i think you guys should review the complete set of drone skills.

Just took another quick look and its full inconsistencies.

example:
scout drone operation -> (scout?) drone range (is the description even correct? doesn't count for heavies?)
combat drone operation -> light + medium dps (heavy drones are no combat drones?)
heavy drone operation -> dps
sentry drone interfacing -> dps
electronic warfare drone interfacing -> drone range for all drones

thanks for listening, much appreciated

Starship Piloting instead of Starship Command:

For this particular point we wanted to distinguish the skill and the group so they do not overlap - it also ties on other plans we have on the future. However, we hear you, agreed it sounds less appealing than the one we have currently - we'll discuss this point internally again.

Haven't read through it but off the top of my head I can mention that electronic warfare drone interfacing should be split into two skills, one for increasing control range that does not require electronic warfare skill but instead drones level 5. And another skill for controlling electronic warfare drones, that require drones level 5 and electronic warfare level 4.

And many skills, fex target painting, is rather backwards. Target painting skill should improve target painter effectiveness, and another skill should decrease its cap use ("Efficient target painting" lets say, and variations on that name for the rest of the equipment). The target painting skill would then be in electronics and efficient target painting would be in engineering along with the rest of the efficient cap use skills. Similar skills should be for afterburners, microwarpdrives, microjumpdrives respectivlely. Spin-up time improves in MJD skill, cap use in its engineering skill, speed increases in AB skill, cap use in its engineering skill, microwarpdrive can have a signature radius decrease while MWD is active as a skill that requires L5 MWD skill, and the MWD skill increases speed, its engineering skill decreases cap use, or perhaps just it just reduces cap size penalty, or both, or two skills, one for each. Each skill should be more singular in purpose and effect, but without being just stacked mile high in sequential skill requirements. Because the whole point of Eve is that we can't train Everything, and have to specialize in what we train. But we can't specialize enough because skills have too many effects per skill (the more effects they have the longer it takes to train them, and that limits specialization. Its like if every biologist had to take three engineering PhD's before becoming a biologist because the curriculum happens to have 3 times more engineering than biology).

Just my five kroners on the subject.

you forgot "Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing". It has nothing to do with ewar or even with the other interfacing skills, it adds drone control range.

Off topic post removed. Please do not post non-eve related videos.

EWAR Drone Interfacing IS a pre-req for EWAR drones (which happens to add control range as a side effect).

He's right. An acronym is, by definition, an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word. CPU is an abbreviation.

Please for the love of christ Ytterbium, learn how to spell armour properly.

You don't need to encourage the savages who have decimated the second most widely spoken language in the world.

which makes it even worse

Your empire had its day. The language is OURS now!

Please explain to me how the names are broken?
Might it be a little confusing? Yeah, but I don't see how it's broken, I can still train the skills just fine. I personally don't see how having to read the description means its broken.

As for fixing things, really? Sure they're renaming a few things to become easier to understand, great makes sense no arguements here, doesn't effect me in the slightest, but I can't really argue about the change when it makes sense. But take for example the PI skills they're scattering them across multiple catagories. How is this helpful or useful?
