Once you get in a superCap, you're there for its life, unless you have some clever way of hiding them; you can't dock them in a station, you can't slide them into your pocket.
It obviously, and rightly, takes a fair amount of skill to get into a Mothership or a Titan - But what of all the other skills? There's going to be lots of skills that as a player you'll never use again, because they're not needed to fly your Nyx or your Avatar.
Please, trim these players down, and let me have the skillpoints they'll never use again

I think you can say SuperCap skills are for people who are dedicated enough to train for them, and has a really longtern goal.
That goel fits like a glove with 0.0 alliances need for members.
Hence I dont think it should be changed in any way. It make sense.
For the record, Supercap skills are mostly an exension of your Capital skills. So it's not that illogic really.

Super caps seem like such a waste of isk.
Ok, getting titan is great, since you get the jump bridge and you can scare gate camps with DDD.
But after that...
70B. 1 titan, or 35 dreads. 1 mommy or a few dozen carriers...
Personally, I would prefer the smaller ships, but what do I know. I've never flown the supcaps...

You do have alts right ?
Jump the main out of the mom , jump in alt , logoff alt and go have drinks in jita 4-4 whit your main. But that dosen't work for titans.

Alt account.
If you can afford a titan, and are willing to, as you say, spend the rest of your eve life in one, then you or your alliance can fork over a few billion more for a fun alt to roam with.
Then again... why not roam using a mothership?

Mercenary Coalition. 5 motherships on a gate. A whole bunch of battleships jumping into the system.
Mercenary Coalition. 5 motherships (plus some caps, probably). A bunch of dreads and carriers on a POS.
90 fighters. There's a video of this somewhere.

All you need is an alt account that can pilot a carrier.

Cool. Can i then get back my SPs i invested in Astrometrics lvl5 transferred somewhere else (after Signal Acquisition prereq of Astrom5 was removed)?
Also old prereq. for salvaging (survey 5 iirc) - can i also get it moved somewhere else.
I think if i dig deep enough ill find abt 1,5mil wasted skillpoints after CCP removed skill prerequisites, leaving me with skill thats... useless.

the title should read " are titan skills a waste of skills "
supercaps = titans + mother ships
carriers = caps + fun to fly
If a pilot trains for carriers he needs race carrier skill 1 , every lev of carrier skill meands 1 more fighter he can fly . at carrier lev 3 the pilot is mom ship qualified . most carrier pilots get carrier 4 , so most carrier pilots can fly mom ship .
My main can fly carrier + mom ship but to fly a titan will take 63 days + 10 days for DDD + any other skills needed .
personally I cant think of many roles more boring then being a titan pilot , cant dock etc , can only fire once per hour etc

There are Pirates in the world.
There are Miners.
There are Builders and Plexers, and then
There are those that just run macros, but
I've never been one of them.
I'm a mission runner
and have been since before i was cloned
And the one thing they say about runners is:
They're cowards who hide from being PWND.
You don't have to train E C W.
You don't have to fly in nought-nought.
You don't have equip warp scramblers.
You were a runner from the fist skill taught.

Skills to level five

im sure there could be other variations on this theme however...

I know what you mean. If i wanted to I could get the skills for a titan pretty quickly (- can already fly motherships but dont)
and this whole "in it for life" thing is whats holding me back from bothering. I like using this character. Its my "main one" I've got a few other alts with less skill points but used in different places. This ones my closest to a titan...but frankly I dont want to lose any of them to titan holding...
I can understand that some folks are fine with that, but I'm not :P
Its my understanding that alot of titan pilots are alts trained specifically for this task - or bought for it.
I will save you, but make sure you bring beer - Wrangler

Got 3 words for you : Advanced Spaceship Command
10% better agility for my Carrier - 50 days time sink \0/ if that skill is sacred then the nerfbats are harmless
It's a rank 5 perc/willpower skill, so the same as a cruiser skill. Should take a bit more than 3 weeks. Ok, my industry alt needed 4 weeks from 4 to 5, but his attributes are crap.

There's one ship though, that the skill makes any difference to. That's freighters. Everything else it either doesn't apply, or is a prereq. That to me, screams 'pointless timesink'.
I don't mind having long training to capitals. I do get irked by chaff skills being trained to 5 'just because'.
(electronics upgrades has this problem too)
