Also, do FAX have a ship maintenance bay and fleet hangar as per the carrier does currently? I'm guessing current the Fighter skill will change to Heavy Support fighters or whatever they're called. I think i'd rather get skillpoints to either put in both skills, or something else :) I doubt it'll happen. It's pretty clear that they aren't going to give out "free" SP, or allow you to do all the things that racial carrier does today at once via refund mechanics -- fighters are probably gonna be the same way. It's tough love.

Would have been a lot simpler to just convert 'tactical logistics recon' to the new FAX skill. And base the performance of triage on that. |

Why cannot i pull injected skill books ? I have carrier A, C , only to use its as offensive carrier. I have carrier B, D only to use its as triage.
Multiply this by 5, as i have so many capital characters you get need to buy 10 fax skill books , and my characters will be left with 10 carrier skills at lvl 0.
You are telling me to invest around 5 billion to use ships in the same way as i am doing now.
Why i cannot select across my characters : - Carrier A to Fax - Carrier B to Combat Carrier - Carrier C to Fax - Carrier D to Combat Carrier

I would like to second what Sub Starasque said above. This carrier has all racial carriers at 5. I can currently fly DPS OR Triage carriers of all races. And now I have to sink 100 days of training into being able to continue to do so, without getting anything new from it. |

We're seeding the 4 Racial Force Auxiliary skills in February, along with skills for Light Fighter Squadrons and Support Fighter Squadrons. Any character with Tactical Logistics Reconfiguration, a Carrier and Force Auxiliary skill (of the same race) injected when the citadels expansion launches, will have the racial carrier skillpoints refunded as unallocated skillpoints. These skillpoints can be reallocated instantly as the player desires.
If you start training the Force Auxiliary skill after the patch tomorrow, you can reallocate your refunded skillpoints right back into your racial carrier skill so you can fly both ships. Or spend them on anything you like!
There'll be a dev-blog going into more details about our transition plans for Carriers, Force Auxiliaries and a bunch of other stuff, coming out later this week.
Cheers, CCP Larrikin
We need to know about the fighter skills as well. What if we already have fighters trained to 5? How will this work if we have fighter-bombers?
Yes I agree that carriers and FAX are the main focus here, but we also need information regarding how the fighter skills will be handled. |

To be fair. What Carriers will be used for after Force Auxiliary ships are added will not be anything like the uses they had before.
Remote rep drone blob Carriers are going away entirely. Carriers are being split into Triage and a new role. So you never had the option to use your Carrier like you could before. Even if they gave you both skills at max level you would still be losing the old Carrier purposes.
The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Will you be refunding the 500 million isk per racial carrier skill injected when citadel expansion goes live and you refund racial carriers skill points. You know, to make up for the extra 500 million isk per force aux skill book you are making us buy. |

That sentence is not quite clear in my opinion. Is that "Any Character with Tactical Reconfiguration SKILL, Carrier SKILL and FAX SKILL" ? Or do you mean "Any Character with Tactical Reconfiguration SKILL, a Carrier (the ship) and Force Auxiliary SKILL" ?
In other word, are you takling about the SKILL or the SHIP when you say "Carrier" ? The "a" before "Carrier" is disturbing. |

Those are pretty long trains and to just throw them out the window feels like I'm getting a giant middle finger to the face. I spent entire months of sub time *just* on those individual skills. |

Today, you can fly a fighter carrier and a triage carrier. Tomorrow you have to decide if you want to fly a fighter carrier and/or a force auxiliary without knowing how either of them will work in the citadel expansion. If you think you want to use a "triage" carrier, you need to buy a 500 million ISK skill book and spend the next two months training an X14 skill, just to retain your current ability in triage. You can also use skill injectors, which will add cost, if you wish to skip the two months of training. 500 million skill book and two PLEX and two months time (or additional ISK on injectors) to keep an ability you already have. Now mulitply that by how many characters can currently fly triage and you see how this is a giant ISK sink. Expect even more pressure on PLEX prices than just skill injectors. |

Have you had a chance to use those skills since training them?
Yes - Congratulations, you've already gained a benefit from the time you spent. No - The training was wasted already and will continue to be wasted.
That said I was betting on the new skillbook being a lower multiplier and cost as it is closer to a Dread in what it provides. For all I know it might still end up that way! May as well try and be optimistic.
Carrier skill is still the gateway to supers I assume which is why it sits between dread and titan. |

So as i am sitting in hyperspace blissfully sleeping in my Master Race Wyvern, how the heck do i get this or these new books in if i read correctly this short time span of tomorrows down time? I have 5 other carrier pilots that qualify for Fax so of one of them sits in my space coffin while i jump up to hisec...does one of my pilots miss out because of jump clone timers? Please tell me there is an easier way...or that im reading into this wrong.

What about those of us who tactical logistics reconfiguration to V, but have no desire to use the Force Auxiliaries, is there any way I can get that refunded so I can reallocate into the new fighter skills? |

Just inject what ever FAX skill race, you'll be refund, and you'll be able to realocate them in any FAX skill race you wish. |

It's always been the case that when new skills replace existing ones the people with the existing skills wouldn't be ****** but I guess that changed too. |

Out of curiosity. If i choose not to inject any Fax book , will my : - Triage - Capital Remote Armor Repair - Capital Remote Shield Booster - Capital Remote Energy Transfer - Capital Remote Hull Repair - Logistic Cruiser V ( this is prerequisite for triage)
Will be moved to unallocated skill pool?
Those skill will be only viable for FAX.
On the other side.
If i not to choose to have any skills connected to combat carriers, will all skill pool from the drone tree will be refunded?
If i skilled character only to use triage carriers i don't need fighters any more.

Don't try and do mental gymnastics about how FAX and carriers roles are significantly different from the combined roles the carrier has now. If you can fly it before a patch you should be able to fly it after a patch, this is an unacceptable solution to the problem. |

If you can fly it before a patch you should be able to fly it after a patch, this is an unacceptable solution to the problem. To be fair to CCP, you can still fly your carrier after the patch. And the remote skills will still work, just not as effectively. The drone skills will still work, just not on a carrier but you can fly other ships which use drones as well. They are changing the role of the carrier, but that's happened before to other ships, I mean, take a look at Marauders for a similarly dramatic change in use.
So it doesn't quite apply as you are trying to use it, though I wouldn't complain if CCP gave everyone both skills either. Neutral myself as to which solution gets used. |

Along with the FAX skills. The CCP post doesn't say you have to have them to a particular level to get the unallocated SP. Plenty of time to do that before Citadel hits, you have months to sort this in. |
