Just my thing maybe but I prefer this feature in 3rd party fitting tools. Because you can adjust levels to see what your are getting on skill trains to see how much you need to go for now. Get her up and running and tweak later kind of thing. Plus CCP's recommendations....have not always been the most accurate. Some will recall the old certificates, and how some made no sense.
Or the screen will start to get ugly fast. I'd be looking at the caldari jam rides. If I wrote this requirement screen, then added improvements section it get large real fast. Want to improve the falcon/scorpion/widow...well lets tell you how properly lol.
it be a laundry list of armour tank skills (basically all of them really), rigs (to enhance the jams)....basically a ton of stuff above caldari ship 5, spaceship command 5, etc.

Since gaming took on a paid to play aspect. In that you get the lucky few who get the blog and youtube hits to dumb down games to boost hits, to get paid more. Quick cheat sheet guides filled with great looking videos....but don't bog you down with facts as to why they work. just do this, it works. Okay? now like/subscribe me so I get paid more lol. This sadly works to get those hits. People like the cliffs notes feed it to me approach.
See it other games where when you look for a build you get a few results. Usually short and sweet for the attention deficit disorder crowd. Place like icy veins I will say tries to break this trend. They give the build...then a very thorough description on why and how it works.
But the attention deficit disorder crowd tends to skip the 5-10 minute reads, they go just give me build, words make my head hurt.. Seen in Diablo 3 groups play over a few seasons where I was dealing with some special players in pubs. Asked wtf there they running and why is it so bad.
Saw a few copied icy veins build (one D3 source for build)s, knew the build and had to go dude...did you even read the write up as you are using this build all wrong. You are doing everything it said not to do even. |

Since when is reading skill descriptions difficult? what if you don't even know what skill to look for in the first place? As a new player it would be a lot easier to see i could get a 3% bonus from Surgical Strike than have to go over each skill and read that.
Read the skills on market place. Looking at guns, go on down the line as an example. How I found controlled burst as a pure missile caldari pilot starting hybrid trains among others.
Also what I have done recently on a return from a year break.
Went to my fave skill book station/system...and on down the line read the skills. See whats new, see if needed/wanted. Saw I have to hit caps again for the damn weapon specializations and fighers too....sigh. Also did the same with another account I put on ice 3 years ago and thawed out this weekend. Read the lists, fair hunk of change since a lot changed in years. Take away for that char is I didn't assume my old bitter knowledge was valid. Good thing too....she has quite a list of books to catch up on.
Faster than blog reading in my case. That fun reserved for questions like wtf happened to my worm. I know....that's what she said. |

Some cases yes. Only bombs and mgc need missile bombardment. No other item will list this skill as needed. Not using Mgc or training bomb launcher skill or not reading lists on market....no range for you potentially.
