I have to say, what the hell...
What are the ranks of these skills going to be?
I currently fly 3 races of Command Ships on a regular basis, and all 4 races of battlecruiser. I have alts that fly all 4 in both command ships and battlecruisers. Am I going to be forced to choose one, then train 3 more rank 6 skills from 0 to 5 before I can get back to where I was already?
Oh, and if nobody's said it yet, removing the requirement for Battleship 5 to get into capital ships is a horrible idea. Lobbying for your right to delete your signature |

TL;DR these changes are designed to gain choral approval from people who don't know how the game works
In complete and utter seriousness, I would rather CCP changed the BattleCruiser skill to Rank 14 than split it up into racial components. Lobbying for your right to delete your signature |

Does not fix. The cross-race specialization aspect of battlecruisers should absolutely be preserved. Lobbying for your right to delete your signature |

Maybe something more along the lines of what CCP is trying to do: Make one of the bonuses on a battlecruiser be based upon the racial Cruiser skill, make the other based on the Battlecruiser skill.
Splitting up BC into racial components is the worst idea. Sorry. Lobbying for your right to delete your signature |

After all - this is a ROLE playing game - anything to make both ships and races ROLE SPECIFIC, instead everyone can fly everything, is a move in the right direction as far as I'm concerned.
But go the rest of the way and make training a specific skill of a different race more difficult than training the skills of your race - in addition to a racial bonus for the skills of your race - - caldari trains caldari BC in normal time and gets a % bonus for missiles, but if they train minmatar BC it takes longer to train and bonus does not apply - - projectile arty on an amarr ship so you can divert the power/cap to your tank? What kind of nonsense is that!
Sure it 'reduces' the 'diversity/unpredictability' - so what! back to the original point - this is a ROLE playing game. Pretty sure that's not the kind of "role" the term is referring to, bro. Lobbying for your right to delete your signature |
