You're not getting anything new. I think the reason he's asking is because, IIRC, the level requirement for cruisers is going down from 4 to 3. So if you only train cruisers to 3, you CAN'T fly the battlecruisers now, but you would, supposedly, be able to fly them then. I'm talking about the gaining of an entire LVL 5 and all the corresponding SP that will bring - I assume it isn't going to count as a '0 SP' skill if you qualify for it when the changes come around? EDIT: In fact, in my case 3 LVL 5 skills. Yeah, assuming you get the full "reimbursement" you get 6,144,000 SP, but so what? You're not getting anything that you didn't already have before, technically. The only real difference is that you won't have to retrain skills to fly the ships you currently can, and your clone might cost more than it does now. I'm getting SP that people who later start the game won't - they will have to train them like we did. Assuming the skills will still have the same multiplier, we're talking 20-25 days to train it depending on implants - PER LVL 5. Three of them. I haven't read the blog in detail, it may be the case that the skills will actually have a lower multiplier and as such are quicker to train?
You are definitely overthinking this. All of those extra SP don't allow you to do anything you couldn't already do.
Read this dev blog
People who are new to the game will have to train each of them individually, this is true, but there are many other things that are changing to make things easier for newer players as well.
For instance, new characters will only have to train to 3 to move on to the next ship type instead of training to level 4 in a ship type they are not interested in. Also, All tech 2 ships requiring skill training conditions from other tech 2 ships will be cut. This will make it easier for new pilots to get into some T2 ships. |
