Omnathious Deninard Novis Initiis 2943	Posted - 2015.07.02 13:18:09 - [1] - Quote I would like to chime in on rookie skills, you should look at the bonuses that are presented on the rookie ships. Give newbros the skills to actually use the bonuses on there ships. I am not my PC do I don't recall what they are off hand. But it would be a great step towards NPE skill improvement.

She has plenty of room for improvement, but she could contribute to any fleet right now. Or go have some fun with RvB. Or whatever floats her boat (or sinks it!). With some specialization, she can branch towards different professions, without being pushed in one direction or another. Decent list of skills but does not give the new player the skills to go anywhere they want to go, it is heavily geared toward fleet PVP, and nothing else, and TBH it is too much and might get overwhelming. Rivr Luzade wrote: Instead, if you start as an Amarr char, you should -- if at all -- be able to fly an Amarr ship properly. Or if they start as Caldari, they should be able to fly a Caldari frig properly. Mixing these things up right from the start is not going to be helpful. With this way, they are not only capable of flying a ship "well", they also learn the racial differences that exist. And with some guidance via tutorials/opportunities/hints to proper video tutorials from players, they can learn what which race and their ships can do and cannot. I agree that this is a much better way to handle new player skills. They also dont need a bunch of skills already to level 3~4 part of the skilling system is to teach patience, and for the most part level 1 will get you a taste of a module.

Team Size Matters discussed removing them on the o7 show (or some other public venue) awhile back and it's still something we are very interested in. We need to figure out a good way to handle all the learning implants in the game though, which is actually a difficult problem. If any of you have awesome ideas for how to handle it don't hesitate to make suggestions. This is the second worst idea. Attributes is the only thing that reminds me D&D system. They are nothing like the D&D system, they're only purpose is to determine how fast a player can do something and if players can't do something then they aren't going to keep playing for long.

Omnathious Deninard Novis Initiis 2945	Posted - 2015.07.03 22:37:42 - [4] - Quote I would to take a moment and talk about the Drones skill. Whilst it is only a 1x skill for a new player wanting to use a Tristan a 5 day wait to use it's primary weapon system is a bit too much. IMO drones should all get another 10% damage nerf and the drone skill changed to a 2% damage per level. Then just make it so that all players can use 5 drones.

Omnathious Deninard Novis Initiis 2949	Posted - 2015.07.04 11:48:07 - [5] - Quote Kenrailae wrote: EDIT: Drones allows additional drones per level. It isn't useless. And it trains quick. For a vet, for a new player with a 14 day trial and wanting to use a drone ship during that time it is 1/3 of their game time. Imagine if the gunnery skill was changed to allow the fitting of 1 turret per level, this is also combined with the fact that you will also still have hardpoints on your ship limiting how many you can fit on a particular ship. It is a legacy skill and needs to be updated, drone control should be an aspect of each hull much like turret or launcher hardpoints. Roleplaying Trinkets for Explorers and Collectors
Omnathious Deninard Novis Initiis 2950	Posted - 2015.07.04 15:07:09 - [6] - Quote Rivr Luzade wrote: You do not need the full potential of a ship in the trial to find out whether you like the game or not. If that was the goal, you'd need to give all newbies Frigs V, Weapons V and so on. Not saying full potential, but players should be able to use there frigates for there intended role from the start of the game, not several days to weeks later. They don't need advanced fitting skills as most ships can be fit using t1 modules with all skills set to 0. They should get their racial e-war skill to level 1, racial remote assistance skill to level 1, should be able to fit a MWD and AB, racial tanking skills to at least level 1, propulsion jamming to level 1, and be able to use both racial weapon systems. They should also get some light industry skills, Astrometrics, hacking, archeology, and salvaging skills, a couple levels in Trade to get them started in the market too. This should give them a good idea of what they can do in the game as well as provide them with some options of making isk. It would be no where near 2m skill points though which is fine IMO, there are plenty of things to do and ways to play without having tons of skills. Roleplaying Trinkets for Explorers and Collectors
Omnathious Deninard Novis Initiis 2950	Posted - 2015.07.04 15:12:20 - [7] - Quote Corraidhin Farsaidh wrote: ... What my main point is, the drone skills is inconsistent with how every other weapon in the game is handled for fitting purposes. Drones have bandwidth which represents hardpoints, but also requires additional skills to use said bandwidth. Restating my example. Imagine if the gunnery skill was changed to allow the fitting of 1 turret per level, this is also combined with the fact that you will also still have hardpoints on your ship limiting how many you can fit on a particular ship.

Omnathious Deninard Novis Initiis 2951	Posted - 2015.07.05 16:51:02 - [8] - Quote I think newbros simply need to skills to use there racial frigates from day one, they done need to be able to fit them well but at least use there basic functions with out any additional skilling.
