Originally by: Cykles WEll, I'm a Noob. And i've been reading this thread, and thought i'd throw my noobish perspective on this. Take it for what it's worth right, cause i am just a noob...
But i'm coming up on ym second full month of game play. Now i'm not going to go into some silly mathmatics on time versus time of learning skills etc. and write out graphs, or pie-charts, i'm not even going to make an adhoc poll. I'm just gonna give my experience thus far.
I haven't trained any learning skills, untill this morning. Didn't see much point to, at the time. And where am i now ? Well, i'm at about 1.1 million skill points. I have a huge selection of skills in Engineering and in Electronics. I am currently flying Ferox BC. and am doing fairly well if might say so. I've even Won, a few PvP fights. Yay for my team, right ? I also have some decent gunnery and missile skills for a guy thats been playing a month and a half.
Right now, i'm working towards a Battleship. Why ? Cause well, doesn't everyone want a bad ass B.S. ? Maybe not, i do anyways...
Because of the time requirements of 8 days to reach Cruiser 4, so that i can finally start learning the BS pilot skill.. I should mention i already meet all other requiremnts. So anyways, i just today started training any learning skills, to help knock some time off.
So, basicly im over a million SP into the game, working my way through to some big ships, and can already pilot a few decent ones, and JUST started training learning skills.
In my opinion ( noobly as it may be ) i don't feel the least bit hindered by this " learning skill " set up. I really don't see, again as a noob, how new players are harmed by NOT training them immediatly through either a lack of knowing what they do, or through an urgencyy to just do " stuff. " Like i said, i feel i'm fairly far along, as a new player and haven't but recently delved into learning skills.
In short, in my perhaps under-inform opinion, i don't see any problems with whats in action now. Infact, i see them not as a mandate for immediate learning, but as an " hey, after you can finally do 'stuff' look into these " skills group.
Absolutely well said.
You don't have to do the learning skills immediately.
When I started play, many years ago, I trained the learning skills up to around level 3 or so, and then did "more useful" piloting skills, until I felt I needed to train up the learning skills further.
If anything the newer players have it easier than I did. We had no implants, ships/modules etc... were 100% to 300% more expensive than they were now.
