I m a somewhat new player to EVE, my character has some odd 5.5 mil SP and here is the deal. Right after Revelation patch I set learning mechanic and survey to level 5 to enable me to get salvaging. I spent whole week of geting these next to totally uselless skills and as soon as I learn them the requirements for salvaging are lowered. So I spent 1 week learning skills which I do not need. Ok **** happens. And lowering requirements for salvaging is a good thing. But how about a possiblity to convert some unnecessary skills to SP, maybe for a fee. I know this is possible in many other MRPGs why not give it a shot in EVE?

Such a change wouldn't reflect the state of affairs in the real world; many times new technology comes out which means something you have learnt is redundant (I was taught many programming languages at school all of which are now extinct), you just have to roll with it.
Oh and by the way, snap, i have the same sp as you. This game has the logest period of noob status of anything ive come across gaming wise.

Respecs would be awful nice. I'm sure I could reassign some of the wasted skills I learned back when I was a noob and didn't know any better. Would be nice, but never gonna happen.

Oh man, I would LOVE a respec. Right now my skills are half minmatar ships, half gallente ships, half shield tanking, half armor tanking, half gunnery, half missiles.
If I had just gone straight minmatar or gallente I would probably be flying T2 fitted Battleships by now.

Mechanics 5 is far from "totally useless". Neither is Survy 5, come to that.

Survey 5 isn't bad either it aids your scanning times.
Mechanic 5 is useful for t2 ships, for the bonuses it gives you and is required for the skills needed to access R&D agents. Stop whining for the sake of whining.

having survey 5 will help while salvaging wrecks, i believe (although, i may be wrong) that it reduces scan time of the salvager module.
Actually, i`m wrong, Survey doesn't reduce the scan time

They may be useless skills to you currently, but I've had mechanic 5 for a while as it is required for Assault Ships, and Assault ships is required for Heavy Assault Ships... so yeah, I only minded the training up survey, even though it's been on my list of skills to get, because I want Archaeology...
Really, it depends on where you want your character to go, and as for useless skills, the only ones I hate are Learning :)

Jiekon, haven't you learned to stop posting? :P
Actually in this case though, you are actually right :eng101:
The fact that you can use Survey to loot wrecks faster will be the skill that separates the true Salvagers from the Wanna-bes.

I am a somewhat new player to eve, my character had just bought a nice shiney Raven, with some really cool named launchers, and a bunch of named shield mods. Right after I jumped into the Utopia system from Doril, I got killed by some barbarians that live there... I think it was Lopez and Pham, and Tzaiwyn... OK, **** happens.. and letting them defend their claimed territory is a good thing. But how about a possibility to sneak back in to Utopia and... grab my disabled Raven, with all the gear still on it.. I know this is possible in many other MRPG's why not give it a shot in EVE?

seperate the boys from the man
i disagree with skills backtraining
in some other topic about it somebody wrote "the skills you have trained reflect your history in eve" and i quite agree with the guy who said that
when you have 50 mil sp, fly cariers and dreads, roam arround in faction bs, you will look at your skilltree, see survey level 5 and smile remembering this topic

If you want to be strong in gunnery in the future, expect to train all 4 of the rank 2 gunnery skills up to L5. Well worth the time.

my guess would be that in the long run learning any skill is not waste of time and will make you feel greatful that you invested the time in training it
i have just over 1.5m sp and despite the temptation i am concentrateing on getting learning / advanced learning skills up to lvl 5 and 4 respectively .... despite the fact i will not really see the benefit of this for some timje its a skill sink that i have been told by the comunity to trust in ... and even though i am quite new ( a month ) and i would not trust the majority till i get to know them i would trust the advice if there is no chance of harming me ( being told by many diff people helps )

Perhaps someday you want to train archaeology. Think you need survey V for it.

I could be wrong but I believe she wants to lose controled bursts because projectiles dont use cap anymore... however if blasters bacame the next uber pwn Im sure that skill would be fashionable once more.
btw, blasters are not the pwn nor did I imply they would be in the future.

W..T..F..???
This is not WOW, please don't even go there... Remove the isk grind and what are you left with?
If you want to sneak back in, you can maybe get some modules from the wreck of your raven, but chances are the defenders have already looted the wreck and distributed the booty.
Just be glad you made it out with your skills intact.
Corpse runs FFS..?! Please no,.... just NO.

i don't see what this idea would accomplish.. if you do not need the skill now you may in the future and are a few steps ahead of others... as for survey 5, you need it for archeaology which you need to complete some cosmos missions... i just want them to lower the requirement for hacking :)... come on CCP.. you dropped Salvage to level 3's to learn... at least drop Hacking to Electronics Upgrade 4...
