Fish aside, I thought I'd take a look at the skill books for sale today, and then wondered if out of all the categories, there were any I was missing. After all, the vast majority of my training has been either because I wanted to use a piece of kit, or it was recommended to me via a second party etc.
So then I realised.....I have never trained (and I forget the names already) the skill that decreases the cap use of your AB, or the skill that increases the speed of ABs and MWDs. Worse still, there are some pretty interesting electronic warfare ones I'm missing, although as I dont use that so much I'm not hurting too bad for those.
But for four years I've looked at Battleclinic and wondered, "how the hell do people get these speeds? I have navigation 5 godammit, doesnt that count for anything?!" Four years I've called bull**** when people have linked me their fits and then told me what speed they do. Two years I've flown an Inty 3 months I've wondered, "so what's the big deal about faction ABs?"
A whole new world of speed is opening to me. Finally I "get" speed tanking, and now officially accept that it is possible, and perhaps even viable |

Come on, the increase in speed from Acceleration Control is not large enough to cause a nigh-spiritual revelation...

I just looked in EFT. My current inty will go from 4142m/s, to precisely 5000 m/s
And why didnt I even notice that before. Gah this is all so overwhelming. My EVE life is collapsing in upon itself.

This thread is nothing to do with Dramiel's. I would never fly one. Especially not when I have a Slicer

Originally by: Senghir 3 months I've wondered, "so what's the big deal about faction ABs?"
Don't feel bad, the exact same thing happened to me too. I was designing a Tengu a few months back and couldn't figure out why I wasn't cap stable but the level 5 skill pilot in EFT was. Finally figured out that I hadn't trained the AB cap use skill up. Over the years, I've also found a few really REALLY basic skills I'd totally bypassed. I always thought medium drones were a bit pants because I was missing the Combat Drones skill that adds damage to small and medium drones. And I was missing one of the really basic gunnery skills for the longest time, despite flying almost entirely blaster and railgun based ships for the past few years.

Indeed, epic EveMon fail is epic Come now, everything's infront of you and yet you miss them ... for years?! This is a troll right?
P.S Every now and then I scour the Evemon skill list/items/ships looking at things and thinking of possibilities. You don't?

Um, open up the market, open skill books, then open navigation. I suggest you do that for every skill book category and start reading. If you can't remember what skill is what, then write down anything that catches your eye. That's what I did in the beginning.
Stop messing with my slack, pinko. Praise Bob! |

You do know Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing increases the control range on all your drones, not just the EWAR drones

Use Evemon or any other similar character planner... The full list of skills is very useful when you suspect something is "amiss" :D |

Out of curiosity, where'd you get the exclamation "Holy Carp" from? ----- Character back under original management. |

Holy Carp sounds like something from the Batman TV series back in the sixties.
Seriously though, it is worth browsing the skills available every so often 'cos they keep sneaking in new ones.

It's like Holy Crap :) But whenever I wrote it at work I always typo'd it to "Carp" :) Figured I may as well start using it!

If you love the speed boats then you really would have enjoyed the times when you could still stack mwd's.

Did not know. But wondered why my drone control range seems to be a lot bigger than it used to be!

These days i just open the market and try to find the skills that i DON'T have.
Just a lil joke there, there are still tons of skills i could train, just not bothering with em (yet)
And some of em are pointless, i simply don't have the iskies to get the titan skillbook, let alone the ship itself ________________________________________________
