I got this idea that might make EVE characters a bit more fun and personal.
When you reach level 5 in a certain skill or a certain combination of skills you will unlock a special ability randomly selected from a pool of abilities related to those skills.
For exampel:
Navigation 5 might unlock special ability "asymetric roll" makes the ship harder to track(works like a tracking disrupter) but due to the massive G-forces of the manuevers the ships takes structural damage
Nifty in a fight when you feel the need to avoid a few shots maybe?
Another exampel Sharpshoting 5 might unlock something like "precision shooting" rate of fire decreases but a chance to penatrate shield armor to hull for a small chance of doing hull damage on target. Eg. targeting the really weak spots on the ship.
These special abilities one can activate maybe lika a module in the GUI have a cycle and recharge time etc.
Every ability should a advantage but also a penalty for balance.
The idea is basicly to give the characters something special to give them a more personal feeling 
Think of abilities like afterburner overcharging, mining lasers overclocking, nanobot replication, drone thruster modifications.

I dont like random, Cause when i think what the game does with random things lets Say the BPO pool, i shiver at what would happen with this...

Sounds good.
Guess CCP could tie this in with their new mini-professions.

It doesnt have to be random. One could choose from a few different options
And for the mini-professions yeah that would be nice. When you get hacking 5 maybe one could get a special ability like "Multi thread hacking" Hacks much faster but risk to destroy the object (good if pirates are closing in and the clock is ticking)
Or perhaps "Advanced layer analysis" Chance of gaining information of another site containing hackable objects, but at risk of alerting security and pirates spawn on top of you

Mining 5 + Astro 5 + Connections 5 = Carebear Love Hug 
Gunnery 5 + Warp scramming 5 = OMGZ A PIRANT formation
Good idea actually, might spice it up. IMO there should be more specialized stuff regardless of skill, Eve is too much of a point-to-point transit sim as it is. Doing something with the otherwise pretty useless mini profession skills is also cool.

Hehe skill affect might be something like chance of gaining double scrambling strength for a limited while, but all mails from victims will be with CAPS since they will be angrier! Yarrrr

This is a great idea to add a new dimention to the game. As long as the special skills arnt too overpowered as to incite more whining from people about how they can never catch up(i dont know how much more i can stand).
