No.

I couldnt fly a command ship, and didnt train specifically for free points either.

I did train BC to lvl5 thinking I wouldnt mind flying comand ships down the track, and looked at the training required and found it wasnt unreasonable. I also find BC class quite a good fit for what I do.

Now, I have to train all the diferent branches of the warfare links to fly one. I had no intention of doing this previously. I had a specific purpose in mind for my comand ship that I could have achieved in a quarter of the time it is now going to take.

Im not crying, but im not going to be flying a command ship in the future either, and if that means I lose interest in the game and no longer play, that is also my decision.

No.

TLDR - I didn't read the dev blogs nor creep the forums (or my own corpmates) to figure out what this meant.

It's just some warefare links people...command ships are supposed to have them anyway :S

I have a theory; call it a conspiracy if you want. All of these dozens of people complaining that they could fly a command ship before the patch but not after... I call BS on that!! (I don't mean battleships) Honestly, they didn't even try to undock, instead they ran to the forums to complain??

Here is what really happened. They donGÇÖt own a command ship and donGÇÖt plan to fly one. They knew about the skill change, knew about the claim that GÇ£if you can fly a ship today you can fly it tomorrowGÇ¥ and figured it was an easy way to get some free skill points. They trained up to the level to inject the Command Ships skill before the patch, expecting that after the patch they would magically have all the Leadership skills now requirement for Command Ships. They see that they donGÇÖt and start complaining.

Or people just do an 'info' on the command ships in the market or in their assets tabs and freak out when they see "Total Training Time : 42d 10h 9m 34s" on the Prerequisites tab. (Which is due to not having the secondary skills requirements met, however, you only need the primary skills in order to fly the ship.)

I didn't own a command ship. I didn't have any immediate plans to fly one. I knew about the skill change.
I didn't expect any free skill points.
What I did expect was that if I trained for and injected the command ships skill prior to the patch (and trained it to 1) I would be able to fly any command ship after the patch. Seeing as CCP intends CS to be more useful in combat roles, I decided that while I don't intend to use them for providing boosts any time soon, I might decide that their combat roles are worth pursuing.

So now I can fly all the CS with very minimal training involved.

No you don't.
