Im trying to plan my skills at the moment to buy the Covetor
Primary Skill required:
Mining Barge V
Astrogeology III
Science IV
Mining IV
Industry V
and
Secondary Skill required
Astrogeology V
Science IV
Mining IV
Now from what i can see, i dont need Astrogrology V to get any of the Primary Skills, only Astrogeology III
If i can ignore the Secondary Skill, then I can fly this ship about 21 days earlier then if i need Astrogeology V
So instead of being able to fly it late april, i would be able to fly it in late march, ergo, biiiig difference.
Is this possible???? As when i look at the skill training times, once i get astrogeology V just over a day later i can have the Hulk, which makes me think the Covetor becomes a bit useless, BUT if there is a 21 day difference, well then, different story.

No, there is no way you can skip the secondary skills. You need to get them all to be able to fly a Covetor.
But you are absolutely right about the Hulk. It is only a couple of days training away from a Covetor. So if you can afford it you should definitely skip the Covetor and go straight for the Hulk.

D'oh!
Seriously cant be bothered with the Covertor now, will just wait the whopping 24 hours to get my hulk and stick with my briutix with 7 mining lasers which from my math, will mine faster then the Procurer and Retriever per min
7 X 60m3 per min (420m3)
comapred with
180m3 and 360m3 respectivly

Still not sure why some skips have Primary/Secondary/Tertiary Skills. Since they're ALL required may as well stick them all under the same listing as 'Required Skills'.
I guess its for neatness and organization?

Note to fly a Covetor you only need the skills Mining Barge V and Astrogeology V.
In theory you could fly a Covetor without Industry V. In practice you cannot get Mining Barge V without training Industry V.
There are currently (this is appearently changing with Tech 3) only 3 or fewer requirements for any ship/item/skill: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. All the others are requirements for the requirements.
Because the additional requirement do not apply directly you can get some interesting effects. For example, it is possible for you to train Command Ships, then lose the required Battlecruisers V skill due to a pod death with a poor quality clone.
In that case you could still pilot a Nighthawk, provided that you meet the required skills (Caldari Cruiser V, Command Ships I, and Heavy Assault Ships IV) but you would not be able to continue training Command Ships until you retrained Battlecruisers V.

Just train your brain to read "Primary Skill", "Secondary Skill", ect. as "Requirement #1", "Requirement #2", etc. and you'll be fine.

Technically, the Covetor itself only requires Mining Barge V and Astrogeology V to fly. The rest of the skills are prerequisites for these two skills.
In this case, you need Astrogeology III (and Industry V) in order to train the Mining Barge skill at all, even to level I. Likewise, you need Science IV and Mining IV before training Astrogeology I.
