I can't use Heat yet, and tbh I will not change my skill plan to achieve it yet, maybe later.
There are a really big array of skills to learn, some are very important for every pilot, others aren't. Why should we have a cookie-cutter skill plan? And how long and time consuming is that plan? 8 Million sp (like someone said) to jump to a cruiser? That looks nice for a second char/account, but NOT for the newbie that is learning EvE for the first time, he will do lot's of mistakes in his skill plan (I did) and I really doubt that a 1st time char would wait till 8m skill points to jump to a cruiser (I didn't).
It's nice to have variety in what you want to learn, I have 15m sp if I'm not mistaken and I'm still learning stuff other people learned around 5m. It was my choice to learn what I wanted to learn at the time I wanted to do it. And EvE it's great because of that freedom of choice.
Now it's like they are *forcing* people to *waste* time learning for I don't know how many weeks/months so they can use properly the UI (newbies don't have learning skills and really have a lot of important skills to learn). Of course nobody is forcing anything, but the Heat is there.
I DON'T have a problem with the Heat pre-req skills, what really bothers me is the UI.
I really like the EvE skill learning system. It feels nice when you achieve something that you wanted few days/weeks/months ago. And Heat is no exception.
I never had a problem with EvE UI before, of course it could be better but no big deal. But this? The fact that everybody and their dog will have Heat on all his active modules and lot's of them can't use it, it's really ridiculous.
And because of that, because Heat is spammed in all the EvE UIs of everybody, even if they are playing only for 4 days, or 4 months, or 4 years, what were you expecting? Of course people will complain.
What I find ridiculous is that a new player will have Heat spammed all over the UI but he can't use it. Someone compared a carrier with Heat... damn, a new player will not login for the first time and see a Carrier in his hangar, but guess what, I believe he will have Heat on his civilian gun (not confirmed, but it seems the UI is unique, the old one was overwritten with RevII).
If you want to compair a Carrier with Heat, put a carrier in the hangar of the newbie that is logging in EvE for the first time, then see what happen in the forums.
Heat UI should only appear when you can use it, NOT BEFORE.
OBS: I really have to say it, even if that makes me a bigger whiner, I hate people whining about whiners, you are whiners also you know that don't you? Of course... this fact makes me even a worse whiner... i'm whining about people whining about whiners. Bha.

Spammed? How are you spammed in the UI by heat? I got the skill requirement message once, when I clicked on the toggle ring of my F1 gun.
Bad choice of words, the heat bars are in all active modules and in the navigation UI.
When I said spam it was not *verbal messages spam*, more of a graphical heat bars spam.
