Hello everyone,
Lately there have been a lot of posts on the forum pertaining to the proposed splitting of the Destroyer and Battlecruiser skills into racial variants as discussed in this dev blog from CCP Ytterbium.
In an effort to clear up some confusion about this and keep numerous duplicate threads from being posted about it, here is some generic information about it:
- If you could fly it before, you will be able to do so after the change. You will be automatically given the new racial BC and Destroyer skills at your current BC/Destroyer skill level if you also have the corresponding racial Cruiser/Frigate skill to 3.
- There is no current release date for this change. The change will not be made until next year. It is not a part of the Retribution patch occurring on December 4th. Even so, we recommend you begin skill training for the skills now if you want to 100% ensure that you will get all of the skills when this change goes live.
- Just to reiterate, this change is not a part of the Retribution patch on December 4th. Just making sure everyone heard that.
- If you wish to discuss this proposed change, please do so on the Features & Ideas Discussion forum. You can find that forum here.

I've fixed the title of the thread and clarified that you need racial frig to 4, not 3.

Actually, Racial Frig to IV is a prerequisite for getting Racial Cruiser, so it is (more or less) irrelevant to the changes. I've reverted that change.

Therefore if today you have Amarr cruiser III and BC V and you do nothing, after these changes, to have the OTHER BC hulls at the same skill you must train the racial cruiser to IV AND the racial BC to V.
No this isn't how skills in EVE work. Just because the skill has a prequisite doesn't mean you can't fly it if you have the skill when in theory you shouldn't. Devs have already clarified this.
He is correct, though. If, at the time of the change, you have ONLY Amarr Cruiser III and Battlecruiser V, you will get Amarr Battlecruiser V. You will not get any of the other racial BC skills unless you also have the racial Cruiser skills to III as well.
