U think its unforgiving because u think fleets cant be boosted without links. But in about ten minutes u can have both leadership trained and one or more of the warfares trained and boost ur fleet.

Its actually really quick and easy to get into.

Know what would be a great change. Letting dessys (or a t2 one) load a boost so a fairly new crew could roam with a small gang and have their boosts keep up. Call them aegis destroyers (heh arent they command destroyers irl neways??)

Less than a day to get them all to level II so 10% bonus on each area.

You are just haggeling now - dismissing 2%, yet your suggestion leaves 2% boost out in the end to get the mods earlier, so what's it gonna be - double standard ?

And you are also dismissing my whole post and ignore the fact, that all you said is unrelated; just overlook what disproves you, thats the way to go.

Again, leading a fleet, commanding a fleet and boosting a fleet are different things. I know not a single person that does all 3 (in a Combat fleet). Most professional FCs don't even do the first 2, yet you want everything and easier for beginenrs to be able to do, which veterans not only refuse to do, but with good reason. And you want to change the whole system to submit to that delusional wish. -Yeah, way to go

I thought this was done

I was dismissing the argument that training leadership I and warfare I was useful at all. It allows you to boost a squad of 2 people with 2% armor or whatever.

Its typical progression. u start small with little power but increase in size and power with more training. it takes mere minutes to get leadership and a warfare skill to level one, and therefore mere minutes to start having an effect. But if u want more power u can spend more time training.

its the same for weapons
its the same for ships
its the same for e-war
its the same for mining
its the same for industry

To say training leadership and a warfare to level 1 isnt useful is like saying training launcher operation and rockets to level 1 isnt useful and we should reduce the training time of getting to T2 rocket launchers.

Most of the FCs I know do all 3. Even if you want to FC the fleet while having someone else as the fleet booster, you're still required to have the appropriate FC level for them to provide boosts, which is what the second suggestion covers with reducing the Wing Command requirement for the person to train the FC skill sooner.

The bonus of the "long" train is that it empowers your FLEET. Not just you. You have any idea how long it took me to get all skills to V, including command ship on my main guy. It was a CHOICE for me to take the time to train those skills which allows a lot of other people to NOT have to train those skills. Boost skills are a VERY specialized branch to go down and because of that it is not required for everyone in game to train them. Leadership 5 for a majority of ppl is high enough. 5 Wing command V players per fleet and 1 Fleet command V per fleet.
Fleet boosting and warfare in general is not about 1 individual. If you choose to be a booster its YOUR choice and believe me your fleet mates will love you all the more for it even if you have to sacrifice training something else.

11 months including remap and +5 implants (if you talk all races). And yes.

And my argument is not that the training time overall is too long, simply that you cannot really do anything until everything is at level 5. The proposed changes simply let a person boost a fleet with lesser boosts earlier while still retaining the same time and bonuses at all 5s.

As someone currently doing this grind, I fully support this idea. It'd really empower people to try their hand at FCing - having to get everything to IV instead of V means that you don't have to sink five months into a specific remap to even try it.
