As a rule of thumb, the higher the rank of the skill, the less of an impact it has.
case in point:
Racial frigate (rank 1). takes about 10 days to train to level 5. Result? You go from being able to fly tech 1 frigates to flying tech 2 frigates.
Advanced Weapon Upgrades (rank 6): takes about 36 days to train to level. Result? the powergrid need to fit any gun or missile launcher to my ships drops by a measly 2%. is also one of four requisite skills for using a siege module on a dreadnought - an effect which is of no use whatsoever if you aren't a dreadnought pilot.
So, low end skills produce big results. you get very tangible improvements out of them.
Higher end skills are all about refining your performance by small increments. They give an edge, but not a big one by any means... and having the ability to fit that extra tachyon II to my Geddon is of limited use if I've been ECM'd by somebody with a tenth of my skill points flying a blackbird, and can't shoot anything.

When I started people had battleships and I could barely fly a cruiser, so what. It also took a month to get a cruiser, not 5 minutes like it does now.
Aye, it's not like 'twas in t' olden days.... why, I use to have to fly fifteen kilometers to t' gate and t' station, all in t' cold hard vacuum o' space...
aye, them were the days....
