What i desperately want to know for the battlecruiser/destroyer racial split is this:

What if i have battlecruiser 5 and minmatar frigate 4? What level, then, will minmatar battlecruiser be?

yesyes i went back and edited, i put the wrong word there :3

But despite that i do think you know what point i meant to convey, which skill takes higher priority? cruiser or battlecruiser? Frigate or destroyer?

I currently have the following skills already trained:

BC 5
Caldari cruiser 5
Minmatar cruiser 5
Amarr cruiser 5
Destroyers 5

Dos this mean I'll get all destroyer at level 5 and all BC 5 as well?

On a somewhat related note, when is the "Will Jump Freighters require Freighter V?" question going to be answered? (Requiring Freighter V is necessary to stick to the paradigm of Tech 2 requiring V in the base ship skill.)

I have Caldari Cruiser V, BC 0 and Destroyers 0. I'll have Caldari Destroyers 4 and Caldari BC 0 after patch - correct?

Quote from blog:

> Changing skill requirements for Racial Cruisers from Racial Frigates 4 to Racial Destroyers 4

But how am I supposed to have Caldari Cruiser V without Caldari Destriyers 4?

Perhaps this has been asked and answered already (in which case, I apologize to everyone):

Looking even further in the future, is it likely - or even just possible - that T2 ships will be given the same racial skill treatment? Ie. are we going to have to train Gallente Assault Ships, Minmatar Recon Ships, Caldari Logistics, Amarr Marauder, etc.?

Incorrect, you're confusing skillbook requirements with Ship prerequesite to "activate" it.

If you loose BS5 of the race, you'll currently be purged from your ship. But you'd have to be pretty stupid.. as dying in an AlphaClone affects the highest multiplier skills.. and there are a lot more you'll have to burn through before loosing a BS5 skill.

When EXACTLY is the change to the skills for bc and destroyers coming? We going to see it in Retribution? How many days?

They keep hinting to it's coming SoonGäó. But they're giving no hints at all to when. Before or after fan fest? Little more specifics please.

That means i can decide between:
1. I Loose 3 months of skilltime
2. Loose over a month of higher income due less manufacturing slots and a weaker ratting-ship and no usefull progress.
Is that really how it will be?
Pest or cholera?

Here in contrary its: Don't skill Battlecuiser now and you are an idiot!
It costs you 3 months of skilling!

If I would have 4 months there wouldn't even be a problem. But its set close after December 4.

Please research before you make inaccurate claims:

Clearly shows you, as will in-game pre-req show you that

Maybe i'm missing something but when I check the BC skillbook it makes no mention of additional bonuses per level.

Yes, you do.

I was training Covert Ops IV when I got podded, without having an up-to-date clone. The Skill Clone Penalty was Electronic Upgrades from V to IV. My training for Covert Ops IV stopped, with this in the log:

[ 2010.10.24 09:32:59 ] (info) To learn that skill requires having already learned the following skills: Electronics Upgrades : Level 5.

Are the racial destroyer skills getting put in on Dec. 4th or with the battlecruiser stuff?

Right caught that part but my question was aimed at the destroyer skills getting split into racial skills and whether or not they are coming with the Dec. 4th patch.
