" skills (Electronics, Mechanic, Engineering and the like, quite possibly even before Hull upgrades and Shield Management)à somewhere around the time right before you start dipping your toes in your first T2 ships and weaponry.

What the skill does is that it frees you from fitting and extra cap recharger/rig so you can definitely do without V in the skill but considering it's only a rank 1 skill there's no reason not to train it.
It's a Rank 3 skill. And it adds 5%, not 15-20% like a CCC rig or 20% for a cap recharger.
None of those do what Energy Management does, so it's not quite comparable. You rather want to compare it to cap batteries and memory cells.
àalso, if you want to make that kind of comparison, it adds 4.2%, not 5%.

Pilots flying the decent minnie ships (ie below BS) don't really need to worry about cap until you're looking at Sleips and what not.
NB - I'm talking PvP only here, not PVE.
àat which point you'll sooner or later come across a whole bunch of neuts, where every last bit of extra cap (yes, including the extra 4.2% from EM V) is a godsend.
