For the new Command ship prereqs:

Take Sleipnir as this is a 'shield' ship you would fly after training CS: Think about the times it can dip into armor before logi / local reps catch on, Armored Warfare bonus helps with a little more buffer before the ship explodes. Consider that it is a bc, so Skirmish Warfare bonus helps it get into, around and out of a fight faster. Contemplate that faster locking generally means faster application of DPS, so Information Warfare helps here.
A better negitive arguement to this would have that the Siege Wafare skill does not match the armored CS. However, I find I like those few seconds that a tiny shield buffer will give me before I need to worried about my armor tank, so Siege Warfare is beneicial here. Also the shield/gank Astarte would like to say hi. And btw, the Damnation / Absolution enjoy that agility bonus.
As Freighdee Katt said "Shield fleets "don't need" Hull Upgrades, Signature Analysis, or Evasive Maneuvering either"
To agree and add to this solid line of thinking, there are many skills that have a indirect positive effect on a ship which are not 'needed' but very helpful. They could have used other skills that did not really enhance the ship. In the removal of the Cruiser / Assault / Heavy Assault / Logi skills which had no direct positve effect on the ship and replacement of skills that do have a positive effect, I believe that the Dev's have decided on the correct course of action for Command Ships. |

CCP Ytterbium wrote:Alrigh folks, good news. We'll change the way training works so that you can still train the skills you have after change, even if you don't meet the prerequisite anymore. Ex: You have Amarr Freighter 1 after the change but not Advanced Spaceship Command 5. You can still fly the Providence and you will now still be able to train Amarr Freighter past 1 as long as you have the skill injected.Hope that's clear - trying my very best
So yes you can fly the ship after without the new prereq and continue to train it |

Anyone know WHEN the summer expansion hits? Just planning my day here...
