Why in god's name would CCP RAISE a skill requirement for a ship mid stream!? After Empyrean AGE the navy vexor a corp mate of mine loaned me is now too advanced for me to operate. How did I get it here? Who knows? It will take no fewer than 6 days!? to train to fly it... What am I supposed to be between now and then? Now I am stuck in a station several jumps from any other usable craft. This is the kind of capricious, poorly concieved nonsense that makes people stop looging in, playing games, and spending monthyl fees. What's more, how much of my other stuff now no longer works!? How many other things that I have been training for, or have trained for will either no longer work or will take longer!? I cant know since you people didnt see fit to let anybody know what was going on. How about a message in eve-mail!? How about a msg to my actual RL email? How about SOME notice somewhere... somehow that the central piece of equipment I am using is now beyond my abilities. It isn't even in the change log. there are alot of players in the game who have focussed on non-combat skills, and are instead mining, researching and building and making this player centered economy you've created work. Many of those character were well served by the extra power and protection of navy issed craft, and were glad to pay extra for them to make up for not having the skill to pilot t2 alternatives. They are all screwed... and what's worse they just found out today... nice one. 
Take a breath for gods sake.
Obviously there was a balance issue with the new faction ships being released, and adjustments had to be made. Frankly, 6 days training is nothing in EVE so don't get your panties in such a bunch over it. Hop in a shuttle (or use a noob ship) and fly the "several jumps" to get in a different ship for a few days. Its really, really not that hard.
Look in the bright side, now there are more faction ship options to choose from and honestly, in six days it isn't really going to matter.
