U are right, that's why I am talking about partial recompensation

But y I am punished for that? Y I have to spend 4x times more than they? Because I am younger? Newer players already heavily disadvantaged

It made exactly no sense, as mining barges are still in the game and the skill still affects them. This thread makes just as little sense as we knew about the destroyer / battlecruiser changes last summer and had plenty of time to take appropriate action.

I thought about this, but in what way does this benefit you over just training skills you would have used in the first place, unless it's just to save a remap. You'll only get back the number of skill points you could have trained in that amount of time anyway.

Im two months old. How was I supposed to plan it on time?

Personally I'd rather see the whole SP and training system scrubbed or at least totally overhauled.

Exactly. That's what I'm pointing at. This change itself hits those who have Dessy V and BC V quite a bit but even harder those who don't.

This, I don't think OP even understands the skill changes at all.

It's not free SP. The time was already spent on training it.

Noobs/newer players deserve some love too.

Having more skill points in total is not necessarily a good thing.

Being able to spend your skill points much more efficiently from this point on is always a good thing.

Just as I expected I don't get any support. Mostly fail posts from fail veterans who is trying to celebrate their victory over one person. Why? Because there almost no new players in this game.

Ship skills are far from useless. Being able to fly all races makes u flexible and able to join different corporations with different doctrines.

" Omg. **** u didn't train all skills on time? Haha fail! We planned all ahead and u didn't. NOOB!

pretty sure if the OP stops whining, and updates their skill queue, they could probably get all racial frigs to IV, all racial cruisers to III, destroyers to V, and battlecruisers to IV before june 4th.

It boils down to the fact that training will be much easier for new pilots, especially since new pilots need to specialize to be effective.

Meanwhile, it will be much hard for older pilots to cross train into different racial ships.

Pretty much the exact opposite of what you believe to be the case.

If you are too ignorant to understand this, I don't know what to tell you.

I want official CCP response.

I'm not supposed to do anything. I pay for this game as everyone else. But I see that I'm put into disadvantageous position over older players by CCP change (concerning combat ships) and I don't like. All posts like 'deal with it' are not valid here. I want official CCP response.

But EVE players played EVE too much and so here all I get is: 'EVE is harsh. Deal with it. etc.'
U guys forgot that EVE just a game.

On June 4, you will have it - despite having never trained it. As a result, you will be able to fly 3 Amarr battlecruiser-class ships.

You also don't have Caldari Battlecruiser V right now. You don't have it, you can't train for it.

OP does not have Amarr Battlecruiser V trained right now. She doesn't have it, she can't possibly train it.

On June 4 . . . still won't have it. Doesn't get the gift that you are getting - a brand new skill - and it is a gift, as you did not train all four racial battlecruisers up to V. that would take months that you did_not_spend training.

However, you get the equivilant of three free racial skills - while OP is faced with months of additional training (that you did not have to do) in order to match your variety of battlecruisers.

Hence, the need for free SPs to allocate at will.

Wish some of the more prevalent forum trolls would find better hobbies though

These changes have been known about and announced for something like 6-8 months.
Even if you started a char on the day it was first talked about you could EASILY have BC and Dessie 5 by now.

My intention was to beeline the +5S but this change for odyssey changed that.

Of course I'm going to buy a PLEX when im going to get 6m million additional skill points which is what 3-4 months of subscription charges?

You'd be daft not too...

How do u detect my bitterness? Telepathy? More likely just a bold phrase (all your phrases are bold actually)

Instead of trying to give reasons why you haven't trained them start looking into possibilities that will get them trained. By getting these trained you will save yourself about 90 days worth of training on all the iv and v racial cruiser training by my calculations, correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think I'm gaining skill points; I am gaining skill points and therefore time. Fact.

I agree with you that you should do what you enjoy, not try min/max for the sake of it. It is a game. However, my personal circumstances, work etc. and my "long term" view on EVE accommodates the approach I'm currently taking with my skill plan. But that might not necessarily be the right choice for others.

Thank you for responses. Some of you called me moron/thick-headed/fail-planner etc others gave in-depth explanations which I additionally thank for to voice of reason

GǪand then there's the whole training time vs. speed gain to consider. It's not quite as large an affect as the ISK, but it's one to consider nevertheless.

The difference in skill training between +3 and +5 implants is 767,250 SP, and that training earns you a training speed increase of 180 more SP per hour (assuming you get a set that always cover what you're going to train). That means it takes 4260 hours / 177 days to earn back the time spent on training the Cybernetics skill.

Instead of talking, you guys should start shooting him.

Then, he could make another thread whining about how unfair it is
that people kill him because he has an opinion.
