In the upcoming expansion, there are some serious issues that can only be reconciled with free skillpoints or PLEX.
The 2 big ones.. Iteron V is/was 24d to skill for. It will be reduced to 33 minutes.. MINUTES! That's brand new noob, to ITTY V in THIRTY THREE MINUTES! This has the value of nearly an entire month of game time.
Second, the Orca is going from 40+d down to 17 days. This is unacceptable. The thought that some troll can spend his 14-day trial and be up to par with seasoned vets who spent over a month skilling is just atrocious.

The fact that you're crying about this is hilarious because those skills aren't trainable on a trial account. If you're not already part of a bloc, this is the best guy for CSM8. |

vov I trained my Orca alt, I don't mind the decrease in time for others to train it
However I think its silly the Ittty V is so quick to train for now, not cause of others who have trained for it but rather because it pretty much obsoletes most every other T1 industrial Starships were meant to fly~ |

Believe it or not, ships tend to have hull bonuses for the skills! This means that while you can fly an Iteron V with Gallente Industrial I, you'll still want to train that skill up to get more cargo space (and speed, hurrr) out of it.

e: although you do wonder how you can make five different industrials perform five different roles. going from 'light with smallish cargo space' to 'slow with tons of cargo' over five ships will mean only two are used - the smallest and the biggest. there'll be a 'tanky' one, no doubt about that, but that leaves two more ships to find roles for? |

All ship skill requirements reduced from 1-5 to 1. We want to overhaul Industrials roles as part of the Tiericide initiative and this is the first step in that direction.

I guess the bigger question is, since one race has 5, and others 2 industrials;
Is CCP going to give all races 5 industrials and try to build roles for all of them, or are we going to see the removal of ships for the first time in EVE?

yea. because TODAY every n00b gets his first Itty I, fill it with ALL his assets and autopilot elsewere, probably lowsec. (c)

PS: actually i'm happy with it because i was never able to dedicate 24 days for training to Itty V and after summer i will have it for free. Lazy boy won! |

OP, if noobs can get easier in to higher class ships I think it's good. They can't use them properly as you do with all your skills and provide nice killmails with expensive stuff they can barely fit.
This is good.

because you understood the very simple system the first time it was announced, and trained destroyers and BCs to V, all racial frigs to IV, and all racial cruisers to III?

/if/ all they do is play with bay sizes, speeds and so on, there will be a limited number of ships flown.
However, they have other options.
Optimize one for tractor beam usage, and give it an ore bay. Now you have a mini orca (cheaper, doesn't move like such a pig. Hopefully they'll play with bay sizes a bit too)
Give one a fitting service.

even at industrial I it's still bigger than any other industrial at V with similar fits (eg t1 rigs and t2 expanders in every possible slot)
then again, they're rebalancing the industrials anyway so the stats so it's irrelevant to even compare them. |

Hopefully something like this with all races ending up with 5 choices, optimized for speed or cargo or survivability, ore haulers, fleet hanger - that type of thing. Just have to wait and see

I like all of the skill requirement reductions, regardless of what I can and can't fly. If it means there will be more underskilled targets flying around in higher-valued ships for me to shoot, all is well in the world.

I don't think anyone is complaining about a noob being able to fly the Orca. What people are complaining about here is their investment in training time being wasted by CCP. The fact that it took the better part of 2mos to train is time we can never get back. That's real time. Frankly, I would like to reallocate that training time since it means every new toon can now spend almost 2 mos training something else.

I don't mind the skill requirement changes, and much of what I wanted to say has already been said. But I'm going to look into my crystal ball and try to predict what will happen to the industrials:
# The CPU will be cut down significantly. As some of you know, T1 industrials have more CPU than they know what to do with, which has led to Industrials becoming ECM boats and other somewhat bizarro fittings. From what I remember, this was part of some old plan of CCP's to give Industrials a secondary role involving some CPU-intensive module that I can't remember the name of right now.
# One industrial hull will focus on speed and agility, and one on cargo volume. This is pretty much a given. The question is if any further varieties are called upon, or even needed.
One of the following will happen:
# They'll add a new industrial ship for the Amarr and Caldari, with the intent of fulfilling a specific task or role, and to leave open a hull for a T2 variant in the future.
# They'll retire the Hoarder for the Minmatar, as well as the Mark I, Mark III and the Mark V for the Gallente. The Mark II and the Mark IV are used for the Transport Ships, so they won't go, but the other three do not have T2 variants.
In all likelyhood, some of the Iteron hulls will be retired... if CCP can actually do that. It wouldn't surprise me if they're willing to do that, but unable due to the complexity of the operation. Which makes the former option a more viable choice. |

i trained an alt for a long time to fly an itty v and frankly i don't give a damn
the sp is still useful to me
with all the changes being flown about we're all getting hit by something being less good than it was and with ccp's commitment to continue balancing ships and mods we're all going to be hit again
compensation should not be given over every single damn change in the game. it leads to more FOTM as people just reallocate into whatever is perceived to be most powerful at that time and demand it back when whatever it was is nerfed again

meh, I fly and itty V and i am okay with the changes. I like the path after the change since it will be clearer for me how to get into sub-cap ships.
For me I like the idea of being able to train for an Orca without having to have a lot of mining skills. I like that indy/haulers have a ship between the freighter that they can train for without having to spend time on mining skills we will never use. http://eveboard.com/pilot/Ronix_Aideron |

e: although you do wonder how you can make five different industrials perform five different roles. going from 'light with smallish cargo space' to 'slow with tons of cargo' over five ships will mean only two are used - the smallest and the biggest. there'll be a 'tanky' one, no doubt about that, but that leaves two more ships to find roles for?
There's been times I've needed to haul X amount of cargo and just downsized to the right Iteron size to just about do it in one trip, but with better align time than the Itty V. Same could apply here. |

I've got 2 toons that fly the Orca. That's a lot of invested time that could have been spent training other things. I would like to be compensated.
The exact same complaints were made about people who skilled Surveying or Astrometrics to V when it was more useful/required for other skills. They didn't get compensated. If they refunded skill points anytime a skill became less useful...I'd have a lot of extra skillpoints.

it's a 2 week, maybe 3, skill. hardly months.
great so every one has an itty V, and what? it's still flimsy as **** and you still can't haul anything of great worth.
what people think is going to happen: the world will be full of itty Vs clogging up jita. what will really happen: the poor week old newbie makes 1 trip in an itty vs 2 trips in another industrial hauling worthless items around for his own use.
is it really that much of an issue?
let's face it, regardless of these changes you'd still have gallente industrial at V because you probably fly an obelisk. |

it appears a choice between having an itty v as a no-brainer for a little while and releasing all the skill changes at the same time, or releasing an industrials rebalance and the industrial skill change at a different date to the rest of the major skill changes, causing confusion.
skill changes cause enough consternation already without staggering them across multiple releases :P |

Well actually Hulks are still the main producers of high end ore, by a large degree. For some reason nobody wants to admit that. 
If the T1 industrial lines were all expanded to 5 I could see a number of ways to specialize them: Cargo Bay size. Cargo Bay specialization (specialized to carry perhaps liquids like water or Quafe, or gasses, or living things like livestock or people, or minerals/ore). Speed/Agility/Warp speed Defenses More utility high slots and grid/cpu Built in equivalent of a warp stab or two like the Venture.
There are actually quite a few variables that can be played around with as long as they actually serve a logical purpose. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Yeah, I was running ideas through my head & couldn't come up with anything that didn't make 2-3 of the models obsolete in every way. Tiercide with combat ships makes sense, but the haulers are pretty balanced already.

3 seems fairly easy - just give each of the three a niche of either great agility, great cargo capacity, or great buffer.
For the Gallente line, what might work for the remaining two is above average ability in two of the above and really terrible ability in the remaining one. Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge ****.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006

I don't think the OP is whining about a noob piloting the same vessel he is (I hope he/she is not). I think the gripe is with the SP loss due to the opportunity cost of what they trained.
I am almost finished with my Orca training, 6 more days. When I get it I do not plan to use it much for mining. So come Tuesday I will have an opportunity loss associated with training Mining Barge V.
But let's look at the noob piloting a capital industrial in 17 days. For one CCP has destroyed a barrier of entry to the vessel. This barrier not only has an effect on mining boost, but it will have a larger effect on transports. Be prepared to see them everywhere.
On the positive side, I do hope when people realize that CCP is basically giving away a mobile space station there will be more people out exploring the content instead of hanging in stations. This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

On the surface, it would look as though this decision has made every other hauler in the game obsolete. Taking the changes announced in the Dev Blog at face value this would be true.
HOWEVER, I am SURE that CCP knows what they are doing and there is NO WAY they could have made this change without a fantastic plan or new feature that will make sense as soon as it is deployed.
Has CCP ever let you down before? I think NOT!
So, deep breaths, keep calm and place your trust in those masters of balance.
OR... research a Ity 5 BPO to max, make hundreds of ships, sell to noobs that get them blown up... rinse and repeat.

Ok, so why don't we simply remove skillpoints from the game then and make every ship available from day 1? |

The change in initial skill requirement together with industrial tiericide would most likely mean that while Industrial I would allow you to fly an Iteron V, you'd still need Industrial V for it to have the large cargohold that it has today.
So in reality, not really any change, except that it allows for more different ships to actually be useful.

As some of you know, T1 industrials have more CPU than they know what to do with, which has led to Industrials becoming ECM boats and other somewhat bizarro fittings. From what I remember, this was part of some old plan of CCP's to give Industrials a secondary role involving some CPU-intensive module that I can't remember the name of right now.
Take a look at the Industrial Core used in the Rorqual for a hint on the original plan for the Industrials.
Module(s) that would allow various industrial activities like refining, compressing or even building stuff directly in a ship.
It's the reason why they are named 'Industrials' in the first place.
However someone had other ideas and that functionality got moved to POSes.
Leaving the Industrial class of ships with a strange name and too much CPU.

I just like how they lowered the Battleship skill requirements on capitals. Although since the revisions are due for summer, I still feel kinda let down that I trained Caldari BS to 5. Not like it's not helping anything having it at 5. At least now I can get into the other capitals easier once I have the generic support skills.

Well tbh itty V is OP anyways.. So balanced they should as itty V has been best t1 industrial for like ever?
Alltho i do understand your point about getting itty V in half hour.. Another thing is how much cargospace itty V has at lvl1 with t1 modules and no rigs.. Its bit funny anyways that these t1 industrials have different requirements.. Like mammoth vs itty V for example you need currently lvl4 for mammoth and you need lvl5 for itty5.. Isnt that bit weird... |

The point is, that skilling costs time, time costs plex, plex costs money
so considering the fact, that Orca, which supposed to be capital ship, can be trained in two weeks, instead of 1 and half month ... itty5 is from almost one month to 33m ... and so on
in my eyes I lost lots of money and I am not ok with it
I understand that that orca will not be able to give boosting, nothing than hauling, but its still the question of principle and i can continue with more ships, when i needed to train like idiot to lvl5
lets make everything available to fly in few minutes for new players, maybe they will buy plexes to buy these ships ... |

if you wanted something for just hauling, you should have perhaps trained a ship for hauling like, say, a freighter? |

This change has been a long time overdo and frankly there are a lot of people who will be very very happy about them. So examine your imaginary problems, realise they are imaginary, and then stop complaining.
consider the following: a player trains minmatar industrial to IV or V to get ~27k m3 cargo space in a mammoth. a new player comes along and trains gallente industrial to I and gets >30k (iirc) cargo space.
that's probably why people are upset, to be blunt. |

No, you couldn't have. Not if you want the Orca to haul at any time before May. Especially considering the Orca's role as a Hauler recently took a big heavy nerf bat to the balls.
I've got an alt that trained an Orca specifically for Corp Hangar hauling. I no longer own an Orca, as the mechanic I used to great effect while it was available is no longer available. I don't have any problem with it, because I understand the concept of Sunk Cost.
You Trained to gain the use of an Orca at the time your training completed, correct? You got the use of the Orca that you trained for from the time you completed training until now, correct? You will continue to have the use of the Orca that you trained for after may, correct?
What effect does a change in what other people have to train to fly an Orca starting in may have on you?
It's the Learning skill removal ISK refund whine all over again. :Cripes:
You can complain about it being a "Capital" ship all you want, but it really isn't one. Doesn't Require Capital Ships, can't fit capital modules, doesn't even require Advanced Spaceship Command. Nowhere in its description does it say that it is a Capital ship. It is an Industrial Command Ship. And what you call it is entirely irrelevant to the discussion of your inability to understand Sunk Costs. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

A couple of points.
- From what source are you getting the fact that their cargo space is getting buffed? - If they are getting buffed, and someone with Indy 1 now gets more than the others did before with max skills, then the people with max skills will be getting a massive massive buff to the size of their cargohold. So what they hell are they complaining for?

what are you talking about? 30k is what the itty V will have at industrial I with cargo modules, that's not a buff that's just what it is. again, they aren't getting buffed, that's just what it is. |

Your original post was not clear enough to put forward the point you just put forward there, which is why I misunderstood. As for your concern about the Itty V, all haulers are being changed for tieracide and they are all going to be as useful as each other but with specialisation. So that concern is ultimately unfounded. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

None of your time was wasted. Those higher skill levels you aquired to get the Itty 4 will mean your ship bonuses for all the new specialised ships will be higher than someone training just level 1 to get them. You seem to have failed to grasp this concept despite people trying to tell you quite frequently. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

It really wasn't. As it stands only one of the Industrial ships from each race is actually useful, and that's the best one. So, for Gallente for example, there are three ships that no one aspires to using. Three completely useless ships. By changing the skill tree and by bringing in tierecide all four of the ships will be useful in their own way. The current system is rubbish, that is why they have spent so much time doing tierecide balancing so far.
Pohbis wrote:Question is, instead of trying to shoehorn industrials, transport ships, freighters and jump freighters into being same same, but different, for 4 races - why not bite the bullet, do it right, and condense them into ORE ( or another appropriate faction, like InterBus ) ships?
Although that is a tempting idea, it would mean getting the art department to redesign the appearance of every single Industrial ship, which would be a massive waste of time when they could just do it the way they are intending to do it. Also, you would be getting rid of a ship from each race which would ultimately result in less variation which is bad for everyone. Variation is good for the sandbox.

No. standardizing ships only makes things dull in the long run. In the same way that CCPs standardization of the character creation has made races almost obsolete. |

They appear to be planning on changing them all.
You're inability to comprehend the concept of Sunk Costs is simply astounding. You wasted no time whatsoever, as you received the benefit (flying the ship) that you paid (training time) for. That other people will, in several months, pay less training time to fly a similar ship (remember, CCP seems to be planning on altering them) has no bearing on you.

The thing that really annoys me is that I spent a good amount of time training up the mining barge skill for my orca alt which I will never and have never had any need for except for using the orca. I think CCP should reimburse the mining barge skill, if you still want it then you can train it back up with the free SP. |

They're not going to be reimbursing anything else. You heard the people whining about their heavy missiles being useless now and wanting reimbursements, and you wont hear people whining about wanting their capital pilot alts skill points back from all the Battleship level 4 and 5s they had to train for that they no longer need.
Many many people will be affected by similar changes. Be glad you can fly a mining barge if you ever need to and move on. All games do this, Eve is not exempt from changes that will hurt a few people's precious feelings. This is not a serious change, HTFU. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

The capital pilots (ie Me) are in exactly the same situation. You won't hear me whining about it because the overall change CCP are making is fantastic. Your whining that you had to train it to 5 and now your pissed that they are taking away that prerequisite? You are no worse off than you were before, you just pissed that newer players are going to have it slightly better than you.
You wouldn't complain about a minimum wage increase in real life because you had to work on a lower minimum wage when you started out would you? If you would, then your a ****. Wanting other people to have a worse time because you had it bad is just an ******* thing to want. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

At least BS V has some useful application in the event you need to fly a BS. And seeing as you are a capital pilot you will have all the pre requisite skills to fly a BS if needed. Mining Barge V is a skill that only a character who wanted to mine would train up for, and so absolutely no use for most players who trained for the Orca. So its completely different entirely. |

But the thing you fail miserably to understand is that that training is a Sunk Cost. It is entirely irrelevant to your future decisions. You trained it, and you received the benefit you trained to receive. Cost changes after the fact are irrelevant. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

It would be interesting if CCP gave the option after such a massive reskill as this, to rebuild your character at a cost of say 10%sp. Say there was a minor glitch with the fluid router but we got you back, mostly. Could even spin as part of the increased sleeper tech usage reacting badly with the Jovian derived bits. Actually that would be a glorious way of also explaing the tech 3 nerf that will be coming. The Sleeper tech had to be purged/downgraded lest it destroy you, much like the new anti eject option. |

I appreciate the visual distinction of the races, and could certainly live with the fact that CCP just copied the same stats on all the racial versions of these ships. I also believe however, that if CCP focused on InterBus linesof our space-trucks, that it would result in more variety and actual content.
Certainly it would put less of a strain on CCP resources if they could focus on adding 1 version, instead of 4, should they ever decide to look into this side of EVE gameplay in th future. I know I'd be willing, even if it may be hard, to give up my Battle Badger or Space Sandcrawler if it meant CCP would add some InterBus content. I'd rate that higher on the "actual variety" scale than having X number of different racial ships doing the exact same thing.

That argument can be used in many situations. For instance if you bought a car from a dealer for 10k and then a week later they dropped the price to 5k then you would be lying if you say you were happy. So the sunk cost argument is entirely dependent on the situations and cannot be applied in a blanket approach as you seem to be trying. |

Exactly. This is all about customer service. Using the example above if you paid 10k for a car and then the car was reduced to 5k a week later then you would expect it fair and good customer service for the the dealer to refund you 5k or at least a portion of the difference. It's just good customer service and I hope CCP consider something like this.

They're exactly the same. Many capital pilot alts will literally never use other ships. Many fly cap ships exclusively. In the same way, my alt is a maxed out Orca pilot... He also had to train for Mining Barge V, and he uses them a fair amount, which is the situation you are saying is true of capital pilots. Also, you really haven't added anything to your argument, your mostly just re-emphasising what you have already said. Even if what you just said was true, it wouldn't change the fact that your situation hasn't changed, and wont have changed even after the expansion and skill tree change.
Pohbis wrote: I have to ask, exactly what kind of variety is it that these racial ships provide?
Aside from the visual stuff you rightly pointed out, each race has pros and cons. For example the Fenrir is the fastest, which means you can move your stuff quicker and therefore turn over a faster profit. A similar thing applies to the Charon which has a larger cargohold, but the Charon has the lowest tank of the four and therefore is the easiest to suicide gank. The Providence has a relatively low cargohold compared to the others, however it has the largest tank of all of them and therefore is the safest to leave on autopilot. That distinction and variation is important, it adds weight to your decisions, and it adds flavour to the whole experience. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

If you cannot get it back, it is sunk, and you will only succeed in causing yourself grief by pretending otherwise.

Hahah. Ok for a start using Wikipedia to base what is right and wrong is laughable at best. Academic and psychological mumbo jumbo aside, this comes down to good customer service. Using the car example, if you went back to the dealer a week later and complained the car has been reduced half price then yes, the dealer could say tough luck and give you some sunk cost BS and link you a wikipedia article, but then you'd probably never go back to that dealer again. |

Sure. That's why CCP refunded Drone skills to Supercap pilots, Cruise Missile skills to Stealth bomber pilots, and so on. Oh, wait...
You can still Fly mining Barges, so the Mining barge skill still provides its benefit.
Go ahead. Next time you buy something that goes on sale later, try to get them to refund the difference. They'll laugh you out of the store unless they have one of those future price guarantee things (which are always advertised in advance).
Especially months or years later. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

I'm using the Wikipedia article because it's pretty clear that you have no idea what Sunk Costs actually are, and I'm hoping that you're literate enough to realize that the link is a suggestion to realize that you might want to read the article so you can learn.

I don't need to read some wikipedia article to realise what sunk costs are, its pretty obvious and a familiar and well known accepted cost to most business minded people. But what you don't seem to understand is there are limits to how far that sunk cost argument can be stretched. I also I don't base my life around the rantings of psychological academics who have just come up with the latest fad or buzz word. |

So Amazon, in accordance with a policy that they advertise when you sign a pre-order, dropped the price of something that you pre-ordered before you received the item. Thus, you argue, CCP, in direct contradiction to their stated and previously executed policy, should return SP that you spent and have received the benefit for months or years after you spent the SP and recieved the benefit.
Is that about the size of it?
Again, show me a car dealer that will give me 5 grand because my car is is on sale 6 months after I bought it. Hell, show me a car dealer that will give me the difference between my purchase price and their Christmas sale price if I buy the car the day before the Christmas sale starts. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

The Orca has been around since November 2008. You are asking for a refund on a 4 year old product while it is still in working order and you can still use it simply because it got cheaper. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Its pretty simple. People paid CCP for game time and trained up a skill which is no longer required due to CCP making fundamental changes, and in the case of mining barges was never required by many and never will be required in the future. The issue is really that simple.
Im surprised by the amount of intellectual psuedo BS posted attacking something which should be in the majority of the player bases interest. Im sure if you asked people who actually play the game and don't come on the forums then they would welcome a mining barge SP refund. |

You are asking for a refund on a 4 year old product while it is still in working order and you can still use it simply because it got cheaper.
This entire argument is ridiculous to be honest. Comparing products which you buy to training up skills in a game is only vaguely related. Despite that fact many shops will offer this kind of service. To name one shop, John Lewis in the UK will do this without advertising the fact, and I have done that myself before. They are also a highly successful UK chain well known for good customer service. The previous poster from the UK probably shops at poundland and so has come to expect poor service as standard. Also I am not a pub lord and have never owned a pub. . . . . lol |

eve isnt just some product dude it carrys a lot of time invested and is one of the only sincere mmos out there with a mature theme.

Yes exactly. Just because of this issue it doesn't mean I don't like eve and would turn my back on it. I would just be happy if CCP refunded the mining barge skill and my opinion of them would be even higher than it is now, but it wouldn't effect all the other good things about this game if they decided not to.

That is the whole point. Mining barge skill is not useful and never will be useful. I don't have any of the other related mining skills trained up and would never want to as I simply wanted to use the orca. At least with capital pilots they can jump into BS's, and HAC pilots can jump into assault frigates, and that is the difference that most people on this thread seem to not understand as the excuse that it is still a useful skill is being stated when in fact mining barge V is not useful at all in the slightest.
Also just because I feel CCP dropped the ball on this issue that doesn't mean they offer terrible customer service. Come on, just one minor mistake and you expect everyone to quit the game? |

We're not defending CCP because we're groupies, we're just tearing apart your ridiculous argument because it's crap and I can't stand to let people who are logic challenged run riot on the forum saying whatever they like.
If you get some kind of reimbursement for your Mining Barge skill then everyone will want reimbursements for the hundreds of skills people will no longer need to fly various different ships, and CCP don't have the time or resources to do that. And frankly, if they did, I would be pissed at them for not spending the money on developers to make eve better, rather than spending it on GMs who will have **** all to do after the event.
Seriously, grow some brain cells and stop thinking the world revolves around you, because it doesn't. And I don't want to hear more of this "the customers always right crap" from you, because you are a minority and most people just don't care. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

level of rig skill doesn't affect cargo capacity, and why are you using t1 expanders? if you don't want to max your cargo that's up to you. but a player with gallente industrial I can fit an itty V for over 30k cargo space.

I have a thought about orca's. It's an industrial command ship. Concentrate on the last 2 words, command ship. It's primary use should be boosting not hauling. It's the only command ship (albeit industrial) that will only require 1 form of boosting skill, the mining ones.
Why not add seige and info warfare 5 and leadership 5 to the requirements? Add some fluff about them being needed to boost the shields and targeting range of mining barges in fleet and leadership to actually be able to boost a full squadron.
A quick look on eft show this adds 30d 16h to the skill queue putting the orca back close enough to the 49 days to train it was before. |

As for being in a minority, you and about 2 others have been spamming the thread with your own opinion. Multiple posts from the same person doesn't mean you have more support.
From your posts you seem to think the purpose of the forum is to spout your views to everyone and shout down opposing views. What you do not realise is that in the process of your shouting and screaming you have yet to come up with much of a rational argument against the reimbursment of SP except for the fact that it will waste dev time. That is really a pretty lame argument against.
Only RubyPorto has actually made a rational argument against, although due to applying a blanket statement and not looking at the situation at hand there were more holes in that argument than swiss chesse.
Yourself on the other hand only seems able to shout and scream at everyone else on the forum who you don't agree with.
Maybe you should think about your behaviour on these forums, as your anger and vitriol at anyone you disagree with is not to the benefit of eve, and eve would be a better place without you behaving in this manner. The reason many people don't bother to come on the forums is because of people like yourself who will try to shout and bully and make up false statements against them, and so people just don't bother writing anything decent on these forums as the response will be akin to a group of mentally challenged apes smashing a keyboard.
I have no argument? Haha, you can talk. As for the rest of this post, I won't bother commenting. Frankly the only argument in there was "No". Which, by the way, isn't a counter. What you just did there is like, projection... although I am sure I am guilty in some part of a few of the things you accused me of there, mostly I just read that and thought you were talking about yourself.
Alright. Sum it up for me. Bullet points style, because thus far the only argument I can see that you have had is "I want my SPs back". Write out a few concise points for why you think you should get your SP back, concise mind, and I will do the same for why your arguments are ultimately lacking.

If your not willing to discuss something with people of an opposite or varying opinion, then you shouldn't be on a forum.
Also, I have not posted with any other toons or alts in this thread. Something I can say, where you can know I am not lying. In the EULA it strictly forbids anyone from pretending to be anyone other than yourself. Mostly to stop people impersonating others for the purposes of scamming.

Actually, you're looking for 'The Holocaust' rather than **** germany. (really? **** is covered by the profanity filter?) The rise of the National Socialist party, to a large degree, was caused by the post war reparations that were forced on Germany after World War 1.
Well, that and the collapse of the system by which the US lent Germany money so that Germany could pay reparations to France and Britain, who could then use that money to repay loans the US had given them during WWI.
Black Thursday caused WWII*.

Though it seems hard that the ship you can fly now took you a big ammount of time to get there. But i think is a good change to attract newer players to the game. If you try out a game you want to be able to use alot of it quick but to use it good or to its full potential it will take time.
Its a good change.
Cheers,

also i like how you made that answer with another toon to give you the feeling like u had a mate backing you up. If your not willing to discuss something with people of an opposite or varying opinion, then you shouldn't be on a forum. Also, I have not posted with any other toons or alts in this thread. Something I can say, where you can know I am not lying. In the EULA it strictly forbids anyone from pretending to be anyone other than yourself. Mostly to stop people impersonating others for the purposes of scamming. If I were lying about this, I would be risking being banned. Edit: I will be leaving this thread be. Rebecha Pucontis stupidly opened up a new thread about it in GD and is being thoroughly berated for it, so I think I will continue the argument in there. If you wish to continue debating (or start debating, rather) then you can talk it through there.
i am willing to discuss stuff with other people , just not with you because you cant behave yourself in a grown up way and your arguments are childish.

i just pointed out that you can get over 30k m3 with gallente industrial I in an itty V. which is a fact.
also the cargo modules take a trivial amount of time to train, so newbies WILL have those skills trained.
Look I'm not disputing the fact that an Itty5 can get to +30k m3 with max skills and T2 expanders and T2 cargo rigs, what you have failed to do, is prove to the rest of the community, that you can get that amount with Gallente Industrial trained to 1 and with T1 expanders and rigs. Show me your math, because you will find that your numbers are off by at least 20%. "I don't know which is worse, ...that everyone has his price, or that the price is always so low." Calvin

They have. kinda.
right now, if you can fly 1 freighter, you have around 25 days to train up the next.
Once the change goes through, if you have the skills (Advanced spaceship Control 5 being the expensive one), it'll be a few hours.
Racial Indy 3 ACS 5
rather than:
Racial Indy 5 ACS 1.
Getting into a freighter in the first place will take around the same time. But a different freighter is a /lot/ easier.

Wrong.... He didn't say unacceptable, it was "inconceivable!"
As for the changes... unless they give highe ship bonuses per skill level it has chapped my ass also. I spent a good 40+ days to train a toon to be able to use an Orca for moving crap around, etc. Didn't give a rat's **** about the boosts, don't give a rats **** about having mining barge 5. I just wanted the Orca for moving things where a freighter couldn't go, i.e. WH's.
Letting people train it that quickly is annoying as hell. Kills the value on Orca alt toons also. |

I love the fact that new pilots can get into all sorts of shiny ships (relevant to their requirements) with minimal training. Personally I love my L5's and will put them into most things I fly or do....... lower more entry levels...... give me more poorly flown expensive ships to shoot (at least when I return to the game).

WTF is this.. World of Warcraft? First, did I miss the memo where 40 days in made you a "seasoned vet"?
Secondly, while the Itty V will be usable with Gallente Industrial 1, it will be FAR BETTER with GI5. Don't view ships as your epeen, view your ability to fly them better as your epeen. |

Right up to the rebalance.
I could see some interesting options for the different transports.
Say:
A small nimble one with a corp hanger. One with a refit service. One with a large ore bay.

and after the rebalance nobody will have a reason to train the racial industrial skills past III unless you want a t2 transport ship. and considering DSTs are a rare sight and blockade runners are now a lottery ticket for gankers... not sure how many will be training for those. |

Rebecha Pucontis wrote:That is the whole point. Mining barge skill is not useful and never will be useful. I don't have any of the other related mining skills trained up and would never want to as I simply wanted to use the orca. At least with capital pilots they can jump into BS's, and HAC pilots can jump into assault frigates, and that is the difference that most people on this thread seem to not understand as the excuse that it is still a useful skill is being stated when in fact mining barge V is not useful at all in the slightest.
Also just because I feel CCP dropped the ball on this issue that doesn't mean they offer terrible customer service. Come on, just one minor mistake and you expect everyone to quit the game?
"Not useful and never will be useful"; "not useful at all in the slightest" - those are wide-ranging blanket statements. When you've got an alt drilling pyrox to build a battleship for your main, Mining Barge V does come in handy. And for a utility alt that uses an Orca as well? For that character, the skill is useful.
And how would it be done? Who would get the skill taken away, and who would keep it? There's no way of divining the reasons why a character has a skill trained up.
Look at it this way: when the Playstation 3 came out, its price was US$599. The price came down later, but the people who bought it at $599 didn't get their money back.
Currently, Mining Barge V is the "skill price" of an Orca. The "skill price" is going down this summer. Those who paid the premium solely to fly the Orca aren't getting their money back. People who weren't ready to make the investment will wait until the skill price goes down. |

not really, you were still using the orca as a miner while training to fly an orca anyway. instead of having a **** miner you end up with a **** booster instead. it really doesn't impact on fleets that much at all. |

WTF is this.. World of Warcraft? You are an idiot. Being able to sit in a ship with the skill at 1 does not make you equal to someone with that skill trained to 5. Not even close.
Being able to sit in an ORCA does not automatically grant you the ability to boost. You need many other skills for your boost to be worth anything.
Sure they can maybe use the ORCA for hauling, but what noob could afford to buy one? Sell PLEX to buy an ORCA? Sure, but when they lose it the first day, what advantage did they gain?
The skill changes are a good thing. Am am sure when the itty 5 skill changes are done the ship it self will also be changed. a noob with gal indy 1 flying an itty 5 will not be able to haul near as much as you with gal indy 5 trained. my itty 5 hauls almost 42,000m3. you will still need gal indy at 5 to haul that much after the change. If you are so butt hurt by the game being improved, then quit. |
