I think your estimate is off a bit.

However, I'll be putting it into HIC V and probing skills.

Noooooooooooooo it doesn't work that waaaaayyyy

You only get skill points in your allocation pool if you have the Destroyers / Battlecruisers skill, but nothing in the Frigates / Cruiser skills. Otherwise we'll just duplicate the skills, you don't get to spend anything.


From the blog:

• Removal and refund of all Destroyers and Battlecruisers skill books at the NPC order price.
• Partial skill training will be properly be saved and duplicated. If you are halfway between Destroyers 3 and 4 when the change hits, your progress will be properly copied to all the racial Destroyer skills you are eligible for.
• If, for some odd reason, you have Destroyers and/or Battlecruisers skills, but have no Racial Frigate/Cruiser 3 at all, then the skill points will be moved in the free allocation pool when the old skills are removed.
• Skill queues having Destroyer and/or Battlecruiser in-training will be paused at the time of the change. If you expect to be away for a long time when the reimbursement hits, please make sure you donGÇÖt train either of these skills.

office betting pool, he put money on having to explain it fifty times

skill changes seem to cause a lot of confusion though, moreso than other changes. i think it's just a topic that's generally harder to grasp

Am I missing something? I am able to fly a command ship right now, but I do not have the warfare skills to 5. Under the "if you could fly it before...." rule, does that mean I will be given the appropriate skills points to raise those warfare skills to 5? I would like to know so I can plan accordingly.

NVM the above. Question was answered. The prereqs are only required if you haven't injected the skillbook yet.
