I think that there should be a posibility to trade your useless skillpoints for skillpoints in another skill.
For example, i don''t mine, so this skill is totally useless for me now.
I used to have my own corp, which i don''t have now, so all my Corporation Management skills are also useless.
I think that you for say the Miner skill that is a Rank 1 skill and 256.000 skill points, you should be able to trade this for another Rank 1 skill with maybe a 10% loss of skillpoints. If you trade it to a Rank 2 skill you loose 20% of the skillpoints etc etc.
The loss is there cause elseway you could just change whenever you want and always be good at everything, so the loss of points is a must, but still a way of getting some sort of use for all those wasted skillpoints.
Couldn't this be something for next patch? Kinda sucks having hundreds of thousands of skillpoints that are totally useless!
I don't think i am the only one who in the beginning made some bad descissions with my skilltraining.

Think about what your saying for a moment. Say you go out and take some French language classes. You decide u dont want to know Grench anymore, but German. U cant just convert the stuff you have learnt about French into German, no u have to learn it from scratch.
I don't know if anyone told you this, but this is a game! :)
The skills are already unrealistic, you can train train train and be good at something the first time you try it. This is not the case in real life. No matter how many lessons i got in the army, the first time i fired my weapon i still wasn't good at it although i knew very well how to use it.

Damnit, don't argue with me on this one, agree with me! :) This is something we all would benefit from...

You don't think this is a good idea even if there is a loss of points everytime you move the skillpoints to another skill?
I think it's fair and realistic. As of now i study computers, if i in 2-3 years change my mind and want to study math, i won't have to start all over since there is math included in computer engineering, just not as much as in a pure math program. Almost same thing, i change direction of my studies with a loss.

I get your point. But what if the loss was 50% or more then? Of course the loss must be calculated so there is no way of benefiting from training one skill then moving the skillpoints. I could gladly do a loss of up to 90-95% of the skillpoints as long as i would have any use of the useless points. Cause as it is now, i got 100% loss in some skillpoints cause i have no use what so ever for them. I would benefit of any loss below 100%.
Players who played beta for a long time knew exactly what to train when Retail was released, i just played beta for some weeks, and when retail was out i was still clueless what to train and just trained crap skills wich i never use today.

PreTender: yeah that's a good idea. That is somewhat what i had in mind. Maybe as you say you can transfer your training time with some loss, not the skillpoints, then the attributes won't matter.
