Let us repeat again: if you could fly it before, you will be able to do so after the change. Technically it means if you are able to fly an Oracle by having Amarr Cruisers 3 and Battlecruisers 3, we will remove the Battlecruisers skill from your character and give you Amarr Battlecruisers at 3. If you had Battlecruisers at 3 and Caldari Cruisers 3 instead, you would not receive Amarr Battlecruisers but the Caldari Battlecruisers skill at 3 instead. The same principle work with the Destroyers skill.
With the way nested skill requirements work in EVE, it also means that you will still be able to fly an Apocalypse even if you donGÇÖt have the Amarr Battlecruiser skill trained at 4 after the change. It wonGÇÖt matter as long as you have the Amarr Battleship skill at the proper level.
With this in mind, it becomes quite obvious to focus on training the Destroyers and Battlecruisers skills before the change to get the maximum return effect. We highly recommend you start doing so now.
Am I the only one who has caught the discrepancy here? If you're only exchanging Battlecruiser X skill for a single [Race] Battlecruiser X skill, and the rank multipliers will be identical... then what is this benefit, that causes them to highly recommend training them now? You end with the exact same amount of skillpoints that you had previously, and no advantage to training them before changes than after.
There is either a failure in CCP Ytterbium's ability to communicate, or ability to draw a sound conclusion. But which is it?
Now: 4 x racial frigate - Destroyer - 4 x racial cruiser - Battlecruiser
After changes: 4 x racial frigate - 4 x racial destroyer - 4 x racial cruiser - 4 x racial battle cruiser
If you have: 1 x racial frigate - Destroyer - 1 x racial cruiser - Battlecruiser
Reimbursement: 1 x racial frigate - 1 x racial destroyer - 1 x racial cruiser - 1 x racial battlecruiser
To train all to V: 3 x racial frigate -
3 x racial destroyer - 3 x racial cruiser -
3 x racial battlecruiser
if you have : 4 x racial frigate - Destroyer - 4 x racial cruiser - Battlecruiser
Reimbursement: 4 x racial frigate - 4 x racial Destroyer - 4 x racial cruiser - 4 x racial Battlecruiser
You save: 3 x racial destroyer at 2x difficulty and 3 x racial battlecruiser at 6x difficulty
Conclusion: Train all racial frigates to IV, Destroyer to V, racial cruiser to III and Battlecruiser to V now to get full reimbursement.
The failure is not on CCP Ytterbium's part.
