Hi,
Just returning to the game after a 3/4 month abscence (not to long) and have just read the blog on ship skill changes that are due in the Summer. I'm finishing my Cap training soon and wanted to look at Command Ships.
The blog about them is somewhat vague in relation to the parts that concern me and I wanted to ask for some advice.
This is the comment in the blog and I'll like the picture too...
Command Ships
- Racial Cruiser 5 requirement swapped for racial Battlecruiser 5
- Generic and old Battlecruiser skill removed from the Command Ship skill
- Heavy Assault Ships skill requirement removed from Field Command Ships (Absolution, Nighthawk, Astarte, Sleipnir)
- Logistics skill requirement removed from Fleet Command Ships (Damnation, Vulture, Eos, Claymore)
- Information Warfare 5 skill added as requirement for the Command Ship skill
- Armored Warfare 5 skill added as requirement for the Command Ship skill
- Siege Warfare 5 skill added as requirement for the Command Ship skill
- Skirmish Warfare 5 skill added as requirement for the Command Ship skill

Now, from what I can make out, the Warfare training alone is around a 145 days training and they ALL seem to be required for ANY of the Command Ships, regardless of fleet or field class.
I currently have all racial cruisers to 5 and I also have Battle Cruisers to 5.
Here are my questions:
- Am I right about the training requirements for the Warfare skills? Are they ALL required and is it around 145?
- If I trained Command Ships to level 5 immediately and did NOT train the warfare skills, would I be given the racial Battlecruiser skills to 5 when the change takes place? (I beleive I would based on the comments about ignoring the pre-requisits if the main skills is trained, COmmand 1 in this case).
- Currently the FIELD command ships themselves require the Heavy Assault Ships to L4. However, the Command ship SKILL itself does not require this. If I was to NOT train the HAC's to 4 (I probably would), but train Command Ships to 5, would I be able to fly all the Command ships come the change?

Thanks for the quck reply, but I'm not sure I understand it.
My questions are based around ensuring I can fly Command Ships without having to put 150 days or so into the Warfare links.
I'm not sure how the BC skill is relevant to my original question. Have I missed something?

thanks guys..... I understand now.
One more question though. If I took Command Ship skill to level 1 and no further (and I currently have BC+all racial cruisers to 5) does that mean after the patch I can just push it up to five afterwards in no rush?
What I'm trying to get at I guess is to know if I have to max out before the patch or just take it to level one and then put the remain four levels in at my leisure.

Great......
thank you all so much.... much clearer now.
I'll put points into Command Ships now to take advantage of the lack of warfare link requirement and then when the change the requirements I won't need the logi/hac skills.
Cheers! |

Am i missing something? I went to inject the Command SKill this morning, in line with this thread, and it turns out that it requires Warfare Link 4.
