I don't know where to put this so i'm putting it here:
My request is simple; all i'd like is the option to inject and queue all skills no matter whether i've got the pre requisites or not.
I will explain:
On my alt i'm currently training Industry Level 5, this will be completed in 7 hours. In 7 hours i will be in bed.
When Industry 5 is done, i'd like to immediately begin training Mining Barge but i can't as i will be asleep.
Industry 5 is a prerequisite of Mining Barge; this means i cannot inject it now or place it in my queue to begin after Industry 5.
As i will be in bed, i've had to place Spaceship Command 4 to begin after Industry 5.
I don't care for Spaceship Command at this current juncture. I want Mining Barge to begin immediately as soon as my alt has the necessary prerequisites; Astrogeology 3 (done) and Industry 5.
My request is: Please, CCP, allow us to inject and queue all skills regardless of whether we have the necessary prerequisites or not.
Now, i'm not asking you to let us train them without the prerequisites, just to queue them, and, only if the prerequisites will all be trained by the time the queue reaches that particular skill.
Example:
(imagine below are some skill queues, ok?)
[Industry 5] [Mining Barge 1] [Mining Barge 2] .... etc The above being a valid skill queue
[Industry 4] [Mining Barge 1] .... etc The above, obviously, being invalid.
Basically, i want you to let us put the skill in so long as we are currently training the prerequisite skill and that they all fit.
In the event that a player puts the skill in and then pulls the prerequisite skill from the queue, you could either pull both skills or give them an error message similar to the one you get when you try to pull a Level 4 when the 5 is in the queue: "This level of the skill cannot be removed as there is a higher level of it still in the queue" except in this case the error message would be more like "This skill cannot be removed as it is a prerequisite of a skill that is still in the queue"
It wouldn't alter the game drastically, it just makes things a teeny tiny bit more convenient.
Please do it. It will make you sexy.
Thanks.

Actually, you can't inject a skill that you don't have the prerequisites for even if said prerequisite is training right now. Thus, you also cannot queue it, either. |

It would be nice if injection of all skills was allowed but training needed to be set in a certain order, sort of like industry 5 can't be trained before industry 4. Why not Mining Barge 1 can't be in the queue before it's prereqs?
That would be nice, and would let you inject skills whenever so you wouldn't have to worry about the skill book locations if you happen to move from the time you acquired it to the time you need it. |

I'd be okay with this as long as doing so forces you to complete the prerequisite - in other words injecting the dependent skill locks the prerequisite skill into the queue so you can't remove it or add any skills in front of it. Latest video - Pandemic Legion titan and supers killed |

OP, the problem is books: you must have a book injected to train it.
Otherwise CCP has to allow placing books in the queue. That leads to an even more complex problem of removing books from the queue: example, what if you are in a pod. Also book smuggling. |

I would not be opposed to allowing skills to AT LEAST be injected (just not trained) if there prerequisites arent trained yet.
however i would be iffy on the queueing skills with their prereqs, not that im against it, just that the "slippery slope" crowd will look for any excuse to start complaining. |

Honestly it's not difficult to plan a skill queue when you know what you want to do.
Here's a hint, always put in the skills you NEED to train at the front of the queue to meet any pre-requisites of skills further down the queue. ie you want to train Mining Barge, the first skills you train are the ones like Industry, Science, Mining, Mining Frigate, then you can move on to Astrogeology and Mining Barge - that way the pre-requisites are already trained before it's an issue.

I need Drones V to train Drone Interfacing. I need Drone Interfacing V to train Fighters. I need Fighters V to train Fighter Bombers.
I don't need any other drone skills and am on a Willpower/Perception remap as Drone Interfacing V, Fighters V and Fighter Bombers V take a while to train.
Fighters V will finish training in 12:20h, a time when I know I will not be at home to inject the Fighter Bombers skillbook,

Let me start by mentioning how amused I am by the amount of moronic spew in this thread. Actually most threads. Must be the season of anger or something.
As to the OP. It is a good idea in theory and would certainly make the game easier for the players. The problem is that it would be a nightmare to code for the relatively small benefit it would provide.
But really, just go to sleep and let the skill run out. Then inject the one you want when you wake up. A few hours of an inactive queue is not worth having an episode over. There are a lot more important things to get wound up about than getting palpitations because your skill training is paused for a few hours.
Mr Epeen  There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |

One simple option would be to have the training of level 1 of the skill in the queue, then the skill queue manager can (just!) fish around in the character's inventory to look for the appropriate skill book somewhere within the character's current reach (ship's hold, current station's item hangar would be the two obvious places).
of course I'm sure any CCP Dev reading this would see "fish around in the character's inventory" and have a chuckle to themselves, "like it's that simple." Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

Really, I see no reason why this couldn't be done.
In Evemon, if you drop a skill you haven't got the prerequisites to into the list, it pops up an information box telling you it is also adding in those prerequisites. Likewise, if you remove a skill that is a prerequisite to another in the list, it pops up an information box saying its also removing the skills that require that skill. Can't imagine that adding this feature would be too hard.
The obvious barrier is the book system as has been mentioned before. But personally, I don't see a problem with allowing the injection of books that you can't train - it should definitely pop up a warning box informing you that you can't train this skill yet, giving you a chance to change your mind, and the skill could then appear red in the skill list, as a reminder. But in principle, being forced to leave books lying around til you've trained the skill doesn't add much to the game (it would likely reduce the amount of skillbooks being carried in cargo, and therefore ganked, but I doubt many people buy skills too far ahead of time, and if they do, they probably keep them where they buy them). |

As far as I understand things the OP want requirements to change from being the basis for injection to being the basis for training start. In absolute I'd say why not ? Seeing as a level 0 skill has not yet been learned at all, it would make sense that a skill can be pre-injected and pre-put into the skill queue, with an error message and lost training time if the requirements are not met.
But there would be other consequences, in a domino effect, in Eve there always is. |

To be honest, I've run in to this myself as well. Can't inject and queue a skill because the prerequisite is the skill that's about to finish. It used to bother me, now I realize it's just a game, and missing out on 4 hours of training time isn't the end of the world. Back in the day, we didn't have a training queue at all. You had to physically change it every single time. Consider yourself lucky. :)
In all seriousness. What you did is what most people would do. Just queue something from the same attribute mapping, that's further down your skill plan. You can always inject the skill when you get up. |

The issue is that having changed the skills there are people who are flying ships which do not have the requirements trained up, such as Command ship which require all the command skills to V. So the management of this would have to bear that in mind, will get messy...

As far as I remember all kind of gear that need a skill to use need at least the first level in this skill, having a skill injected and at the zero level does not allow someone to use the item, one need to train at least the very first level to use the thing. And in the OP idea the requirements are still there, but for training and not for injecting. |

Honestly it's not difficult to plan a skill queue when you know what you want to do.
Here's a hint, always put in the skills you NEED to train at the front of the queue to meet any pre-requisites of skills further down the queue. ie you want to train Mining Barge, the first skills you train are the ones like Industry, Science, Mining, Mining Frigate, then you can move on to Astrogeology and Mining Barge - that way the pre-requisites are already trained before it's an issue.
I need Drones V to train Drone Interfacing. I need Drone Interfacing V to train Fighters. I need Fighters V to train Fighter Bombers. I don't need any other drone skills and am on a Willpower/Perception remap as Drone Interfacing V, Fighters V and Fighter Bombers V take a while to train. Fighters V will finish training in 12:20h, a time when I know I will not be at home to inject the Fighter Bombers skillbook, Teach me how to EFT. Sure thing: You should have left carrier V for the in-betweens. Or cloaking, or JDC V or whatever. Any of those you can train partially whenever you can't squeeze in the next skill. Then replace them when you are online again.
I have been in similar situations and was mildly annoyed that I couldn't put in a skill that I'm missing the prerequisites for, but let's be honest: There is always something useful that you haven't trained yet. |

Well, fun fact is that EVE characters do not have brains as they are numbers in a database. Nonsensical to argue otherwise.
But try applying that logic on real life people for a moment and you will see something really silly. You wouldn't be allowed to consume knowledge (be taught / learn) if you do not fulfill the criteria that leads to that specific knowledge, i.e. high-level math before you learn programming.
The current design of learning skills in EVE is nothing but a level requirement of sorts. Allow me to be frank. You will not like me. You will not like me now, and you will not like men++ a good deal less as we go on. |

Of course, I know exactly zero about coding, and I'm not the sort to pretend otherwise for arguements sake, so I wouldn't know how small or large a job it would be to move the prerequisite check from 'on injection' to 'on insert lv1'.

True, but how many skill books are really being carried around by the intended end user? Traders, sure, all the time. My skillbooks get picked up by my highsec alt and shipped to the border of null so I can dart in, get injected, and get out again, and those would still be carried, since i don't want my hauler alt injecting my Black ops or Dreadnaught skillbook thanks. My future supercap alt is sat in a school station with a pile of books in his hanger, so i don't need to worry about transferring isk about, but those books will never leave that station uninjected. But if you live in and around the school systems or Jita, I sincerely doubt someone (sane) would buy a skill in advance and carry it around for a week til they can inject. |

That is something I have wanted for years. If they did it, I would be happy. CCP let us inject the skill, and add it to the que to begin training when the required skill/s finish training. It does make sense.

So this would be something non sensical to have. Doesnt fit into the lore. It makes sense if you think of level0 skill as character's general awareness that this skill exists and what it is about, but not actual specifics that allow him to that knowledge to good use. Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks. |
